How Do You Successfully Recreate Jan Ove Waldner's Serve. I found him to be an idol in my uprising in becoming a successful player. I was always left with questions watching him play and would like to ask you how to do it.
Thanks Coach,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
I wish I could replicate them too.
He does a lot of different things with his serves. Which of his serves do you like in particular.
I like his Pendulum serve with the fake follow through where he throws his elbow forward. To do this the main thing is to make the serve first and then do the follow through. You still need to get a good contact to generate spin. The follow through just gives your opponent a different picture of the serve and makes it a little more difficult to deal with.

The Float Serve
The float or no spin serve is an effective tool to have in your bag of serves. It adds good variation to your serves and can often set you up with an easy 3rd ball opportunity.

One of his in particular is the reverse topspin pendulum. It almost resembles topspin but it isn't quite. It would be awesome if you made a video but one can dream.
Cheers,
