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.
