Problem with serve

Hi pingskills,

My brother ( 9 years ) has got a little problem with serve, because he's 1,42m. I' ve tried to show him some serves with sidespin or backspin, but he has got problems. So that he serves topspin serve, which is very easy to return. What serve do you recommend him and how can he improve his serve ?

Hi Jakub,

Try the Tomahawk serve first.  This is an easier serve when you are shorter.  The Pendulum serve may be more difficult because it is difficult to get enough height to get over the ball.
