Hi Jia,

A racket cover can help to protect it from dust and also from heat.  Heat and dust are big problems for rubber.

To get a good serve you need to generate some spin and place the ball well.

To get spin on the ball you need to brush the ball finely and brush it as fast as you can to make the ball rotate.  Placing the ball is also important.  Try to put the ball into a position that is awkward for your opponent and also somewhere they can not attack the ball.  Often close to the net is a good option.

Take a look at our Serving Secrets Revealed DVD.  It will help you out with how to serve. We are planning a DVD on returning serve. This is next on our list of feature DVDs after we complete our Training Secrets Revealed DVD.
