Who is the course for?

Everyone, because as several of the legends on the homepage said, “There is no excuse for not having a great serve.”  It is the only time you are completely in control.  You get to start the point the way you want, so let’s do that and help you.  If this helps, please consider sharing it with others to lift them up too.  Watch in order if you wish, as we will discuss both side spin and top spin, so we meet everyone in their serve journey no matter where you are.  Knowing and reviewing the basics is essential even for top players.  It never hurts as it can remind you of useful ideas to employ against different opponents.  Get going and learn how to use spin to win.
