Tip of the Month

If you look at most of the top players, they all have topspin second serves. In order to do a topspin second serve you first need to have a continental grip. Then your ball toss should be behind you and slightly to the left. Then as the ball is dropping you need to brush up the back of the ball from the 7’0 clock position to the 1’0 clock position. Don’t hold back, accelerate that racquet head!
