What is the best serve and grip for the fastest tennis serve??

Question

I'm trying new serves and grips to improve my tennis game. Please comment.

Answer 1

hey, i play tennis too. well like t-minus said the most common one is like the smae hting as your volleying. when you punch down on a volley, you are doing that for a serve. the serve wont work until you learn to get the toss high up above you. expecially if you are tall. me, i use the simple volley or maybe a slice. try whatever works best for you. the more styles you have, the better the player you can become

Answer 2

my coach says to use continental grip. it works for all the varsity players he taught except me. :(

Answer 3

To hit a fast flat serve use the same grip you volley with. Basically you have to hold the raquet as if it were a hammer, and you would be using the edge of the frame to drive the nail.

That's how the pros do it

Answer 4

use  a continental grip and try to hit a flat serve but use pronation that will give you way more power on your serve , pronation practically is moving your wrist in the last second of your serve check out pete sampras on youtube they can explain more in detail what pronation is but belive me only fast and so isnt the best thing to do all the time, theres slice, kick serve they are very hard to return when done right and if its returned its mostly just an easy winner when it gets back this are just an example tell your coach to show you some of this serves

Answer 5

Try a continential grip and use a slice serve.
