Serving
Free points and free pressure. Serving is where you control the whole rally before it starts — especially with the Gulf wind at your back.
Focus on
What to watch for
- Consistent toss first; everything else follows from it
- Learn a standing float before adding a jump
- Serve the seam, the weaker passer, or short when the wind is up
- Never miss two in a row — track your misses in practice
