Lefty service

TIM MONTZKA Asked 16 years ago

I am a lefty and I am wondering where I should serve from against a right handed player.  Do I still serve from the backhand side or do I switch to the forhand side to play into the oponents backhand?

Hi Tim,

Yes still serve from the backhand corner. You can change te direction slightly if you want to serve to their backhand.  You can still serve to their forehand as long as it is short.  A lot of righthanders find this an awkward serve to return.

If you serve from the forehand corner too often it will expose your backhand corner too much.
