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

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.

Gerada v Lu

Once again Alois and Jeff discuss a great match from the PingSkills Classic. This is the first quarter final between the number 1 seed Simon Gerada and Percy Lu. Without giving too much away, just make sure you watch the incredible backhand that Percy Lu hits in the 4th set. It really is the shot of the tournament.
