My favorite serve (as far as reliability) is by far… the slice/side-spin. Period!

The slice, especially used on the second serve, allows you to keep the ball low (cannot be attacked by the returner), consistent (due to the spin that slows down the ball in the air), and makes it hard to be returned at your feet if you decide to move up to the net behind it.

These are just some of the benefits of the slice serve without counting the easiness to learn and execute it.

You should try, learn or improve it too. Therefore, I have created a video lessons program showing you some progression drills that you can apply to learn or improve your slice serve.

Whether you are a beginning or intermediate player, these video drills will teach you the essential elements for hitting a reliable slice serve in a very short time:
