Topspin Serve

Do you want a reliable topspin serve?

Well, first thing you have to do is realize the difference between topspin and flat serve.

flat serve goes from arm behind to in front of your body. it has a forward motion to it.

However, topspin serve is different. It has a different take back, depending on the person’s form but for me it is different. Also it doesn’t have a forward motion. Instead, it has a upward motion, almost like a windshield wiper. The topspin uses lots of wrists unlike flat serve because it needs much more spin than a flat serve.

This is a great kick serve and watching it might help.

Oh, also the toss. Toss should be somewhere around, the top of the head, because depeding on how far you jump, it can differ.

Only advice that i can give you is practice. IT took me about a year just to get the concept of topspin serve even with videos and instruction. You won’t get it just by looking in computer. You’ll have to get the feel of it. so practice, practice, practice. At first, it wont go much far. Another advice, throw the ball behind you head when you are beginning. It helps a lot.

Practice! only way to get better.
