Serving Short

Kelly Kehrer Asked 7 years ago
I am working on serving short and one of the challenges I am having is figuring out if I need to get a finer brushing stroke or simply take a little speed off the stroke. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks,
Kelly

Hi Kelly,
Try to keep the same speed but get a finer contact. This will ensure you are still getting a good amount of spin. If you slow the stroke down you will potentially get less spin.

Yes it can.

Alois, any thoughts on where the bounce on the servers side should be? Usually it is taught that you should have the bounce close to the net, but I have read one book that suggested that moving the first bounce a little towards the server changes the angle the ball bounces up the other side of the net and so is harder to return short as it will have just a little more forward momentum when the receiver hits it.
