Greetings,
What is the purpose of putting spin in serving? I'd be glad to hear your opinion thanks

Hi Popo,
Serving fast doesn't give you enough of an advantage because your opponent doesn't have much area to cover. So spin is the crucial element to be able to vary to gain an advantage.
Placement is also something that you can vary, but spin is the number one.
