Here are some helpful tennis tips that will give you some perspective on improving your serve. Remember that different tennis tips are going to help different players in unique ways. The true key is going to lie in your ability to try out different tips and techniques until you find the ones that are going to drive the results that you are looking for.
Serve using a modified twist.
If the full swing twist is too strenuous a serve for you, if it is putting too much strain on your body, primarily your back and stomach muscles, then you can actually modify this swing a little bit while still serving a twist that is effective. What you want to do is dispense all together with the strenuous back arching movement that you used in the full swing. Instead, you should simply toss the ball a bit to the left of where your head is, then sort of reach out and around your head as you are swinging at the ball. You should be bending your hitting arm as you are whisking the strings across the ball in a motion that is forward and slightly upward, and you should only use the amount of vigorous arm movement and wrist movement as is actually comfortable for you to do. You will not get as much spin with this particular movement in comparison to the full twist movement, but you are going to get a sufficient amount of spin that you will have a fairly effective serve on your hands.
Increasing your Serving Margin of Error
We all like to be able to hit serves that are flat, cannonball and spectacular, but here is something to consider: When a player is six feet tall reaches 3 feet above his head to make contact with the ball during a serve, if he hits the ball flat and hard, the ball is going to have to clear the net by no more than a total of six inches in order for it to land within the line of serve. Any ball that clears this line by more than those six inches is going to land outside of the court. What this means is that you have a six inch margin of error, and this is much too little for most players and therefore is better off being avoided in general.
There is a way for you to increase your margin for error with your serve, and all it takes is learning how to spin your serve. If you spin your serve so that it curves and then hooks downward once it crosses the net, then you are going to have a much, much larger margin of safety by which to operate, getting a lot more serves in as a result.
