- I'm sharing my top 5 secrets/tips to master your pickleball spin serve in 2022! This is a serve I invented and made a video on which you can find a link to below. It'll be interesting to see how pros like Zane Navratil and Ben Johns adapt to the newest rule changes that made the chainsaw serve illegal. I think we will see a lot of pros working on their one-handed spin serves like mine and Morgan Evans.

Should my finger flick serve be allowed? Should it be banned like the chainsaw serve? Let me know what you think!
It should definitely be kept. Sometimes I won't do it because some people can't handle it when we are playing for fun. But it is funny because I have to back off yet my opponent is going as hard as they can.
@@datta85 It feels good to have it in my back pocket if I need it, but I definitely feel bad using it sometimes!
I think it should stay, bring on the more skill/ athletic point of view into the game.. let the paramedics sort em out
Most tennis players have a 'special' serve - this serve is no different. Use it all the time and people will start to track it - it's not for constant use. It's like a pitcher throwing a knuckleball. Keep it - it's fun!
Great video Shea. I could probably write a book on this one question haha but I'll try to keep it simple. I flip-flop. I think any skill you can develop to give you an advantage over your opponent should be allowed, but then I think In the short game of pickleball it's an unfair advantage and takes the fun out of the game. So I lean towards banning both the chainsaw and the one-handed spin serve. We want to keep the audience interested in the game itself and continue to grow the sport right? However, like tennis and especially ping pong, you can see some crazy serves! So idfk
You are so generous to share what you have learned. Thank you!
Super easy to follow! I look forward to trying out these new ways to master the Shea serve!
I love this serve. It adds an extra element to the game! Keep it in the rules.
I was really surprised how well this worked on the court. There’s a bit of a learning curve trying to stay consistent, but after a week, I was able to get 10 in a row where I wanted them. It was super polarizing in rec play. Some people were impressed and asked for a demonstration, while others weren’t so impressed and kicked me off the beginner courts. I’m under 3.0 and a little overweight. The challenge courts in my area are 3.5, but after a tall opponent stepped the wrong way and caught the skip right between the legs, he became quite heated. Thanks for sharing this technique it has helped to win more points. That, in turn, has taught me the empowerment of actually visualizing and taking the win.
Love the serve shea! and these little tip are great to talking your game to the next level! keep up the great work and your road to pro
Appreciate all the help my man!
Hey Shea...Tommy here from Hiawassee......I had the pleasure of looking very silly by your serve. I could not hit the dam thing. You had me laughing soooo hard at myself. I always tell new players how humbling, but fun, the sport of Pickelball can be. I started playing because it rekindled my competitive juices. After realizing my old bad knee and my old bad lower back wouldn't let me play Basketball anymore. I decided to give Pickleball a try. I was hooked the first time I played. It opened a fun new chapter in my old and not so athletic world. It's been fun watching you grow in this sport and now you adding your amazing serve just makes the sport that much sweeter. You are a true Pro in my world......Peace, Love, & Pickleball to you my friend !!!
Dude Tommy!!! I appreciate that man! You've ben a big part of my journey whether you realize it or not. You and I have spent a lot of hours on the courts together early on.
Keep it!! That court though wow!!! Great video keep them coming!!
Amazing video Shea!! Love it
Love your content! Super high quality! I’ve been mastering this serve since the moment you released that last video!
Appreciate the support Landon! Do you play in Colorado?
@@sheaunderwood Yes I do! You aren't from around here are you??
Shea, I'm glad you're calling it the "flick" serve!
The Shea Serve is sick! 🔥 Everyone should be using this in 2022 💪
Thanks Shea! Heading out to practice right now!
Awesome Will! Go crush it 💪
Another masterful video! I'm slowly gaining more confidence to start using this in some games.
I wanna see it Stephen!
Firstly, thank you Shea for putting the initial video up! As soon as I heard rumors of the chainsaw getting nuked, I went out and about looking for a good one-handed spin serve; where it's helped me get a lot of either: Free Points, or Free Set Ups for 3rd to 5th Shot Finishers in Singles Play.
As for the serve getting banned, I think they'll ban the use of Bandaids and Athletic Tape, etc sometime during the year of 2022 (if not already being released in the 2022 handbook coming soon), or when 2023 rolls around; primarily because if the use of those is to grip the ball better for more RPM, it can be seen as a liability to the overall game. They MAY allow use of Bandaids during the game if you blister up and the finger starts bleeding, but that's a rare scenario if it happens at all.
The serve itself, I don't think will get banned. Primarily because you won't be able to hide it, and the tells of the serve are pretty easy to nail down even at a lower level once people get the gist of it. I had a Tournament this past Friday, my partner and I were going against a lower end 4.0 Team (we're approx a Mid 4.0 Mixed Doubles Team together), and after receiving a couple of those serves, the Female Player (Mixed Doubles Tourney) managed to get a better feel for the direction of the spin than who I'm assuming would be her husband. However, getting a feel for the Tells of the Spin does not equate to knowing how hard it will kick to which side. I believe that's what kinda helped my partner and I smooth over that match in specific.
In a recent Singles Tournament where I got 2nd Place, one person I played against during the ladder season before the final tournament between the Top 8 players had already beaten me twice. Once due to me still getting used to how he played, the 2nd time due to just recently picking up the OHSS (Acronym for One-Handed Spin Serve) but not having enough kick to do damage. Third time around, we played and I managed to beat him 15-9 in the Consolation Bracket after getting the serve almost downpat (now I started practicing that one little change in the starting position for the hand/fingers for the serve, I get so more RPM now compared to a few weeks ago lol). Most of those points came from the serve setting up a weak return to send in a plethora of 3rd to 5th Shot Finishers. So yeah, I love it. He adapted very well to serves afterwards, but not enough to give too much trouble :sweat_smile:
Excellent thoughts Kerubin! It already seems likely that Bandaids and tape will not be allowed this coming year. While this serve is great, there are a lot of tells! Athletes adjust right?
My fingers were already bleeding after 2 hours of practice.
@@trae6593 I feel bad for your fingers then man, my condolences 🙏 May they repair the skin and make it even rougher & tougher than before :D
Great tips, appreciate the breakdown!
You're welcome!
Thank you Shea! I just saw another pickleball channel release a tutorial video this morning of the serve and they called it, “The Shea Serve.” I hope that name sticks!
Haha I didn't feel right naming it after myself. We'll see what happens. Thanks for the comments as always Ben!
Love the vid! The intro got me so hype! Keep up the great work. Would love to hear your thoughts on non-spin serves for situations that call for them or other unique serves to diversify someone’s serve roster (if that’s a thing haha).
Variation in serves provides a competitive advantage. You are already putting mental pressure on your opponent by having them trying to guess what the serve is going to do rather than thinking about exactly where they are going to place the return and getting to the NVZ.
I’m glad you liked the intro bro! That’s a great idea, maybe a topic for 2023 haha
Practiced this for about a month and started brining it out in competitive play. So much fun!
I honestly think it’s much harder to read than the chainsaw because there are so many different variations to the serve from different body positions.
Yeah, chainsaw is much harder to read especially since you can use both your hands to cover the ball.
@@sheaunderwood oh. I was thinking the one finger flick is harder to read. I probably haven’t played against someone with as good of a chainsaw then 😅
The serve is great and adds a dimension of skill to the game. Some people are concerned that it makes the serve a weapon and in competitive play against similar level players, I think its fine. When I play with lower level players I never use the serve so it is fun for them, just like I don’t crush them with power or body shots. If I am playing against fellow competitive players or in a tourney it is very appropriate to use. If you have the skill and ability to make the shot use it. Just like dinking and drop shot is a skill or over powering an opponent’s reaction time. Good players can handle the serve and will adjust and learn to read the spins. I do agree that the visibility of the hand should be preserved and no foreign substance should enhance the spin. In recreational play use common sense and ethics to guide play, in competitive play let evolution occur and new exciting skills develop.
Definitely use some discretion here! Sometimes it’s not worth using it.
Another great video, Shea. Well done!
Greg, my man! Appreciate you dude. You know I still don't think we've played each other yet.
@@sheaunderwood We need to get on the court together. Just promise me you won't cause me any lasting injuries chasing that serve around. :)
Pretty cool! Thanks!
Sure thing Homie!
Oooooh it’s my intro song by ooyy! My man you have the best tips and taste in music!
My man! His stuff is too good. I license my music through epidemic sound and he has so many bangers on there.
@@sheaunderwood same bro! I’ve even got into pumpin him on Spotify during my workouts
great video well done!!!
Cindy you are awesome! Thanks :)
I have so much fun with the chainsaw serve right now and I am sure this one will be the same once I can master it. If this serve becomes as well adapted as the chainsaw serve did and is as hard to return next year I don't see why it would not also be banned the following year. While I love using these kind of serves I am in the "They should be banned" camp. I think pickleball is a better game when it remains "less winners off of serves". Really good video though. I love how you included the bandaid trick and switching paddle hands.
Thanks Rob! Definitely still a lot to learn with this serve and others like it. So much room for innovation in the game right now, I'm glad we're on the front end of it.
I am not happy to see so many not wanting innovation in the sport. Is Morgan Evans the best player because of his serve? No. Does it help him a lot? Yes. It is only one aspect of the game and people need to learn to adjust and adapt and what will be exciting is watching these serves get returned. Banning it sounds silly to me.
Fantastic video! Seems to me that allowing deliberate spin on the ball prior to the service contact with the paddle will make the game of pickleball a battle of serves. A good spin server will be able to win games without having to master other skills. Is that what we want? The serve should not be a weapon. Otherwise, the team that loses the rally should get the serve.
Also, I like the fact that you have read the whole rule change not just the part about the non-paddle hand. The rule does not say that the release cannot be "hidden" like in table tennis, instead, it states that the release must be visible. The definition of visible is "able to be perceived or noticed easily". The definition of perceived is "to understand". Therefore, because the release of the ball by spinning the fingers makes it difficult to perceive the release, one could call for a replay every time a spin server is executed. There could be a lot of arguments regarding this latter issue as "visible" is subjective and ambiguous.
Your thoughts?
I have a feeling there will be a lot of people complaining about not being able to see the spin early on next year. For what it is worth, I used this serve against some pros recently and they really didn't have much trouble with it. As of right now the spin serve is a weapon but it's not as over-powered in higher levels as people think.
Love it!
Me too!
Great video
Appreciate that!
Thanks so much for this tutorial! Wow, where did you film this?!?! 👀👀👀
You're welcome! We filmed on a private court at the house of a friend.
Great explanation Shea!! I have a variation where i use my thumb and middle finger as if I’m snapping my fingers. You ever tried that by any chance? I tried your way but can’t get it consistent.
Yeah that’s how a lot of people do it! I just couldn’t get it to spin as fast. Everyone’s different 🤷🏻♂️
I don't have an opinion on whether this serve should remain legal, BUT I'm going to start working on it tomorrow! Thanks for the detailed info and excellent camera work that shows the grip. For pickleballs with seams, does it matter where the seam is when you grip the ball? For example, if you grip it with the seam in a vertical orientation, will it get a different bounce action than a horizontal orientation, or is it completely irrelevant?
I haven’t dove into that to be honest. Something to think about!
Shea thanks a ton I have watched the videos more than I would like to admit I got your serve down pretty good and am always giving you credit. Question for you have you stopped spinning the ball both was and just spinning it with your middle finger up?
Thanks Thurmond! I appreciate you being apart of the community 👊 I still spin it both ways, I’m much more effective with the forward spin so I rely on it more.
@Shea Underwood - Pickleball Road to Pro I like to go oth eas keep them guys I always left elbowb up makes it hard for then to read
The draft rule book published today says “No foreign substances, material, apparatus, or additional body parts can be applied to the hand or aid the hand that releases the pickleball.” This would mean applying a bandaid might not be legal. It seems like these rules are going to continue to try to close little loop holes, when they should simply move to an open palm serve and be done with it. A very literal reading of this would indicate that I’m not allowed to put a Band-Aid on my non-paddle hand, even if I have a wound there.
Great video, keep them coming. I think the rules state you cannot use the paddle hand to serve.
Thanks! I confirmed with Mark Peifer and Don Stanley that you can use your paddle hand to serve. Here's the current verbiage. Note: bandaid won't be legal... 'The Volley Serve. The server shall use only one hand to perform the serve. No foreign substances, material, apparatus, or additional body parts can be applied to the hand or aid the hand that releases the pickleball. The server’s release of the ball must be visible to the referee and the receiver. In matches without a referee, the server’s release of the ball must be visible to the receiver. A replay shall be called before the return of serve if the release of the ball is not visible.'
is the serve at 3:40 illegal? both of his feet disconnected from the court
Thanks and it should be allowed come the rule changes in 2023 onwards. All games evolve, but sadly, some don't want to evolve with it and only want to play their games. Bring on the spin.
I love the evolution and raising the skill ceiling!
Well said!!!
I don’t have enough dexterity in my pointer and middle fingers together. Do you think its possible to get similar revolutions using thumb and pointer finger?
Yeah totally. A lot of people use the thumb and middle finger to snap the ball.
Will your next video be on the most tackiest bandaid?
I've been working on this and can get a pretty good kick to the right, very effective. I have not been able to get the kick to the left though. Doesn't make a lot of sense, the flick is the same but maybe I'm hitting it differently.
It’s all dependent on your initial toss, make sure you’re perfectly parallel to the baseline at the time of release and not turning too early
@@sheaunderwood Appreciate the response, will keep at it
I would prefer the weight near the bottom of the paddle
According to the new rules not sure u can use a bandaid to help spin...it says "no fabric or materials" on hand that touches ball. What do you think?
Yeah, I figured they would outlaw that. Do you have a link to the confirmed new rules for 2022?
Great video. Huge fan of the Shea serve. I like facing forward so it adds a ton of top spin. And facing forward is the easiest to get your footwork correct. I rarely get a service winner but even good player hit back popups that are easier to attach with the third shot. And I think it will be banned in 2023.
Gonna be sad to see it go :(
@@sheaunderwood I agree. It's a fun serve and I like to use the right spin with a right slice serve from my left side serve against teams that stack. on the return. (Hopefully this is not as confusing as it sounds) . It really puts them in an odd position. .
I practice this for few hours yesterday and was getting insane rpms but today I can barely move my index finger, so sore. Think I sprained it from overused. Can’t do it at all today. Hopefully this soreness goes away over time.
Yeah Trae, it’s tough on the fingers for sure. How are you feeling with it today?
It’s still sore, think I’m gonna have to let it heal few weeks before getting back to it. I can’t generate nearly as much rpm with it being sore. If that index finger is weak, it doesn’t work for front spin. Can’t do the tight snap the generates the rpm.
The Shea serve should stay. I love the added dimension of skill and strategy it brings. I personally only use it against players I know want more competitive play and tournaments.
Some people genuinely like trying to return it. To each their own I guess haha.
I thought I saw that any spin made on the ball before touching the paddle was illegal. Where can the rules for next year be found?
rules.usapickleball.org/ Here are the rule change suggestions. The full list of rules will be released sometime in December most likely.
First, thank you for the tutorials Shea! And second- when I play more competitive people, we play competitively. If you’re playing less experienced people, we don’t use spin serves. Dominating an opponent with serves isn’t fun for anyone. I get that people are competitive, and you want to “practice” how you play. But if simply getting rid of the spin makes it easier for my opponent to return the serve and keep the game flowing, I’ll keep the serve basic. 🤷🏽♀️
4:49 This pretty much sums up exactly how I feel! It really can take the fun out of the game for people who are just trying to chill and hit some balls around in the backyard.
It’s the change in momentum that causes slower balls to kick more
🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏽
Spin Serve (4.A.5) Manipulating the ball to add spin during the release of the ball is not allowed. Some natural rotation of the ball when it is released is allowable but the server must not impart manipulation or spin prior to striking the ball to serve. This applies to the volley serve and the drop serve. -- 2023 rules
I played a older couple and the husband loved the challenge of returning the serve and it added to his fun. His wife didn't like the added challenge and it annoyed her a lot. It's just a matter of perspectives.
That's a great point! The people who dislike it are just louder. Thanks for the awesome comment!
The 1 dislike is from the wife
I had someone tell me tonight that this serve is also going to be banned january first of 2022? They said it was a recent addition. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
Pure speculation. We will see in January but the current rule change verbiage states that you can spin the ball using one hand only.
non dominant hand is illegal now. Great video
Is this serve still legal, I don’t see one pro use it in tournaments?
It’s legal unless you’re a pro playing on the PPA tour. Completely legal in APP tournament and amateur PPA divisions
As an Aussie who has played a lot of cricket, I find it amusing that this is the way that Americans are now taking notice!! What you are doing is call "off spin" or "finger spin", but you can also do "leg spin" or "wrist spin". Cricket bowlers who bowl leg spin get more spin and more variation on the ball. A leg spin bowler can spin the ball in both direction by altering their wrist position. The issue with what you are doing with your body is that it clearly telegraphs which direction the ball is going to spin. But perfecting both off spin and leg spin, means you can spin the ball both ways from the same stance.
Thanks for the info! I actually can spin the ball both directions from the same body position by switching my middle and index fingers 👍
2:22 Topsin... I need someone to volunteer to proofread my videos from now on 😂
Toe spin
Is this serve legal now. As I am reading the Rule changes for 2023 the "One handed spin serve is no legal"
If you do this and the ball is not hit due to a bad toss, you must declare a fault.
Therefore, the pickleball toss should be stipulated to be done only once.
I really like the band-aid trick my finger always hurts when trying this
You can’t use it in competitive play most likely. But it is great to learn with!
@@sheaunderwood makes sense but great for progression
As a rec player I always thought it was a great part of the game that the serve was only to get the ball in play.
I am conflicted on this. On the one hand I love this innovation and the game needs to continue evolving. On the other hand, winning on serves alone would make it like tennis, with short rallies. I think they should allow a 6 month period to see the impact on the game
The rules can be changed yearly in committee so giving it another year will give a lot of useful info on how it changes the game.
By the end of 2022 it will be too late because a few players will already have torn their ACL. there is no reason to learn this serve if your game is good enough.
I think people are giving spin serves too much credit as if they are in returnable for advanced players. Sports innovate and one simply needs learn how best to return and read them. And, people will get better at returning them as we go.
If you're going to teach this awesome serve it's only fair that you'll be putting up a video on how to return it.
Coming soon👀
One thing that I've done is instead of hitting it with a fore hand, I hit back hand with a big slicing side spin. It works extremely well if you have thrown it with a left spinning ball (for a right handed player). Great serve!
This is correct I was hitting monster serves just now after a late night practice session. I can't wait to drop this on my buddies.
I've never had a backhand serve but I'll definitely try it. That's an awesome idea Jeffrey, thanks!
@@sheaunderwood Let me know what you think!
@@datta85 I always get more spin on any backhand shot than forehand.
I genuinely hate that these spin toss serves will be allowed next year, and I hope the rules committee outlaws them for 2023. That said, I have seen how effective these serves are and I will practice and use them for competitive play.
That’s a great attitude to have. Thanks for sharing 🙏
I would also like to add to the discussion how the ball spin prior to the service contact with the paddle might affect the growth of pickleball. If this technique becomes the norm, it will be very difficult for beginners to return the serve. The serve would discourage beginners from take up the game of pickleball. Why would they put themselves through such frustration and embarrassment. Pickleball is popular and growing because it is designed so that anyone can quickly learn and enjoy the game. This serve would make it difficult not only for beginners but also those who currently play and are not as naturally talented as the professionals. If this serve becomes the norm and most people adopt the spin technique, an alternate pickleball organization can be established separate from US Pickleball organization that follows the lead of table tennis when it comes to the serve. This alternate organization would probably overtake the current US Pickleball organization. Another path would be for IFP to separate from US Pickleball and disallow the spin before the beginning of the serve.
The future of pickleball might be at stake with this issue.
But Alan… beginners should be playing with other beginners who don’t know these spin serves. By the time one is learning these they are at minimum intermediate to advanced. So, I see no issue with it as a barrier to entry for beginners. All I see is excitement and next level play for advanced and professionals.
I really wish all spins would’ve been banned for the serves… but for now: thanks, I’m gonna start practicing! 😉
If you don't mind me saying... I guess is good to use it in competitive games just like it was mentioned in the video, if you're playing with lower levels is just like taking advantage. Just a thought, I believe creativity is unstoppable 👍
Might as well practice while it's here right?
Heck why don’t we just use the over head serve like tennis that would surely make things more interesting. And while we’re at it just eliminate the NVZ
I think a year from now the only legal serve will end up being the drop serve
I think that’s the direction we’re heading too. And it makes sense!
I agree. the drop serve takes all the guess work out of determining which servers are legal and which ones are not.
I literally called out to my partner which way the ball was going to bounce. I will yell it out right before I return the spin serve too. I don’t use it. I hope it gets banned.
Guess could wear a golf glove? Propelling the ball upward is legal?
Where's my shout-out holmes?
Yes! The band-aid genius had arrived! Turns out that’s probably gonna be banned 😔 but it’s still great to practice with. Appreciate all your comments homie 🙏
Thought it had to be dropped only and not thrown up at all.
Where is everyone getting this information from? That’s just not true… :(
On a “drop serve” you have to drop the ball… but if the ball doesn’t bounce then it’s completely legal to toss the ball up however you’d like.
@@sheaunderwood It's in the rules you can not throw ball up at all. you can drop it from as high as you can reach but can not have a upward toss on the ball. Watch national gold medal matches never seen one of thr pros do this!!!!
@@sheaunderwood 4.A.8.b
New: Before bouncing on the ground, the ball shall not be propelled (thrown)
downward or tossed or hit upward with the paddle
@@gregtripp8025 You’re looking at the bounce serve. This is a volley serve. Watch my latest video for more clarification.
@@gregtripp8025 The number 1 player in the world Ben Johns literally does a variation of this serve every single time lol.
You know, it's a cool tool, but most old hacks like me would rather see a great rally than to watch service winners that make some people look like idiots. Just my opinion, enjoy your stuff
That's a valid perspective that a lot of people share Joe! Thanks for the support.
I don’t think you can toss the ball with the paddle hand.
Why on earth should it be banned? It's not hard for even rec players to work it out.
If they have banned the chainsaw serve, it's just a matter of time until some people complain about the one hand spin serve.
People will get innovative with these where it would catch the eye of the Pickleball committee, hence another revision to the rule will take place to nuke the one hand spin serve as well.
Rob Cassidy probably already writing up a new ban on spin of any kind so we all will have to use pingpong grip like he does
It should not be allowed to manipulate the ball with anything but the paddle.
Thanks Peter!
This is not a drop serve and therefore illegal He propels ball upward not a drop>
This is a totally legal serve. I’m free to toss the ball up however I’d like since the ball doesn’t hit the ground before I make contact :)
I think that imparting any spin on the toss should be outlawed. It’s makes a mockery of the game and will not benefit the game of pickleball and it’s popularity.
Definitely changes the game. That's for sure. Thanks for the comment!
dinking and boring third shot drop after drop make a mockery of fun for me
I actually like adding spin to the serve. It makes it fun if you are playing with people of the same skill set or better as they don't know what to expect and your serve is one of the few things that can keep them guessing. If they outlawed the spin serve, they would also have to do the same with the groundstrokes which would make the game very boring.
Wasn't allowed under the original rules, so it shouldn't be allowed.
Banned! It is the only shot in the game that depends not on racquet but on finger spin. Furthermore, it can totally take two opponents who are virtually equal in ability and becaus4e one uses finger flicks, turn the game into a lopsided game. If this were a player with a dominant forehand or backhand or superb dropshot, that is part of the game. This is NOT.
Why have you decided that a good serve that is hard to return isn’t a part of the game? There won’t be blow outs like some think here. If 2 opponents are equal and 1 has a good spin serve, than that guy might win. But, nobody is blowing out Ben Johns w any type of serve. It’s a part of the game. Adapt and have fun learning how to do and return the serves. Who says it’s less important than other shots. Tennis is exciting even with some aces now and again.
I have been playing pickleball recently, and the pickleball serving rule is a complete mess as the sport is still in its infancy. In terms of serving, your service will likely be illegal because you are manipulating the structural integrity of the ball before the serve. Pickleball should and will be adopting the rule that table tennis players follow. How do you serve the ball in ping pong? Hold the ball in your open palm behind the end of the table. Toss at least 6” straight up and strike it on the way down.
Tell me about it
Band aid illegal 2022
Yeah
This is cheating via a loophole/bizarre rule (how is chainsaw not ok, but this is. You can't 'see' the spin coming, because he could easily swap fingers and spin the other way). This is a paddle sport. Spinning the ball with your hand is BS. This is not a knock on Shea, he didn't make the rule.
It's probably going away soon. Gotta educate while it's here right?
Ban this. Pickleball is designed to encourage fun rallies and ball placement. The kitchen essentially eliminates the poaching and crushing volleys that make tennis less fun at competitive levels. The toss should be “flat,” with no spin. Period. Spin should come only from the racket.
Illegal for 2023.
Needs to be banned, I’m at the point that it’s just stupid what I can do to people even competitive players, sure it’s fun watching them miss but after a while it takes the fun right out of it.
Your background music makes your video unlistenable. Age people age they have trouble processing multiple tracks, meaning I cannot understand what you’re saying with that noise in the background. Rather like someone yelling in one ear while you’re trying to listen with the other. We cannot easily separate those two signals while you younger guys are unbothered by it but cannot understand what I am saying. Trust me, ditch all background sounds and you’ll get more older folks watching and besides the younger ones won’t miss it. Thanks. Video producers think these sounds are cool but they’re horrific to us.
Glad that kind of shitty serve not legal anymore
Your serve is gone to effective this year.
Looks like it will be banned in 2023.
