Hi Khaled,

Yes, I personally think this drill can be carried out with players of all abilities.

It's important never to neglect the basics and even the best players have to make sure they nail the fundamentals. This drill is great for focussing on the technical aspect and feel of the serve to improve consistency and control for all abilities.
