<p>I do the same, but if I want it to be extremely angled, I will stay sideways as close to similar to the topper for the sake of disguise. I may let the ball drop a little more for greater curve, or to change it up, hit it nearly at the apex for topspin slice effect.</p>

<p>Actually, I stay sideways longer if I want to hit to the right side of the box. When I want to pull it to the left side, I come out of my turn sooner.</p>

<p>To get it to go short and more angled, stay sideways a bit longer and snap it more. </p>
<p>Yeah, the right side of the ad box flat (low % though) or topspin slice is killer. Mix the kicker in and that keeps them guessing the trajectory. Which one do you hit, Paul?</p>

<p>My best service placement is probably the right side of the ad service box. After that, down the middle. But, I'm working on my "right handed can-opener" to the left side of the deuce box. You would think it would be the easiest shot for a righty. But, after all these years, it's something I didn't focus on until recently. When I nail it, it's brutal. But, getting it short and wide is the key. Even if you hit close to the corner, it could end up as a set up for a big forehand unless…</p>

<p>Yeah, that is a good one. Sometimes when my serve is struggling, I forget about all these options. I think actually envisioning what serve you are going to hit proactively prevents one from falling into the "just get it in" mentality and probably keeps the double faulting away.</p>

<p>Yeah, I began raising the height of my slice serve on the deuce side. Really stops an accurate crosscourt forehand reply, especially those who slug it back. </p>
