Banana serve is my natural serve when serving from a drop serve. I find unless its windy its easier to hit this hard with a combo of top and side spin for a deep serve that runs when it bounces.

Note that your wrist has an angle that allows the paddle tip to 'drag' back. Combine this with a little looseness at the wrist, early in the swing, can result in more topspin. Great video !

I was told a few weeks ago that my serve is illegal because I "tossed" the ball. I did not. But it got me to look up the rules - new rules. From how the rule is written, more than half the people I see serving are breaking the rule. So... What's the deal? Can you show, based on the latest rules, what is considered a good serve vs. an illegal serve? Thanks ... I was not 'tossing' the ball I was moving my hand out of the way. Then I watched how B Johns served. He obviously has practiced a lot. But it's a perfect release. What is the best technique to 'toss' the ball without actually tossing it?

I also use the banana serve swing on a lot of ATP's that people don't expect me to be able to bend around the post, when I get it just right i can get a ball deep in the kitchen around from inside the post to bend around it and back in to just land in the back corner.

Spin serve is good if you can bounce near the boundary, so that the ball reaches far from the opponent. Fast top spin serve to the opponent's body is also effective. Combine it with the low drop serve.

Really great serve information. I especially liked the bit about how to put more topspin on the serve. I also think the legs come into platy. You have to explode out of the legs which turns the hips. The hips twist the shoulders, the shoulders whip the arm, the arm moves the wrist on the windshield wiper.

I tend to agree. I have played doubles table tennis for 27 years, and started pickleball this year. This game is mid way between table tennis and tennis. The spins that I used in table tennis, I am now using in pickleball. Side spins are the easiest to perform. Top spin is more difficult to impart. I am not sure underspin is very possible given the weight of ball and the distance it has to travel. The underspin drop shot has to be a short distance shot. So easy to muck up.

But how are the padles and ball in pickleball ? Does it have enough grip to produce that spin effect so that when the opponent touches it, it will fly off or is it easier to counter it ?

Side spin in pickleball is easy. The regular underspin in table tennis is only possible over a short shot. Top spin is doable, but more difficult with pickleball. A pickleball can fizz in the air, with its many holes sucking and blowing the air it traverses. The fizzing ball in pickleball is scary, and it takes more concentration to try to get a decent return hit. The fizzing pickleball moves around in the air, and takes more energy to return. Table tennis balls don't fizz. @@crysflake

Cool video, question. Can you bounce the ball of the ground for your serve?
@baseballgenius3
@baseballgenius3 5 ай бұрын
Yes. I’m surprised they didn’t mention it, because I find it makes it much easier to hit the ball with spin. When you bounce the ball on the serve, you are no longer required to hit up through contact or keep your wrist above the ball at contact. All of those rules go out the window, so you can hit down on it, across it, whatever is comfortable to generate a lot of spin. I use the drop serve exclusively because it gives me a lot more options for how to serve and avoids complaints about serves being illegal. I highly recommend it. I’m a 5.0 player, so reasonably strong.

Is a forehand slap serve legal? I’ve seen it a bit and I thought the serve had to be underhand, but this is a flat motion (think a slap forehand in tennis). Cranking the wrist back (instead of the whole arm) 90 degrees with a vertical motion to contact the ball

I feel like these are more gimmicky than useful because better players can return them no problem. Like you said, in rec play they can dominate but if someone wants to get better but wins 11-1 mostly from their serves, they didn't get any better because rallies never happened. This could easily win you in a 3.0 tournament though, when you do whatever it takes to win

If you’re just in a rec play game why would you use a spin serve? My goal in rec play is to play. If your opponent doesn’t return the ball the game never gets underway. I can see someone using it in a tournament but a lot of tournaments are making it against tournament rules so I don’t see these as being all that useful.

True, higher rank players can handle any spin but it's still something to 'annoy them'. If it takes players 'out of position's to disrupt their 'stacking strategy ', why not?? And maybe only ONE of the two opposite can handle spin, so it's still a good option as an arsenal of attack.

Why do videos like this never address the drop serve? Because you don’t have to worry about all the swinging up, keeping the wrist above the paddle, etc., you can really crank up the spin. For example you can hit a really aggressive slice serve that curves a LOT and bounces very low, making it much harder to return with pace and topspin. Plus it eliminates the “illegal serve” complaints that happen a lot with any serve other than basic topspin. I’ve hit people in the knees with my slice serve because of all the movement and weird bounce, even 4.0+ players. 5.0 players can return it, but realistically they can return basically anything, and the slice is a very effective change of pace, occasionally drawing a return error. Seems like a no brainer to teach to newer players

My opponents at the club level are constantly complaining that I'm hitting the ball above my waist and thus an illegal serve when I try to mimic your top spin server. I don't think that I am as I've videoed myself through over 100 serves. I just end up reverting to the drop serve to shut them up.

I do a backhand screwball (so serving from the right hand court, it will spin out wide). I'm still perfecting it, but when I get it right it's very effective. I also tend to do a bounce serve which keeps the serve very low, and more difficult to return. I did one of your screwballs the other day and it really kicked out wide, very satisfying!

There are no rules about slicing your serve. You cannot spin the ball with your hand, you must make contact with the ball below the level of your belly button and must be underhanded (the ball must be below your wrist at the point of contact). That's it. Any spin you can impart on the ball following those guidelines is perfectly legal.

You are correct that an slice type serve is illegal. "The server’s arm must be moving in an upward arc at the time the ball is struck with the paddle." That is one of the 3 limitations placed on a volley serve. The graphic in the video showing the path of the paddle in a “corkscrew” type serve clearly shows a downward arc. Therefore, that serve is illegal.

​​@@jstutz36In general I agree that a backspin or slice serve would not be legal. Because the motion to hit it would be high to low. However, look closely at his example serve at 6:04. He finishes up near his left shoulder which means he is hitting low to high. He has a bit of a back swing which travels downward but at the point of contact he is hitting up on it. The proof of it is in how the ball bounces when it lands: it kicks up and to the right. It is clearly side top spin. Side back spin would bounce lower and die quicker.

Players started snapping their fingers to pop the ball up with a lot of spin before making contact with the ball on their serve, it became too unruly to even get games going and because pickleball is not a sport that revolves around serves, they banned any serve involving any force on the ball that’s not from the paddle when making contact on the serve. Zane Navritil had one of the nastiest spin serves and you can still find videos on that which will show you just how difficult it could be to return the ORIGINAL spin serves.

The problem with "spin" serves is that they are very predictable. As soon as you see the "spin" server set himself up (the paddle position and his posture), you know exactly which direction the ball is going to go and at what speed. Also spin serves are SLOW. Little spins are not going to present any problem at all to a good player; it's not going to fool a player who can counter a spin. Let's see this guy do his spin serves in a real game against a good player. Just cut the crap and prove it that it can work in matches.
