Serving
Pasquale Mule Asked 12 years ago
Hi Alois, i have a been practicing a new serve since last week and i just want to say that it's a short sidespin serve. And the good things about it are that i keep it tricky, i spin it in axis to the opponents side and after he will be pushing it to my forehand so his stroke would be long and i will be able to be the attacker because i can topspin it.
Do you think my serve is good or do you have any other serves that might help me?
Thanks for reading!

Hi George,
If you are getting the opportunity to attack on the next ball then your serve is effective.
Keep working on it.
