Any motion, including underhand or sidearm is permissible, however, the overhead or overarm stroke is by far the most common. (The terms "overarm service" and "roundarm service" are rarely heard today.) There are basically three types of service: 1) the flat service; 2) the slice service; 3) the spin service. Note that the term "serve" is ambiguous in English. On the one hand it may refer to the result of going through (e.g. he can hit a very hard "serve"); finally, it may even refer to one of the two attempts allowed to complete a service (e.g. he is about to make his second "serve" - French: deuxième balle de service). On this last note, at Wimbledon, England, one hears the chair umpire call out "first service", rather than "first serve".  5, fiche 1, Anglais, - serve

A type of topspin serve hit with a combination of topspin and sidespin. The ball not only takes a high bounce, it also flies in a direction opposite of what one would normally expect it to.  4, fiche 3, Anglais, - American%20twist%20serve

An exageration of the topspin serve turns the service into a kick service or "American twist". A right-hander's American twist serve puts left-to-right spin on the ball. Such a serve can present difficulties for the receiver, particularly on grass where the bounce could be tricky.  4, fiche 3, Anglais, - American%20twist%20serve
