FINALLY!!!
In this last installment we will look at changing your serves to the returner. It is really just a list of things that I have noticed bother certain types of people.
Samantha Stosur - Best Kicker on the WTA tour
• Returners that hit the ball flat (pushers and power hitters) have a problem with slices and dink serves.
• Conversely, returners that hit the ball with a lot of spin have a problem with fast flat serves.
• Everyone has a problem with a serve to the body unless they are expecting it.
• One handed backhands are vulnerable to kick serves
• Sometimes the returners best rally stroke is their worst return
• Chubby guys do not take more than one step to return a serve
• People get serves back better on crucial points
• Probe to find the weaknesses. Once you find it, prioritize it. But hit a fast serve to the strength every once in a while.
• Hit slower angles for people that stand far back.
• Hit faster serves for people that are close.
• No one likes a big variety of depth and placement.
• Slice serves are rarely used with club players. Learn one and returners will hate you.
• Every now and then dink a person who slices returns
• If someone stands really close to the service line, any serve into the body will do except for a dink.
I think that is everything. Most of serving is mental. So having a lot of options can make you feel better.
