The Differences Between Topspin And Flat Tennis Serve

A top spin serve has a more sideways stance, contact point is more above the head and the sound of hitting the ball with spin is different.

i was just wondering... by any chance, will you teach us how to do a spin serve?

[TennisMindGame]

Go to my website and under Instruction section you will find an article for the top spin serve.

1. flat goes forehand, topspin goes backhand[ACCORDING TO WHAT HE DID ;D]

but in reality

2.Flat = small bounce, Topspin = jumpy

[ThirdDrunkDog]

for people who didnt get it, watch it again, but this time, focus on the sound.

Close your eyes and listen...

can you hear the flat serve?

Now watch it again and follow the head of the racquet

@FuzyConker just watch how the ball reacts...if it kicks up, then there is some action on the ball...

In order to hit a top spin serve or kick serve..he should of changed his grip. He was hitting a slice not a top spin serve.

[FuzyConker]

[almeidajamie]

so slow!

[RcGuitarHeli]

I use the top spin serve as a second serve

[gameplay0]

depends. flat is usually really heavy and powerful. a topspin serve can be jumpy, or be used to help the ball sink for those of us shorter players.
