Hi, guys

I have a question about this player's service. You already had a video response about his serve, but, I am curious about something. Is there a way to serve a reverse punch serve, and if so, how, can you demonstrate? Thank you in advance.

Hi Sasha,

I am sure there is... what action are you referring to?

Well, if his serve in general is side spin serve, whether it is backspin side spin, or usual side spin, you see him serving from one side. For instance, I am right handed, so my rotation is to the left. Can I make a reverse punch serve, with similar movement to serve the ball on the right, if you get me

Give it a try Sasha and see if it works for you.  I don't see why it shouldn't.  Try hitting it with the backhand side of your bat.  You will need to get your bat coming in towards you more.
