The jam serve (AKA wrap-around serve) is a unique serve used in both singles and doubles. The goal of this serve is to have the first bounce of the ball hit the floor in the center of the court, but as close to the back wall as possible.
In singles, use it against opponents who have trouble pivoting quickly on their feet or who stand too close to the back wall.
In doubles, use it to split the receiving team and wrap around the right side receiving player.
