The slice serve is a deadly (and more advanced) serve that is perfect for stopping the ball or making it change direction once it hits your opponent's service box. You can bend both of your knees but focus on having most of your weight in your back leg so you can use it to spring forward when you make contact. As you release the ball you're tossing, load your back knee by forcing most of your weight onto your back leg.Though this will make it easier to hit the ball, in some ways, you will generate much less power and momentum this way. You will see that some beginners like to lift the racket up behind their back before they toss the ball.Practice the toss along with this motion as much as you want before actually hitting the ball (just not during a game, or you will try your opponent's patience.). Once you get good at it, you'll have this down as one fluid motion - tossing the ball up with one hand while 'scratching your back' with your racket with the other.Bend your knees to help project the racquet head upwards it will give the ball more power. Not you! For optimal success, you should bring the racquet head up above behind you and bend your elbow so as to drop it behind your head, as if you were to scratch your back with the side of your racket. Most beginners just kind of raise their racket in the air slightly behind them and then go after the ball. After you release the ball with your hand, you can keep it up or above you for guidance and stability.In order to have the highest chance of hitting the ball you need to throw it straight up, or slightly toward the net without spin. The ball should be just a bit higher than you can reach with your racquet.Imagine you're placing the ball up on a shelf. When tossing, remember that you are not throwing the ball you should just let go of the ball when it is at the top. This can be done slowly and deliberately. At the same time, begin to toss the ball slightly in front of you toward the court.Drop your racquet head downward while shifting your weight back and bring your racquet behind you in an arc-like motion.Before you toss the ball, bring the ball to the flat racket face in front of you.You can also practice your toss several times to find the optimal serving point a great toss can be the key to an amazing serve, and a bad toss will ruin a serve more often than not. You should toss the ball high up in the air, a little bit in front of you, so you have momentum when you serve the ball remember that you can 'fall in' to the court after you make contact with the ball, so it's okay to toss the ball in front of you.

Toss the ball and bring your racket behind you. If you're a lefty - which happens to be a huge advantage in the game of tennis - just use the opposite hands and feet. These instructions for serving are for right-handed players.If your ball hits the net and drops into the service box, that is considered a let and you can replay the serve you can have an unlimited amount of lets, though this does not happen very often. If you miss both times, that is considered a double fault and you should move to serve to the other service box. You get two chances to serve the ball into the opposite service box.Your right shoulder should always be pointed in the direction of the service box where you are serving.If you're serving toward your opponent's left service box, then you should be standing on the left side (add side) of your court.If you're serving toward your opponent's right service box, you should be standing on the right side (deuce side) of your court.For doubles, stand farther toward one side, depending on what type of serve you plan to execute and the strategy you and your partner have planned. For singles, stand close to the center mark. You should stand sideways, pointing your left foot to the opposite post of the net, with your right foot being parallel to the court. Before you begin to serve the ball, you have to stand behind the baseline, on the side opposite the service box where you'll be serving.
