Squash Serving Drills: Sidearm Right Side

Video Transcript

"We've covered if you have watched all the videos so far, we've covered the lob serve, we've done the backhand serve, we've done the overhand serve so now we are going to do the side arm serve and so side arm is obviously in between the overhead and the lob but it is a very important serve because it gives you a different angle and everything you do gives you a different angle. So the sidearm serve is going to be anywhere from here to about here so it allows me to safely put the ball on the side of the wall where my opponent will have a tough time getting a great look at it. The lob serve as we have demonstrated earlier can really make it very tough because the ball comes down at a very steep angle to the opponent. The sidearm serve and the overhead serve don't have that advantage but it is a very effective serve because I can place it where I want for the most part and by using this serve I may not win the point outright on the serve but it is going to give me a good look at the ball coming back so once again the sidearm serve is just like in baseball you will see a sidearm pitcher and we will use the big ball. So the sidearm serve gives you a great look at the ball and it is a good serve and you need to practice it a lot but you can get very very accurate at it and keep your opponent off balance."
