Serve. Which serve motion, buttons or stick, aiming serve.

Is their only one place the ball goes with buttons when timing is right or can you hit the lines with button serving? Also, serve A or the Federer serve? I need someone who has a mic and I can talk to who can help and is a good coach.

Try out all motion till you find one that suits you. Practise your serve that's basically the best advice

you can hit the lines with button serving.

Norberto paints the line beautfilly on his outwide serve.

About the serve motion, really pick one that you like. Ive switched my serve ice motion about 3 times

How? When I use buttons, the ball can only go to a certain place on each side of the service box.

Also, can you switch characters in top spin school and serve motions or is it just Ricky Singleton.

Its all about timing and how much you move the left analog stick.

I know you must hear that a lot, but thats it. If you can get perfect timing and know how far to press the stick, then you should be able to hit the lines consistently.

I hope someone else can explain better than i can. Maybe Rob, he is a great server!

Wow... I just realized how to serve the lines. I feel like a god. Thanks even though you didn't help but now I am serving bombs with buttons by using the d pad for aiming YAYAYAYAYAYAY!

I'm using the d-pad for aiming and I find it much more closer to the lines. I'm not exactly hitting the lines but my serve is definitely faster and its more accurate. It's easier for me to win my service games now.

your serve is very good, should mix it up more though

im really annoyed at the minute. in alberto mexicano just now i lost to the #23 7-6 7-6 in my first ever ITST match, and ive just realised i picked the most awkward service animation out there! I couldnt use risk serves at all, because the motion was too quick! Im talking about the womans C motion (mauresmo's serve).

}( Grrr...

No, you can't switch characters. And no, it's not Ricky Singleton either :lol:
