I love your devotion to improving. There is a lot that goes into becoming a pro tennis player. However, if we simplify it to the most basic level, the first hurdle is if one has a "big" enough game to be a pro. Building a "big" enough game around the serve and forehand seems to be the typical combination. Dominic Thiem said while he was growing up he was taught to hit the ball as hard as he could even is it resulted in mistakes because he knew eventually he would be able to harness the power and be consistent at the same time. One has a better chance at becoming a pro if they clear the "big" enough game hurdle first then add to it with speed, fitness, consistency, tactics, competitive attitude, etc. It's good to see you are using data on your serve speed to gauge your progress. If you can get to 193km (120 MPH) on 1st serve then you will have a pro level serve. Play as "big" as possible. That's how you will get to next level. Most guys that are really good but can't quite make it to the pro level just didn't have a big enough game.
i often get asked how i serve so big at my club with my skinny build, like you said, I just practised serving at 110% all the time until I could harness it. The others just serve at 75%.
You need to have your body weight going towards your target. You're falling to the left after every single serve. So on the add side, all your energy isn't going towards your target. It's called your power line. If you want to maximize your serve speed you want all of your energy, power line, going towards your target. So on the add side you need to fall to your right and not your left. This will help you also hitting your flat out wide target more easily and also keep you from missing in the net. Hope this helps and good luck on tour bro
Hey, always love your videos. I don't want to put a massive dampener on it, but those tests are far far too small sample sizes to say whether there has been a significant change in your serve in the week (spoken as a maths teacher!). The bigger the sample size, the more you can actually tell if there's been a change and 3 is just not even close to enough. You need to run a statistical hypothesis test to see if it is actually significant, and I think those changes are just far too small to say anything. Similarly, the 6/10 to the 8/10, is not statistically significant. Having said all that, you continue to do amazing work to improve and it's always great to watch. :)
Haha thanks , I did maths a level so knew going into it that it wasn’t super accurate , but to be honest I think that could have got a little boring and would have been super long to like setup, but appreciate the comment 👏🏼
@@tennisbrothers I agree with Mark about statistical relevance, but you are spot on about keeping the videos entertaining. The videos are just a peek into a long process, not research for a scientific journal. Being able to pull data on your serve should be helpful over the long haul, so I hope you keep up the analytics. I'd take some readings every week or two and look for long term trends. It should help you grow, and if there is a drop, it should help identify any issues that may have popped up in your mechanics. The accuracy test might be better at 50-100 serves per session.
Definitely love your improvement to your serves and accuracy of the placement too, I really need to focus on those fundamentals too and everything else to improve not only the power and spin of the serve but definitely the placements for sure and not falling down to quickly too.
3:40 One of the most surprising observations to me was that out of a session with ball machines and serves, the serves got my heartbeat up much more than groundstrokes, even though I am running around more for the latter (I actually measured my heartrate). I guess the serve engages the entire body much much more than other strokes.
Yes, I'm always surpised how tiring a session of practicing serves is. If you're serving with all your might, you've got just about every major muscle group exploding into the ball, so it does make sense. Still, it's not intiutive, since you're not running around. We're probably not hitting the groundstrokes with everything we have like we do a serve.
@@aaronrussell5047 I think the forehand and backhand are not as complex as the serve and don't involve as many muscle groups. Though play against Nadal - or Felix here - and you might just be as exhausted ;-) If you want the serve with movement, have someone or a ball machine feed you high balls for overheads in different directions. Seriously one of the most exhausting workouts ever.
Great work one again and great video. Going to need to work on my serve too as it is quite weak but this video gave me some idea of how to practice/ improve my serve. Im sure your serve in a year will be twice as good and im always sure your matchplay will be better now.
Hey Felix, I noticed that you aren’t jumping into the court when you serve. Just something you might want to work on as putting your body weight into your serve will add an immense amount of power.
When you move outdoors, the serve speed will drop by 10mph or more depending on conditions. Better focus on spin, accuracy, and in disguising your serves.
Good improvement on the serve. In comparison using the same head app to measure serve my son maxes out at 150kph flat serve. He’s 12years old 5ft 8 in tall. I do take the head app with a grain of salt. Only use to see relative improvement.
Great work! I'm trying to transform my serve as well, as it's a little too slow for my liking. Can you tell me what the device you stuck on to the butt of the handle is?
It's a Zepp2 Tennissensor...I have one and have to say after the honeymoon phase ended, I didn't bother using it anymore Also customer Support for that thing, in case something breaks, is virtually non existend
Great improvements, especially on speed, I Think that test was The most valid since The spin and accuracy tests could be manipulated by slowing down The swing and just spinning The Ball more
Something that I heard a former top 20 mens tennis player said is that everyday after practice he would practice serves for and hour so maybe you can try that if you want
Great Video man, keep up your effort and you'll reach your goals. One question tho, what is the name (and Brand) of the tool you used for the speed/spin measurement? Thank you in advance
I'm not sure whether it makes sense to seperately test speed, spin and precision, I mean ingame your gonna want every serve to be fast, high spin and accurate all at the same time, wouldn't you?
Hey just a friendly suggestion I noticed at least on the ad side your body weight is going to the left and away from your target, this happened to me and I saw a 4-5 mph increase on my serve. Great video!!
Nice video again :) Where did you get this measuring tool from? And how does it work? Is it linked with some cameras to measure the speed or is it something else?
Just so you know the sensor is undercounting your serve speed by around 20mph (32 kph). You're already serving in the 120s (at least calibrated to standards of the sensors the pros use). You can do frame by frame counting from the point of contact to the point of landing (.4 seconds is 125mph, .5 is 100mph). Your serve are coming in around 24 fps out of 60 so that's around 125 mph. You can test it out by hitting the "," and "." key when watching any pro tournament on youtube if you want. You'll need to right click on youtube videos to verify the fps of videos (24,25,30,50,60) using stats for nerds. Most are 30 or 60 fps videos (this one is 60 fps).
Hey. Nice video. Could you explain how you hit the slice serve through the middle? Do you think about pronation or do you think about carving the ball? Thanks Michael
Great video , having a unbeatable serve is your first step to becoming a pro and it looks very good already. Now do some underarm practice for when you start entering the major's....I truly hope all your training and ability pays off buddy :)
Awesome vid. My thought is your serve is too fluid meaning the leg drive and pop isn't dictating the racquet drop and that is why your not getting the speed (there is no pause with your motion like the pros). Also you could try more racquet cocking with the racquet to the right of the body which always produces more velocity (shelton and Roddick). Just a thought. Your awesome though!!!!
Thanks so it's a zepp device , I think they stopped selling it. How did you synchronize the video and the app results, to be sure it's the right serve analyzed?
Great video! Why don't you post a video in a way that we can see the full movement of your serve in slow motion? Maybe the viewers could add comments on your technique...
Felix, appreciate its you and your camera but is there room to show tips / things that you tried that gave you the extra power - gave you the extra spin?
You are incorrect. Vesely earned $400k in 2022 alone. He has almost $5.2M career earnings. Vesely is a former top 35 player. He beat 4 top 25 players last week in Dubai in reaching the finals of a ATP 500 level event after going through qualifying. The men's game is very deep. The difference between top 100 and top 25 is partly physical but mostly mental.
I used the zepp tennis sensor to measure my serve for all you guys asking
U serve harder than simona halep
Cant find it anywhere 😭

Keep up the good work! The spin transformation is incredible, can’t wait to see your serve in a year
Those serves are comfortably faster than what that device is claiming. Keep
Up the good work!
longer videos please, love the series
That spin is gonna be DEADLY on clay
You are an inspiration to me! Keep up the great work and you will be the best! Can’t wait to see the one month transformation!
Very interesting, keep it up a 1 month transformation would be good to see for sure!
Getting better everyday. So very proud of YOU. More good times ahead.
Just got my first match win today ! Great vid too btw!
Awesome mate, hope to follow you more o the pro tour. LET GO!

You are a hard working dude.
🇯🇲 gwan bro gwan ! Serve look
Good
As a Schwartzman sympathizer, I too should probably do some work on my serve 😂
Nice video !!! I love your content continu like this 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I’m a tennis player too but your level is just WOW 😮🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I just started really working on my serve as well. Nice!
Please another serve video!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for one of your best followers 😊🎾🎾

Nice serving!!! Do you have any tips for recovering? I tend to exhaust my body too much
I’m new to your channel. Nice video! Hoping for a one month serve training video soon

Great stuff. I’m trying to improve my serve as well. Completely changed my grip and motion. Seeing more accurate serves so far.
your serve is really fluid, you're gonna improve it faster

You should get a sponsor for natural gut VS Babolat..That will get you more power and control..
Damn this video really makes me want to walk onto a court and practice my serve.
awesome

I think rpm stands for rotations per minute, the more rotation = more spin
What do you use to measure the serves?

Could i ask what that was that you put on your racket to test the spin and power?

Good service. Have you tried holding your racket lower ? Federer holds his racket during service at the very end of the handle.
What app is this and what device? Please

How does a device on the racquet can tell you the speed of the ball?
I would be astounded if that device is anywhere near accurate
Haha it probably isn’t super accurate but gives you a rough idea
Maybe you should also do some video analysis of your serve, get an even cleaner follow through
