Many players experience a trouble in getting their serve over the net. If you are one amongst those people, this article is going to be helpful for you.
This tip is called “The Limbo”. First we will look into the most common cause which prevents the ball from crossing the net. Some beginners get over conscious while serving, they do as they are told, and when they take things too literally they do mistakes. Improper leaning is the most common mistake. Players sink in their abdomen and protrude their lower body, more than necessary, on the outside. This habit hinders them from making a spontaneous action which is needed to lift the height of the serve.
