What is the best serve

kaivalya vohra Asked 12 years ago

hi coach i have tried out many serves (backspin, sidespin, pendulum) but my opponent always returns them back with either a loop or a topspin hit. which type of serve do you think will be good for me and will trick my opponent?(i am an amateur player)

Hi Kaivalya,

Try to improve a variety of serves to start with.  Just keep experimenting and trying to generate lots of spin and to various positions.  Against each opponent try a few different serves and see which one works the best.  There isn't one serve that is the best necessarily.  It will change against each player you play.
