no, im saying the lefty serve is stronger than the right hander

[tonedawg1]

Lefties are about 10 times more effective, there is greater angle produced with lefty serves, returning the slice out wide is 10 times harder than a righties slice out wide

EXACTLY every time they hit that slice out wide Im at a loss but i played maximo and i was a lefty and his serve out wide wasnt as effective as i could get to it without too much problem and for once i felt i could actually return his serve and my serve felt more effective so i think ill be a lefty from now on

[RV_Cobra11]

isn't that the advantage of the lefty over right?

maybe as your FH is stronger than you BH.

The advantage is that it is in the adv court and its too the BH rather than the FH, but the serve itself isnt better, however in this game it is

i remember playing oshiee that lefty serve was untouchable to me i could only watch the ball go by over and over then when i moved all the way to the corner to get the ball he does it again and my player lunges and pops the ball up or he would go down the line

That is exactly my experience. I KNOW I time the ball right, yet this still happens. Basically, Lefty serve + perfect timing on wide slice = unstoppable serve from the default serving position.

While I never abused it, I did use a lefty for some time last year and I remember that serve was more then effective. I am since using a righty and move myself towards the middle as close as possible. If I wanted free points, I would just use short risk slice at this point, its not banned right?

and my player goes off screen too LOL

sorry mate, i don't agree, the last match we played i used grissom, and i don't know the reason, maybe his 170cm, but grissom serves really slow (for example, johnson serves faster than grissom) , and u had a lot of time for returning my seves, not only out wide services, because 1 day before i used mahone, and was very diferent,

[tonedawg1]

ya but your guy was taller and stuff and yea your lefty serve with him was very different

[maximo]

yes, u destroyed grissom yesterday , i don´t know how many bp i saved

I've always heard that left-handers have an advantage in tennis with his serve because they can give more angle, as we all know this is totally false, but also might get more angle to his forehand or his backhand, is not it? This myth is also heard in other sports such as martial arts, (I practice a couple of them and i know what I say) but in fact, there isn´t a physical advantage by being a lefty, and it isn´t different in this game, the reason is simply because the number of left-handers is much lower than the right-handed, so for a lefty to play or fight with a right handed is normal, while for a right-handed is something that is out of the ordinary, this is the only reason because a lefty has "advantage", you see top 100 in ATP, only 11 or 12 players are lefties, i don´t think that in TS3 lefties out wide services are better than right handed, probably is something mental.
