Being able to execute a good half-long serve is an important skill when looking at improving and having a more effective serving game. Many professional players use this type of serve a lot to create doubt in the opponent’s mind and force them into a decision.

Dan and Tom break down how to master this type of serve and look at the areas you need to get right in order to have a half long serve which players will struggle to read.
