Hi

I am in first season World Tour, difficulty Pro-5, starting rank 1000. Have played a few futures, but have never done much, mainly due to a complete inability to serve.

When first serve goes in, it's fine, and I'm getting a high percentage of points on first serve. However, I'm struggling to get above 25% first serve in any game. It either goes wide, long, hits the net, anywhere but in the service box, I probably break more than I hold at the moment.

I understand that players at that level aren't very good (in comparison to the top guys anyway!) and serve percentages aren't going to be high, but I should be able to push towards 50-60% surely? Anyone got any tips on technique?

Service stats are Power 50%, Consistency 29% and Precision 60%

Hello,

your issue comes from the Serve Consistency which is under the Power. You should aim to something like : Power 45% / Consistency 45% / Precision 45% ; it'll be much better. When Power equals Consistency, you'll have 70% serves in (not including your left/right aiming mistakes).

Thanks

Getting it up above 60% now having put my consistency up level with the others.

Can I ask what the difference between Consistency and Precision is? As I thought it was Precision that needed to be higher than Power for high serve percentages (hence why it was so high!)

Precision influences only the size of the zone where the ball can land. So the higher it is, the easier it is to aim for the lines.
