2nd Serve - Maintaining Racket Head Speed

One of the biggest problems we create with our 2nd serve is if we slow the racket down just prior to contact.

For some of us, it's instinctive to slow the racket down to make sure we at least get the 2nd serve in play. It's a push...

A slower racket head through the ball takes away the possibility for quality spin.

With your 2nd serve, you've got two obvious basic challenges. Getting the ball safely up and over the net and then back down inside the service line.

If you have low to no spin, once you get your 2nd over the net, you're then relying totally on gravity to drop your serve into the service box.

That becomes a major opportunity for your opponent.

The key is to maintain, even accelerate, your racket head through the ball to produce a high quality spin that solves both of those challenges.

The spin you produce by hitting up actually curves the ball back down inside the service box...
