squashgodfathers tips about serves

The serve is not just the way to start a match, it is the first step in winning the point and the match.
As is shown in men's tennis, with the top players having super fast serves in order to win the point. In squash a good accurate serve can do 3 things;
1. it can be an outright winner.
2. it can allow you to predict where and what shot your opponent is going to play, which allows you to be in a position to hit a winning 2nd shot.
3.it is to tight to allow your opponent to hit a good length return, thus putting you in control of the rally.

So dont just use the serve as a means to start play. use it as part of your winning strategy.

I will talk about the various types of serves in a later post.
