Tennis players learn several different serves as they are learning the game. There is the hard, flat serve that usually goes down the middle of the court. There is the spinning slice serve that usually kicks out wide by the time it gets to the returner. There is also a topspin, or kick serve that bounces high at the returner. Players often have a favorite but learn to use them all to gain an advantage over their opponent.

The three most popular are kick/topspin, slice, and flat serve. Kick/topspin serves make the ball kick high and/or fast and may appear to be out when at the last second they drop in. Slice serves make the ball curve to the left or right, depending on the hand they use and the direction their racket moves. flat serves have generally a true bounce, but may have a slight curve due to the pronation used when serving with a continental grip. They are usually the server's fastest/hardest serve.
