How do I make it over the net overhand serving? get more power?

Here's How:
Stand well behind the end line. Get set with your feet in a stride position with the foot opposite of your hitting arm forward and pointed towards the net post.
Set your shoulders so that they are turned slightly toward the sideline
Visualizing where you want the ball, toss the ball slightly behind your hitting shoulder
Arch your back and swing your arm back, raising your elbow high and hitting hand next to your ear
Contact the ball with a fully extended arm, snapping your wrist on contact and rolling your hand over the top of the ball
As you contact the ball, crunch your stomach and transfer your weight to the forward foot
After contacting the ball, bring your arm quickly down to your waist and move onto the court
Tips:
The more you snap your wrist the quicker the ball will spin, consequently dropping faster and sooner
If the ball does not cross the net, you are probably not tossing the ball behind your head.

Make sure your hand is open and and really really straight, make sure your feet is lining up with the net and make sure you step opposite and put more power to it!! OR SERVE IT AS HARD AS YOU CAN!!!

hi i have the same problem , i cant get the ball over the net. i learned that u have to put your body into it. lean back and then when u serve push yourself forward and then put all of your force into it. GOOD LUCK

it is all about the toss of the ball and timing, unfortunetly this takes lots of practice.
toss the ball marginally forward of your racket shoulder the ball whould travel directly up and down.
Hit the ball with the racket the the top of the rackets swing height this will generate maximum speed/ power.
aim once again is all down to practice
good luck

bring your arm back...
umm for more power try lifting weights or something..
i hate serving im so bad at it! haha but yeah brining my arm back helps and i sometimes try not such a high toss. and dont put your whole body into it either.

You need to make sure that you swing through your serve!
