An interesting take home from these clips is that the serve is still highly undervalued by the best in the world! In previous blog posts, the IMPORTANCE of the serve is highlighted for both AMATUER and PROFESSIONAL players. As demonstrated in the Squash TV highlights, the serve can either lose or help gain control of a rally, even at the professional level. If this is occurring at a professional level, imagine the IMPACT a good serve would have at an AMATUER level! If you would like to learn the STRATEGIES and TACTICS that would take your serve to the next level, BOOK a spot in our Serve and Return Clinics! Next up is the Hong Kong Open. Keep an eye out for the impact of the serve. Comment below on how many free points are given away!
