Serving long
Strategy
Matej Jovanović Asked 12 years ago
Hi Alois,
That short backspin serves are simple and effective but is it good to serve long backspin serves, when I play with my friends I also serve some long backspin serves, or is it better to keep them short ?

Hi Matej,
In general when you play against better players it is important to serve short. If they don't attack too strongly then a long backspin serve can also be effective.
It is a matter of trialling different serves to see what works against each player that you play.
