Serving for Offensive Players

Strategy

Arya Babaei Asked 10 years ago

Hi Jeff Plumb and Alois Rosario, What are some good serves you recommend for an offensive player? Thanks for any help.

Alois Rosario Answered 10 years ago

Hi Arya,

Serving is very specific to each player. However, if you feel you have a better attacking game than you opponent you can serve some different serves with topspin to get the ball up higher to be able to make an attack.

So you can use the Pendulum serve, the Tomahawk serve, the Backhand serve or any other serve. The variations of spin and then adding some topspin will help you make effective attacks.

Tactics Against Penhold Players

When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
