Primorac High Toss Backhand Serve

Hi Alois, 

Can you please analyze Zoran Primorac's high toss backhand serve. Can you explain how to get more spin and where to contact the ball? I have a pretty good backhand serve (Similar to the Ovtcharov serve. I copied it off your other video) Should I try this serve? and is it able to make a video about this for better understanding?

Thanks,

Adeepa

Hi Adeepa,

Primorac's high toss Backhand serve is a good one to copy and can be really effective.

He has a real ease of motion with it and allows the ball to drop onto the racket.  The speed of the ball dropping from the higher trajectory will get you a lot of spin.  He then uses a relaxed motion with his arm and wrist to generate the spin.

Contact the ball near the front edge of your racket for more spin.

I will put this on the list of videos to produce.
