Hit a Good Serve

When it's your turn to serve, you have the ideal situation. You are not rushed, you can begin the point where you like (within limits), and you can place the ball exactly where you want to hit it.

To learn a lot about serving strategy and the best way to hit a hard (drive) serve, see these serve tips from coach Carl Moody of William and Mary.

To visualize the drive serve after reading about it, take a look at YouTube's recordings of the drive serve to the backhand and the drive serve to the forehand. For more visuals of serves, watch all of YouTube's "racquetball serve" video clips. You'll see amazing consistency of technique shared by all the best servers.

Read about serving, watch some serves, then try it yourself on court, and you'll be hitting great serves in no time!
