Question

When you serve do you use your palm or the lower level of your hand?

Answer 1

palm

Answer 2

I try to serve with my palm cuz when u serve with the lower part of ur hand the ball tends to go up rather than down. when u serve with ur palm, u can bend ur fingers a little bit and make it go down. it seems better to serve with ur palm so i do.

Answer 3

palm.you get better control over your serve.

Answer 4

For a "float serve" or one with little or no spin so the ball appears to float or move like a knuckle ball in baseball, use the bottom of the hand to minimize spin. For a jump serve or just a standing topspin serve, use the palm and snap the wrist downward  to create top spin, so the ball curves downward.

Answer 5

I use my palm sometimes, but other times i use the top part of my palm, like right below my fingers, that gives the serve top spin and is more difficult to return.

Answer 6

you suppose to hit the ball in the palm of your hand thats where all your power is in your hand and plus it gives you better control over the ball and if hitting correctly you can serve a straight ace

Answer 7

use the palm of your hand. using your wrist doesn't give you enough power, and using the tips of your fingers will only make the ball go ten feet. however, keep your wrist straight when you serve, so the ball will knuckle when you hit it.
