How To Hit The Biggest Serve In Pickleball

Summary

Roscoe Bellamy (top-ranked pro) breaks his biggest serve into five focuses: ground-up power, depth that pushes returns, topspin combined with trajectory so the ball feels heavier, variation so returners can’t sit on one look, and a consistent pre-serve routine that keeps aggression without spraying.

Key takeaways

• Legs/ground force before arm
• Depth makes power useful
• Topspin + trajectory = heavy ball
• Variation + routine = consistency under pressure

Action items

• 10 serves focusing only on leg drive
• Target deep corners; track in %
• Alternate flat/topspin looks each 5
• Write a 3-step pre-serve routine and use it every point
