    This is a selfless, non showy, well presented, well constructed, well articulated, first class lesson. Have not seen one like it and I have looked at quite a lot. I have been trying to copy Djokvic. Lots of double faults- discouraged. Other videos are too wordy or not comprehensive as this one is. AM

    Toughest stroke in tennis, imo.......hard to develop muscle memory. Can practice all day and get in a groove, but lose the feel during matches. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together.

      +Rick Martin I have a hard time with my serve as well. But in fact, I believe a serve could come easily. You know exactly where the ball will be and you have already positioned yourself to hit it. We overthink the serve and try to hard mentally and physically to master it. I think if you would tell a child to toss the ball up and hit it, it would soon make the right motion without getting further instructions.

      @yimingzhh 8 років тому +50

      +Marco Grieco I beg to differ. I have seen quite a few kids starting to try serves. Non of them can figure out continental grip pronation by themselves. Not even the smartest or the most athletic kid. The motion is just not intuitive.

    • @MARC0K0ELN
      @MARC0K0ELN 8 років тому +8

      I think you are right. After still working on my serve, often with the help of Feel Tennis' clips, I realized that the motion ist not intuitive.

      I've never really had a guaranteed second serve. I am self tought through just playing and the serve has always been my achilles heal. I stopped playing 10 years ago and only recently started playing again and noticed that I felt really uncomfortable in my serve motion which would explain why the toss and direction was so erratic and why my shoulder hurts the day after. Your video has helped me understand what I'm doing wrong. Ty.

    You have taken a very complex action sequence and broken it down into logical sub-actions. You are the first person to properly explain arm pronation to me. You have provided great modelling. This is some of the best teaching practice I have seen on UA-cam. Well done and thank you so much - I can't wait to improve my serve!

    I used to play tennis EVERY DAY from ages 14-20, I got pretty good, but then school/work/life got in the way and I completely quit playing. At almost 28, I finally picked my racket back up (and yes, the same racket and strings from 8 years ago), started watching your videos, and practicing every day. Within 2 weeks of very intentional drills, mentally going through all your videos, and having an open mind, I already feel like I'm better than I was 8 years ago. Your videos are truly phenomenal, you're an amazing teacher!

    This video gave me the breakthrough I needed to begin using an advanced serve. I am 3.0 player that struggled with serve toss and consistently getting my serve in play (a good day was 30% of serves). Prior to watching this video I was practicing my serve daily but was seeing very little improvement. After two 100 ball sessions practicing your "bounce" to pronate drill, my contact consistency and serve accuracy substantially improved. I was so exhilarated with the improvement gained in a short period of time! I am very motivated to trust your training recommendations to continue progressing. Thank you so much for your help!

    Best instructional video about serve on UA-cam. I used this video to teach my daughter (10) serve when she was transitioning from the 'waiter' serve to the 'hammer' grip. The results were instant. Now my 10 year old daughter has now reached 115 kmh (about 71 mph) from about 80 in 8 weeks or so. It's amazing. I must also mention that she is also using the serve master, nice tool. Thanks Tomaz, thanks FEEL TENNIS INSTRUCTIONS.

    First of all, I wanted to say that this is by far the best tennis online training series available, very deep, articulate and mind opening. I’ve improved my game dramatically, not by following some gimmick drills that many other channels present, but by gaining understanding of body mechanics and also mental aspect of the techniques. This video is also very great. I struggle with the serve, no matter what I do I end up opening the racquet too early in a classic “waiter’s serve” form. When I film myself, even when I’m convinced I did everything right this time, when I then watch the video of myself in slow motion I can’t believe I somehow manage to again do the waiter’s tray serve. It feels as if someone was pranking me by swapping the video :) It is interesting to see that in this video you actually also open the racquet very early and point its face to the sky. It’s at 4:32 in slow motion example of the serve pronation. I understand that this is not a complete serve and just a movement of the arm so that could be the reason, but it’s clear the waiter’s tray form creeped in there too. Can you please comment on that?

    Just started watching. I love all your tips. I like the 2 angle visual. I have been not been using this and will not start. Also as every serve tip advises; pronate. I like the tip pronate in the straight angle. I'm a 3.5 player and one thing I seen as I move up is a lot of guys with average serves at 3.5(often myself). It really makes for some long drawn out points and makes it where you really have to work to win a match. I was at 3.0 for a while and luckily my serve got to a point(at that level)where I could really overtake guys at end up winning most of my service games. Huge advantage.

      Hi, we don't hit the serve with the flexion of the wrist as that would lose the stability of the stroke. The flexion you may see sometimes after the contact is because the player starts to relax since the ball is gone and the work has been done so there's no more need to maintain any tension.

      Feel Tennis Instruction , Thomas, I am new to your group. I love this video and have subscribed. One question: wehn we are practicing all this should I go very slow on the serve and the build up my speed with time. Or should I start practicing with my normal speed.

    Thanks so much! I just got into Tennis for 1 week ago and I'm in love with it. I really like to watch tennis videos and I believe I can be a pro even if I am too old to start.

    Having only recently started playing tennis I was constantly being told my serve will be great once it starts going in, trouble is I practice so much I quickly developed tennis elbow and had no second serve. When it was in my first serve was great, trouble is the percentage of first serve was barely 20%. Watched so many videos but none transformed my serve instantly as this one did. Whilst I've not adopted all the mechanics described I did learn the pronation as taught in this video which upped my first serve percentage instantly, more importantly with pronation I no longer have tennis elbow and can serve for hours without searing pains. I have also adopted the hip thrust for my second serve, coupled with correct pronation actually delivers a fairly hefty second serve speed with a very high success rate. I do still double fault but as an absolute beginner I've achieved in months what others take far longer to do. This video instantly transformed my serve. Great video, great break down of the elements and well worth the time investment. Thanks

    So far among all the numerous step by step basic training on using pronation technique to increase the speed of our serve, I must say that this one is the best and I do recommend it for those amateur player who would like to improve their service game.

    Best tennis serve video I've ever seen on YT. Just went to the court yesterday, tried 3 hours to correct my biomechanics of serve, although I've made big improvement since the beginning and I can serve really fast serves; but I always knew thanks to some ppl watching and warning me that the technique still isn't right. Yesterday I tried so hard to make it right, yet I was still trying to hit right away without completely releasing my should and arm, because I lack the knowledge that I needed to finish extending my arm first! now I get it totally, it is down to putting it into practice now. Thanks so much, I now totally have confidence that this will be the last time that I struggle to make things right on my serve and putting my rivals in trouble :D Highly appreciate your effects, thanks coach!

    I really needed this my playoffs are tomorrow and my serves are good but I knew I was doing something wrong because my wrist kept hurting afterwards and I have a habit of double faulting a lot I know this video is 4 years old and no one is probably gonna see this but thank you so much 🙇‍♀️

    I couldn't thank you enough for your serving video. My servings were erratic, I don't really have absolute control over my servings. Following your instructions, I found that rocking both arms to initiate the toss helps my serving rhythm, and applying your serving instructions, everything comes together. Hard to explain, the whole motion of serving becomes somewhat synchronized. Next will be to get out to the court and practice. The sweet sound of the ball hitting you know when you get a solid contact, the power is easy.

    Trying to find the hands up icon. All I can do is a thumbs up. Great instruction. I came to the realization while practicing my serve earlier this evening that my swing path is all wrong. And, this video proves it. I was trying to swing straight through. In the morning I will try out and THEN straight during the pronation. Tks.

    Good tutorial. I do not watch many tennis tutorials and my serves sucks when I play a match because I am short and also get nervous. But I do know a bit about serving. However I have found that body type and bone structure can influence one's server. So serving techniques can vary between from individuals. Copying someone else's style may not work for you. I mean even a tiniest change in technique can make a huge difference. I learnt that if I grip the racket hard at certain point in the swing, twist my shoulder just a bit more and pause for a second before moving from stage 1 to 2 make my serve far more consistent, accurate and twice as fast. Serving happens so fast that if you do not get it right you lose a lot of accuracy and power and you will never know why.

    Excellent description & breakdown of balanced efficient mechanics utilized in executing a serve. This has been extremely helpful. I saw this at first quite some time ago & at that juncture I could not fully understand the details. But now after some time of thoughtfully working on my technique, I can now comprehend your wonderful description & take advantage of this opportunity to improve my technique. thank you very much
