Jam Serves
 

7. The Surprise Jam: This jam serve is the boldest of them all. This ball is hit right at your opponent. Most receivers figure the serve directly at them is the least likely to be used, so the surprise jam will catch them off balanced. Make sure to use plenty of power and be sure the receiver is not expecting it. If your opponent can take this off the backwall, he or she will have a clear path down the right side of the court.

8. The Regular Drive (Pure V): The ball tak it first bounce between the short line and receiving line, and its second bounce in either corner (it does not hit the sidewall).

9. Drive Nick: Ball hits the sidewall deep (30-32 feet back) and very, very low (almost looks as if it cracked out). Also known as the deep angled crack serve.

10. Soft High Lob, Straight In: Hits ¾ of the way up on the front wall and the first bounce hits 1-2" in front of the dotted line(so your opponent can’t attack it) and the second bounce is deep in either corner. It does not hit the sidewall.

11. Lob Nick: Hits ¾ to 7/8 of the way up on the front wall and hits the sidewall on the fly 30-35 feet back, with the first bounce deep in the corner. The ball dies before it hits the backwall.

12. High Soft Z: Hits ¾ of the way up on the front wall, within 6-12" of the sidewall, travels past the short line and then hits the second sidewall about 30-35 feet back. The ball dies before it hits the backwall.
