Best Answer

There is no "best" follow-through for a tennis serve, as every person has there own particular style and capabilities. However, generally speaking, the most commonly taught method is to bring the racquet arm down in a full arc striking the ball slightly in front of and to the far side of the racquet arm, with the ball meeting the middle of the racquet's strings when the top of the racquet is as high as the server can reasonably reach, in order to get the most leverage and momentum against the ball. Afterwards, the momentum of the racquet arm may be either down and to the opposite side of the server's body (i.e., to the left if the server is right-handed, or vice-versa), or straight down along the same side of the server's body (i.e., to the right if the server is right-handed). Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, including changes in momentum, speed, and spin, but, again, comfort and style come into play as well.

Basic skills of lawn tennis?

"Lawn tennis" was the name by which tennis was previously known worldwide, as it was always originally seen as a game to be played on grass. Even today, the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world - Wimbledon - remains played on grass. As for skills relative to it: It was generally stated that the most important 3 shots in lawn tennis were: The serve The First volley, and The Return of serve. Due to the fact that it is considered a skimming, "fast surface" ... that the ball stays low, with the occasional bad bounce, it is usually believed that the best style of play on this surface is the typical "serve and volley game". As such, the "basic skills in lawn tennis" are serving and volleying. Because the ball skims through off the grass fast and low, sliced ground stroke shots are also as useful as the top spin - more commonly employed today, and the ball is played low over the net most of the time.
