Kenta Matsudaira service.

Swaroop Lakey Asked 11 years ago

Hi Alois,

Coach can you please teach me how to perform the Kenta Matsudaira serve.

I had seen it in this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEigdToNPzY

Hi Swaroop,

It is a great serve isn't it?

It is basically a Tomahawk serve but he does it with a high toss and bending his knees on contact to get the contact nice and low.

He changes the contact between the forehand and backhand sides of his racket to do the Tomahawk and Reverse serves.

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.

Hi Mr.Alois,

Yes, its an excellent serve, Zang-Jike had problems with it. How to perform it? I try to bend my knees but still I can't contact the ball. The ball either goes out with a lot of power or it hits the net when I try to decrease the power.

Sounds like more practice is required then Swaroop.
