Which serve is more effective, kickseve or slice?

Question

I've been playing tennis for 3 months now, but I've gotten pretty decent I suppose. My slice serve does not look like a real slice, but when it hits the ground, it does leap away from the opponent. So would it still be considered a slice even though it looks like a normal serve?

I've tried doing a kickserve, but I cannot get it down and it seems hopeless. Any tips?

So in the end, what do you think is more effective? I'm only a sophomore in high school by the way.

Answer 1

to me a kick serve is more effective i put so much kick on it that my coach even has difficulty returning it and he played at the college level.

Answer 2

I think that you must to have bought services in your arsenal and use them according circumstances. I think that slice serve is not so effective but it has a power of surprise when you make a change

Answer 3

which serve is effective is not the most important point, I think the most important point is where you aim, the middle line or the   border line, and then the force enough.

Answer 4

if ur a lefty always do a slice!

Answer 5

kick is more effective on first serve..

slice more effective on second serve
