However, Ace knows that lots of people have trouble getting their serves in. (A fact appreciated by Ace during many a tournament!) So here are some of the most common service problems and some simple steps to cure them:
Cure: Most serves into the net are caused by dropping one's head at the last moment. Fortunately, this does not require brain surgery to fix!
Concentrate on keeping your head up - follow your toss into the air and keep watching the ball until you actually see your racket hit it!
This is simple stuff. You don't even need to be an athlete - all you have to do is be able to see!
Cure: You're probably using the wrong grip - I'll bet you're using a forehand grip. Try using an Eastern Backhand grip when you serve, or at the very least, a Continental grip. (See my Grip Page for more details!)
Concentrate on swinging up and over - this will put a lot of topspin on your serve. As you get the hang of this, speed up your swing - the faster you swing, the more spin; the more spin, the more control; the more control, the harder you can hit your serve - you get the idea!
