Talk Tennis - View Single Post - How to turn a heavy spin serve into a flatter serve

In my opinion, a flat serve in the girls game is just a waste of time due to a couple of reasons:
1. Girls don't hit with enough power for it to be a serious weapon - all good girls can return flat serves easily.
2. Girls are shorter - making it more difficult to hit it with good consistency.

Unless your name is Serena that is...

No, much better to spend time on developing a kick serve. That's more unusual and will give a lot of free points!
