Tennis: serving

Oh boy, serving. Serving can win or loose you. The key is to own the first serve and if fails then own the second serve. How do you own the first serve? fast serve obviously, but an effective one might just do esp. in doubles. How about second serve? control. At first serve, it all depends on the server; at second serve, depends on the receiver. On second serve, receiver knows that the attempt wont be as fast. This is the hardest stroke to learn among other most used strokes. Forehand is a must topspin or backspin, the same as backhand. Plus you can, go around do forehand instead of backhand and vice verse. But for service, no way around it. Of course, there is underhand but easily returned. I spend a whole of time, practicing and analyzing this stroke. You can practice but if you does not improve that it wont be as effective. Two important things: the throw and the stroke. Cant have the stroke if does not have the throw. In addition, different throw for different stroke. Moreover, different racquet and it could be very different result. Different player have different stroke, thats why I loved it. #tennis #serve
