As I can´t post it to AB_tennis in the forum,yet a member,it goes here:
First of all, thank you so much ,for the replies for my first post.
I´ve noticed that on the serve and even playing, some balls almost don´t bounce at all.I´d like to know wich is the effect that has to be given for this to happen.
This strokes are almost impossible to respond and therefore very good.

Thank you very much

There’s a little downward-pointing arrow to the right of the single-line space where you see the user names of forum members. That’s a drop-down menu that will show you all of user names, including mine. If you click on AB_TENNIS, it will become the selected recipient of your message.

I answered your tennis question in the forum.
