Service types
Serving
Cirja OnyX Asked 11 years ago
Hi,
I've tried many types of serve, but they seem to have no effect when they pass the net. I tried pendulum, backspin or a topspin but they don't get that spin that changes their direction. Could you show me the move that I have to make with my wrist during the serve, so that I could get that spin. I suppose the rubber that I have could influence the spin right?
Thanks!

Hi Cirja,
The rubber may be a factor. What bat are you using?
If your rubber is OK, then try to get the brushing action on the ball and then move your wrist through quickly.
We have a lot of information on how to perform good serves in our Serving Secrets series.

I'm using a Joola bat with Teacher rubber on both sides. I have the bat for 7 months i guess, and allways i try washing it after I play, and I also put the protecting plastic back on the bat. Maybe the rubber isn't sticky enough, and I also though about buying a new one.
You may need to buy a new bat to be bale to generate more spin as the rubber has probably worn out.
