Yes...it's not because we 'can't do it though, it's because the flat serve and kick serve directions are so close together on the stick that we accidentally hit the kick serve a lot...it's really difficult not to accidentally hit the kick serve, for me.


I wish flat serves were down-up, slice serves was right to left, and kick serves were left to right on the stick. That would be so much easier....

I think pushing to the right (as you would for a kick) is just a more natural path for your thumb to follow. Whenever I find it happening to me, I just focus on pressing up and slightly to the left.

I wish they had kept it the way it was in TS3, where you had to rotate the stick for slice and kick - in fact, I still do that when I want to use spin.

I wish the joystick on the 360 controller was gated, just for this game.

I have more problem hitting the serves anywhere else than to the middle of the service box lol.....the last few days I somehow cant serve to the T, everytime I try, the ball lands in the middle of the service box. Serving wide is no problem...very weird...

It would be great to serve like Isner in the game, just need to find a suitable balance so it's not too easy/hard. It's not great that it's almost impossible to hit the lines with servers on less than 80!

hold the left stick in the opposite direction to the side your opponent is on i.e if is on the left or ad court hold the left stick to the right a few seconds

I try to pull my thumb a bit to the left, which, although feels tilted, is straight.
