  • The American Twist is a variation of the kick serve. It has a lot more of a curve to it and a less predictable kick. If you watch Federer's kick serve aces in his highlights, they're mainly american twists.

  • kick should land all the way at the side of the ad court. so when it bounce it will kick away. so the opponent will try to reach it with backhand. but all he did lands on the middle almost.

  • this vid n the twist serve vid r very help full 2 me cause i just started playing tennis n i love it! :P

  • can u tell me the diference between american twist and kick serve?

  • just so u no if u read this the one thing he doesnt have thats making his twist from working as well is when u toss it up u gotta bend n turn ur knees out faceing away from the court not forward... if he does that hell kick it in n it'll have alot more spin

  • The twist serve has more spin. ^^

  • they are different because American Twist kicks to the opponents left and Kick just kcik upwards.

  • ad side only if you're right handed.
