Advanced Serving Techniques

At an advanced level, players learn to master different types of serves including the flat serve, slice serve, and kick serve. Emphasis is placed on developing a powerful, accurate, and consistent serve that can be used as a weapon to win points outright or set up an advantageous position in rallies.

groundstrokes

Advanced players focus on perfecting their forehand and backhand groundstrokes. This includes honing topspin, slice, and flat shots, as well as improving control, power, and placement. Players are taught to adapt their strokes to different surfaces and opponents.
