Serve Placement

[johnval1362]

I have a pretty big serve in certain spots only. If i am on the duece side, i can serve a down the tee ace on a pretty consistent level, but if i try to slice it out wide, or hit it flat out wide, its a no go, so players just move over a little bit because i cant hit the serve to that side with any consistency(when its flat).

On the ad side, ive got a great first and second serve kick out wide. takes them way off the court, but once again the same thing happens, they move over.

I know the obvious answer to this question is learn to slice, but whenever i slice the ball, i hit frame alot, and instead of slicing out wide and keeping it going wide, (on the deuce side), it hits wide and then almost changes direction a little bit so it kinda bounce straight up. However, i need to figure out how to get that slice serve that moves them way off the court. Any ideas?

Adjust your toss a little, so its a little bit more to your right (assuming you're a righty). Make sure you're basically making contact with the ball at 3 O'clock. That should help with the framing.

Try to rotate your upper body more, and not only your arm, because that will lead to injuries. Also work on your toss but don't overdo it, if you start throwing it too much to the right or in front of you, that could also lead to injuries. It is all a matter of timing.

Basically the fact that you serve to the T on deuce and wide on ad shows that you just don't rotate your upper body enough.

adjust your racket face and the ball toss and the contact point/face of the racket when u do it. hope it helps
