3 Types Of Second Serves | SECOND SERVES

I always thought kick had racket follow through away from body for right hander

For anyone less than 6 feet tall, it’s physically impossible to hit a flat serve because the sweet spot on the racquet strings can’t see the service box over the net. I’m 5’-3”, so my 1st serve has to be a slice. If I were to use a kick or slick serve for my 2nd serve I’d be asking my body to hit another 1st serve because the mechanics are different to the slice. Therefore, I only use the slice mechanics for my 1st & 2nd serve, so that I can use my 1st serve as a dress rehearsal for my 2nd serve with 1 correction to avoid the 1st serve fault. If the 1st fault was a little long, I duplicate my 1st serve with a looser grip for added top spin to suck the ball down into the service box. If the 1st fault hit the top of the net, I duplicate my 1st serve but keep my tossing hand up a split second longer for the racquet to make contact while the it’s is still rising to put more shape on the ball to get it over the net. If my 1st serve fault is a little left or right, I duplicate my 1st serve but I just adjust my stance a little to the right or left. However, when my 1st serve misses the the service box badly, it was most likely because I didn’t have a target, so I duplicate my 1st serve but with a specific service box target.
