Hi Alois

how to serve with a lot of spin using forehand? but I don't want the ball to reverse back to me, I want it to chance it's direction. I need to know how should I move my hand.

Hi Roderich,

To get the ball to change direction you need to brush the ball on the side.  This will get the ball having some sidespin which is what makes it curve in the air change direction.

We have a lot of tips on serving in our Serving Secrets lessons.  Take a look through what is available.
