In pickleball, a serve is the first shot of a point. It is hit from behind the baseline and must clear the net and land in the opposite service court. The best pickleball serves are those that are difficult for the opponent to return and that give the server an advantage in the point.
There are many different types of pickleball serves, but the most common are the forehand and backhand serves. Forehand serves are hit with the palm facing forward, while backhand serves are hit with the palm facing backward. Both types of serves can be hit with topspin, backspin, or slice. The type of spin that is used will depend on the server’s preference and the situation.
