Reverse backhand serve
Serving

Hi again!

Have you seen people serve like this? Are there any potential downsides to it? I find it somewhat easier to play short with a lot of brush than a normal backhand serve. Also people just stare at you like "what the hell did you just do?" if you start off with a really long and fast serve like that :-)

Hi Johan,
Yes this is a good way of serving for some players. I find it easy to generate more spin with a relaxed wrist doing it this way.
Keep developing it if you can.

It can be effective,I think..
I use this serve while in trouble
I saw a young player use this yesterday for the first time. It was something that he thought of himself and it came really naturally to him.
