Any thought about serving with the long pips side of the racket?  Any advice, tips or techniques would be appreciated.

You have been a great help to my game.

Thanks, Phil

Hi Phillip,

If you serve with the long pimples you will not be able to generate much spin.  It is good as a variation if you can keep the ball low and they can't attack it.  YOu may get a high push return that you can attack.  But do not use it too often.

Variation of Speed

Varying the speed is different from varying the length. You can have a fast short serve and a slow short serve. You can also have a fast long serve and a slow long serve.
