I believe that how you initially serve sets the tone for your pickleball game. Study your opponents likes and dislikes, and be able to mix it up. If the opponent doesn't know what to expect, they can't always return their best shot. Make them move! Vary your serves with short shots, side spin shots, shots aimed down the centerline, high bounce, or aimed at your opponents backhand. If I have the time at pickleball I take a bunch of balls to an empty court, and do continuous practice serves until it becomes natural. When your serves are varied you become as unpredictable as a buffalo/bison leaping over the net.
