Hi Pingskills,
 
I recently managed to master the action of the reverse serve. However, I am interested to know what variation you can get off the serve? I know how to get the different types of spin, brush up for topspin, down for backspin etc.. but are these possible off the reverse serve action?
 
Thanks

Hi Simon,

You can get variations of spin with the reverse serve.  You can get sidespin with topspin or backspin.  The backspin variation can be more difficult because it is hard to get under the ball.  With practice it is possible.

The float or no spin serve is an effective tool to have in your bag of serves. It adds good variation to your serves and can often set you up with an easy 3rd ball opportunity.
