  • can a topspin serve hurt your arm like throwing a curveball?

  • @zdavidli Yes it can happen, the key to prevention is... do not grip the racquet tightly, grip the racquet as if you're holding a small bird, loosely, keep the arm loose like spaghetti and DO NOT try to muscle the ball. Deep tissue massage of the forearm after play is also a great preventive measure. All the best, Tom

  • The brush gives you the idea of what you're doing to the ball with the racket strings. You brush the ball from 7 to 1 to impart the topspin. All the best, Tom

  • Thanks, let your tennis buddies know.

  • Hi Merisa,

    If you're referring to the topspin serve you'll want it slightly over the head, so you're looking up at the ball and if you let it drop it would land on your face. In that way you can get the racket head to make contact moving low to high, brushing the ball from the 7 o'clock position to the 1 o'clock position, to impart the topspin.

    All the best,

    Tom

  • So when you do a top spin serve, then there is no pronation for this serve right? I tried to pronate but it's a bit difficult. Am I doing it right? I hit a flat serve by pronating and it's great, but I don't think you can pronate with a top spin serve. It is the pronation after the serve for the top spin. Is it right?

    Thanks

  • @didanhtennis Don't think about pronating so much, but, you WILL naturally pronate even when executing a topspin serve, just let it happen naturally don't force it. All the best, Tom

see all
