ball contact, grip, toss on my serve

[qohelet]

Please on the ball contact, grip, and toss of my serve

Flat serve/ power serve
ball contact= back of the ball
grip= continental
toss= farther in front

Slice serve
ball contact= 3 o'clock side of the ball
grip= continental
toss= farther to the right (right handed)

extreme slice serve
ball contact= back of the ball to 3o'clock side
grip= continental
toss= farther to the right

topspin serve
ball contact= from 6 o'clock to 12 o'clock back of the ball
grip= close to eastern backhand
toss= 12 o'clock above your head

i can pretty generate large amount of spin on my kick, slice, and topspin serve. however, on my flat serve it's hard for me to put the ball on service box.

On your slice, remember to have an open racquet on the finish across your body. Also...i have a pretty decent "flat" first serve, and i just try to stay loose on it.


Your plans seem to be ideal, though.

this is how i do it =)

Slice serve[/B]
ball contact= 2 o'clock side of the ball
grip= continental
toss= farther to the right (right handed)


and instead of top spin serve, i would suggest kick serve which is little bit more left from the top spin serve 11 o clock

Aren't a kick and a topspin server the same? Perhaps you mean a twist serve?

hitting the ball in 2 0'clock will make it more like a kick serve.

two o clock is to the right. That's a slice.

 

[blue03]

top spin serves, the ball ball toss is directly at 12 oclock or a little bit to 11 oclock ?

either of the two will do. i prefer tossing it 12 oclock.

 

[tennisfanatic]

two o clock is to the right. That's a slice.

But the rotation of the ball when hitting it at 2 oclock will make it kick high to the right. thus more like a kick serve.

 

[xtremerunnerars]

Oh, well it depends on the way your wrist goes, and what part of your racquet it hits. I assumed you were swinging from right of the ball to the left, not the other way.

But yeah, if it hits the top of your racquet then it'll kick up.
