5 serving tips

Tip of the day

Enhance Pickleball breaks down five powerful serves that can help players gain an advantage in rec play.

The serves range from low-risk, consistent options to high-risk, aggressive serves that can even result in aces.

The first serve, the forehand jam, targets the opponent’s body, making it difficult for them to return comfortably.

The second, the high spinny serve, uses topspin and extra height to create an unpredictable bounce.

The third and fourth serves focus on targeting the sidelines or middle of the court, depending on where the opponent is standing.

The final and riskiest serve is the short angle serve, which aims to pull the opponent off the court with extreme spin and precision.

Throughout the video, the host provides tips on technique, risk management, and spin control to help players make these serves more effective.

Key points

  • The forehand jam serve forces opponents into awkward returns by aiming at their body.

  • The high spinny serve uses extra topspin and height to create a tricky bounce.

  • The hard out-wide serve stretches opponents by targeting the sidelines.

  • The laser beam down the middle takes advantage of opponents who position themselves too far wide.

  • The short angle serve is the riskiest but can force an outright ace if executed properly.
