A great variation to your normal serve is to hit the ball into your opponent’s body. The aim is to catch them by surprise and give them no room to swing, which can lead to a loose return.

Aim the ball into their body to hit the back wall around the nick. Often if you miss the nick the ball will end up near the sidewall causing problems for your opponent.

Where you aim on the front wall depends on server and receiver positions but generally you need to aim less far across on the wall. You will need to practice this serve in order to find the correct angle and pace of shot.

Use it sparingly for maximum effect. If your opponent anticipates it you could be in trouble!
