Will Unknown Asked 16 years ago

I'm a beginner and I just started practicing a side spin serve, how can I get more spin more consistently?

Hi Will,

There is a short answer to this one.  Practice...

Remember to generate spin you need to contact the ball finely and quickly. This is a very fine skills and therefore needs lots of training.  Even the best players still practice their serves because the body needs to keep finely tuned with sucha complex skill.

We will have a Video lesson shortly on spin serves so stay tuned.
