This guy just blew my mind. I've been struggling to visualize pronation on the serve but with his example of how to throw a ball I saw it exactly. I get it now.
wrote for myself but will post to maybe help someone Drill 1: Throw the balls and let go Drill 2: Lead with the edge, pronate and follow-through behind your back Drill 3: Lead with the edge, pronate and follow-through in front Drill 4: Lead with the edge, slice and pronate AFTER contact Drill 5: Serve and pronate without rotating the body Drill 6: "Smack" the ball in the ground. Approach the ball with edge! Drill 7: Hit the ball backwards I´m learning to serve and the lack of pronation left my with a minor wrist injury. After recording, I realized I was making ulnar deviation instead of proper pronation, so that the racket and my arm were aligned on contact. Awesome video. Thanks!
You are the BEST!!! i have been playing tennis for 40 years….even played in college and this video has changed my serve…so much less effort and a lot more power. The drills are easy and effective. THANK YOU!!
You are the BEST tennis instructor on UA-cam! I watch a lot of videos and none of them are as instructive as yours! I know I'm six years late for your videos, but I just started playing tennis! Thank you for making them!
I've seen a lot, and I mean hundreds of tennis videos, in my quest to improve my technique. I must say that you are the one that explains better the concepts in a simple and very intuitive way! Chapeau to you!
I've been strugling with my serve for several years by now and I even though about quiting tennis. I had several coaches but any of them taught me the way you do. I think now I have a good foundation to start fixing my serve once for all and I'm looking forward to go practicing your drills. Thank you very much
I did quit tennis in the '70s. Back then, I found no one who could build strokes like this and teach me. You couldn't live in Seattle and take instruction from someone in Cincinnati like you can today. You just couldn't be sure, nor could you take your pick. With Great channels like Feel Tennis Instruction, now is the time to restart. Thomas is one of the best. Every video is worth my time.
@@Eliath1984 off topic: Feel Tennis reviewed a new tennis ball machine, the Slingerbag, a viable low priced option to the spendy machines out there. I'm happy with my (almost basic) Lobster Liberty despite some shortcomings, but wish my timing was better: I spent $400 more than you or others might need to spend. Cheers!
You are THE best serve instructor on UA-cam. I actually figured this out myself but when I saw your video, it really expressed my experience. Supination must occur for pronation to happen naturally. Great job, but I have to say if a person just learning the serve watched this video, it would be difficult to understand and repeat it. The serve is like advanced math, it takes a lot of effort to get, even when your teacher explains it to you.
Best pronation advice ever. Helped my serve 100%. Align body 45 degrees (to netpost)-drop racquet head behind back- pronate naturally with wrist snap pronation with thumb eventually pointing to the ground. With proper grip, then ball goes in beautifully.
This is a gem of a video Tomaz. Have probably seen this several times in the last couple of years. Every time I watch this, I learn something new and helps me improve... Keep up your good work. Hope you are staying safe and healthy! Best Arvinth
Your breakdown of the serve is top notch! I'm a recreational player and been trying for years to improve my serve but never really managed to serve properly. Now after watching your video it's working like magic and I'm on the right path. Thank you so much!
Will defeat my dread of the pronation serve and change from waiter's although I am 66 years and won 3 ITF senior matches. Since I now coach kids I am motivated to teach them this serve.
I’ve studied probation from many2 coaches. I was so confuse especially when it comes to point of contact . This video saved me. I just practice at the court today and everything g made sense Tq very much coach
Really impressive the video. The position of the finger in the pronation... the common mistake.. the pronation after the slice server.. very well done this video.. expecially the muscle memory.. you are a monster of teaching tennis... please continue this love passion teaching us your great experience with this cult videos that are a great great value.... really impressive
This is great, I am a tennis player but also a badminton coach and the pronation technique is also used to gain power in the badminton smash. This is the best coaching video I have seen for either sport to explain the concept.
what a great video! I want to go out on the court and practice now but it's 1am so thanks for the inspiration on pronation, it always feels so awkward but you just made it seem fun to master.
Hi Tomaz, This is brilliant. Like many of the other posters here, I was really struggling to incorporate pronation into my serve. The tip in this video that really made all the individual elements come together was the point about the 45 degrees orientation of body at contact. That really helps to make the pronation and the arc of the swing from "back-scratching" position to the follow through much more natural. Once again I really appreciate your time and effort to make all the videos that you do.
This is possibly one of the best videos about tennis serve on UA-cam. Although I had already learned that pronation is important, that I need to use the continental grip, and that I need to face the right side of the net, my serve was still poor. My friend pointed out that my racket face is pointing upwards, when I hit a ball. After analyzing slow motion videos of good serve, I realized that with all the knowledge about tennis serve, I was still doing "waiter's serve". My forearm was already pronated when moving forward from the trophy position. And just like a racket lag for forehand, my wrist was cocked back so the racket face was facing up at the contact point. As a result, often the ball flew upwards. It was like pushing a giant with my palm. Good servers I found on UA-cam approach the contact point differently. When approaching towards the contact point, the elbow leads the hand and racket. The grip end follows and the racket looks almost as though it's going to hit the ball with the frame. It looks like shooting a karate chop against a giant. And of course, just before the contact, pronation comes in so that the racket face hit the ball flatly. Though it seems a common practice that tennis coaches emphasize the similarities between throwing a ball and serving a ball. But I've noticed a few important differences. First, when I throw a ball in a baseball way, I put my body weight on my right leg at the power position, equivalent to the trophy position of serve, and then the body weight is transferred to my left leg during a throw. However, in the trophy position for tennis serve, you need put your body weight to your left leg (you can find other videos talking about this). This for me was a big difference. Second, although Tomaz said in this video that when we throw a ball our right arm naturally pronates at the end, I don't think so. I think my forearm is very much pronated at the power position, when the ball is behind the head, and gradually supinated towards the end of throwing. I've also confirmed this by watching the slow motion of pro baseball pitchers. So, in fact, in terms of pronation and supination, throwing a ball (in baseball) and serving a ball in tennis are very different. Then, what's the point of using the analogy of throwing here? As far as I can see, it's more about the whipping-like motion. When you whip, you make a movement by your hand and that movement is transferred distally to the tip of the whip, which can go faster than the speed of sound. Likewise, when you start a motion at a proximal part of your body, you can transfer and accelerate the motion to more distal part of your body. Both in throwing and serving, the motion starts at the legs and/or trunk of the body and that motion is transferred to the shoulder, the elbow, and then the hand (and the racket) to achieve the maximum power and speed. Actually, in both cases, you can clearly see the elbow leading the hand. This I think is the similarity. The waiter's serve, on the other hand, is pretty much isolated arm movement. You can't take advantage of the motion of the proximal part of your body. It's not like whipping. Therefore, it is very hard to achieve speed and power. This is probably why the waiter's serve is only for beginners.
Great explanation. Very clear and easy to follow.. Just want to share one thing; for me it works wayyyy much better if I make sure I really complete the "preparation" step properly, which is drawing the racket behind my head. Doing this guarantees every time I swing to hit the ball from the same starting position and thus more consistency. Also that means you're fully extending your arm so the racket can hit the ball from as high as possible, and thus easier to make it over the net but still land. And tossing the balls is critical too. I feel like I need to adjust my tossing to match the most natural pronation motion, not the other way around.
Thomas...this is such an excellent explanation of pronation which is a difficult concept but so important in the Serve... you have a very scientific approach which is so necessary in Modern Tennis...thank you Thomas for this video and for your other videos...very much appreciated..
You've been a massive help Thomas - I've been getting a lot of wrist pain recently due to a heavy racket and untrained wrist, and the smash into the ground drill is absolutely fantastic for strengthening. I must also say your explanation of what pronation is is fantastic, and I've learnt a great deal from your serve videos. Many thanks!
Another great video with direct applications as I teach badminton to children. This fits very nicely with your service video. We change our initial social instinct to face an opponent and give a straight hand pat to the side orientation of body and forearm. Very weird socially but very effective for throwing, a truly human skill. Rotation of the hips and pronation of the forearm takes practice to control but generates power. All of your drills to guide progress are very helpful! This is what I like so much about your teaching, the combination of explanation and physical steps to build the technique. Thank you!
I'm old enough but love tennis and started taking tennis lessons. Seeing your videos help a lot. Thanks for all the tips!Greetings from Germany. Great job! :)
I love watching your instructional videos...this one is no exception. I think I am finally getting the feel of serving with the slice and pronation. Thanks for all you do. One of the most important concepts that you teach is 'feeling' tennis...and that is what I am striving for.
Very inspiring all those nice and clear inputs you present. Also the size is perfect: never too much, just the right amount of stuff you can work on and digest. Congratulations.
INCREDIBLE!!! This is the third video about the serving, that i`m watched on this channel. Each videos have something new information. Will may be from the 4-th video i will knew something specific new about the serve, may be Thomas said not all about the secrets of normal serve! =) Thank You, Teacher!
I always have to chuckle when I watch your videos, it is almost like you have CTV on the court I coach, all the things you say hat kids will do are my exact same experiences. I have been stuck a few times with where to go to help improve technique and your videos have been invaluable, your are awesome thanks Thomas
I love this! Can't wait to go out and try it! I've had $50/hour coaching lessons for months, and watched many videos from other UA-cam coaches, and no one has explained this at all! No one has talked about pronation. I didn't even know what it was! I was standing correctly, and using the continental grip, but I would twist into the direction I wanted the ball to go, so basically I was using all shoulder and contacting too low. Doing it your way, first of all I can feel the power of the pronation, and secondly it becomes much easier to contact higher! I can't wait to see if this will actually create a great & dependable serve!
You are so precise in your instruction that it almost feels like I am doing it along with you. Today I tried the index finger during pronation and the results were amazing!
Little confusion :. Couldn't understand the difference between slice and pronation service. If that ( slice service and pronation service ) difference is clarified, I am thankful to you sir.
I've watched tons of videos, and no doubt, you are the best! I hope you will continued to share your valuable knowledge. All the best to you, and thank you so much!
Thanks a lot for your time and effort to teach tennis. I practiced your serve lessons and hit 4 aces in the next match, that was awesame for me coz i almost never hit an ace. You are a great teacher !
What an amazing explanation. This makes perfect sense, and allows me to fully understand the mechanics of the "correct" way to server. Can't wait to try work on my pronation drills. Thanks a million, great video
Excellent presentation on pronation and drills to learn the technique. It all makes sense to me, other than the "finger" tip seems a little unusual, not sure I want to keep my index finger extended like that, I'll have to review that again and see if it helps. Bookmarking this for sure.
I find this video the most insightful instruction on how pronation works. kudos to the coach. HOWEVER, I would strongly advise the beginners, to not prioritize this in learning your serve. Pronation is a natural thing. Unless you're a 5+ rating and you need to go back to your drills, it won't be good to try to force pronation in your service. It will come naturally as long as you have the right grip and right swing motion.
Great video, I like the attention to detail and the finger technique was very interesting. I have practiced the things taught in this video and I quickly & naturally took to it. My serve now has more consistent power. Thank you for the video.
I'm just getting back into tennis after a 10 year hiatus since I was 13 lol. And even though in this last year I've gotten to the point where I can beat decent players, my serve is still technically my weakest. Thank you very much for these great instructional videos. - Josh
Very informative and excellent video. So, pronation happens naturally during the serve motion, we just have to ensure the timing of the contact with the ball is such that it makes contact with the flat racket head (and the index finger can be used for guidance) - is what I've learnt on a first viewing. No doubt I'll have to come back to this video.

Cannot stress the importance of index finger on pressing the pronation. Your finger basically points the ball

Been working on it in quarantine. I'm a lefty but throw right, so it's brand new. My shoulder is on fire, but it's getting there. Thanks for the tips!
Thank you! Your thorough explanation is amazing. Thank in helping me improve my game.
Excellent, excellent lessons! Thank you for putting up these videos
Very good tutorial. All sense and no waffle.
Very good and clear presentation! Thanks!
I'm just getting back into tennis after a 10 year hiatus since I was 13 lol. And even though in this last year I've gotten to the point where I can beat decent players, my serve is still technically my weakest. Thank you very much for these great instructional videos. - Josh
Very informative and excellent video. So, pronation happens naturally during the serve motion, we just have to ensure the timing of the contact with the ball is such that it makes contact with the flat racket head (and the index finger can be used for guidance) - is what I've learnt on a first viewing. No doubt I'll have to come back to this video.
