Serving
Mr. Alois
Now its been almost 1 and a half years since i started playing and im really getting frustrated,
I have no one to play with and i end up practicing serves for about forty five minutes each day and i still cant get any consistency in my serve.
The strange thing about this is that sometimes after weeks of continuous training i manage to perfect my serve but when i try to serve the day after i cant even hit the ball with my bat!!!, and i realize that i have to start from the basics again. Now this has kept happening to me for about five or six times.
So what do you think is it simply because i think too much? or is it my equipment?
Please help me since i cant figure out why.
thank you.

Hi Sachintha,
I would say it is probably that you are overthinking it. When you are training regularly, with your serving you will develop consistency. Because serving is such a fine skill where you are trying to brush the ball finely, it is important to be regular with the practice. Don’t stress if it takes a while before you get it right. The best players in the world still practice their serves every training session.
This tip on getting the bat angle right will make the biggest difference in getting the ball to spin back towards you.

Thanks for the reply.but the thing is that i practice 7 days a week (half an hour each day for serve training) ,so could it simply be that i could have 'over practiced'?
Thank you.
