Top slice is the best serve to learn in my opinion. it can be used as a 1st or 2nd serve. you will swing up and to the R for a R handed server on both 1st and 2nd serves.
For 1st serve, toss it about a foot into the court and just slightly to your R. Since it is a foot in front, you'll open the shoulder into contact and get good pace.
For a 2nd serve toss it only a inch or 2 into the court and straight up a 12 o'clock. Since it isn't too far in front, you'll need to keep the shoulders closed longer and swing more to the R but still upward too.

Topspin serve is just a more athletic and aggressive kick serve.I used to think topspin serve = kick serve and they differ only by the name. I started to wonder...
topslice....whats better, to first learn the kick serve, slice or the first serve? what do you think?

Basically Federer`s 2nd serve. Done with a kicker arm action (for topspin) but with a toss closer to a flat serve (for depth) that requires a lot of elevation.What?

This serve is going to have less "jump" off the court when it lands, but will have a few more mphs.
