Hit A Perfect Serve (Powerful Tennis Tips)

You got this!! - Спорт
After watching untold thousands of tennis UA-cam videos, this is the most comprehensive and clear use of segmented progressions on the tennis serve. Thanks. Glad I found your channel. 🎾
Cam Lendrim wow thanks so much. So glad you enjoyed the video.
agreed
Totally agreed.
@@2MinuteTennisyh
You really have a talent for teaching tennis. Bless up.
g tran wow thanks so much. So kind
I’d agree. I’ve been playing tennis for about 30 years and I’ve seen my kids being coached by pros, and I’ve never seen anyone explain technique in simple and clear terms like Ryan does, ever. Heck, both me and my kids have benefited from Ryan’s simple but hugely effective tips, more than from anywhere else. Kudos!!!
Ramesh Srinivas wow. That is such a nice thing to write. Thank you so much!!!!!!
@@2MinuteTennis I third this. I've played for awhile so I have the basics down, but watching these videos are a great review on form. You are really good at explaining form in tennis!
I couldn't agree more. He's truly amazing
This is honestly the best tutorial on serve I have ever watched.
Wow thank you so much!!
5⁵
Y[⁵⁵=5⁵ it is is 8 you 8 it up in 6⁶ hi your guy
At about the eight minute mark, you addressed probably the single most important thing to help me improve and that is “don’t be too hard on yourself.” I am notoriously self critical, and it is detrimental to my learning because I have expectations that exceed my ability at this point. Great analogy about baking a cake and tasting the flower and saying it sucks. Of course it’s going to suck, it’s not done yet. I have been told how to serve by instructors and have gone out and hit hundreds of balls for hours on end and didn’t seem to get anywhere, not on any consistent level anyway. Going to give this step-by-step improvement method a chance and will definitely report back. Thank you so much for all of your great videos, they are very greatly appreciated.
The explanation was easy to understand even for Japanese people. I learned a lot.
I've watched many video explaining serving techniques, I can say that this one is the best
Wow thank you so much!!!!
Sorry Hamza ...This is TOTALLY WRONG for ANY player who is better than 2.o
And THAT Roger 'Serve' is an action for a SECOND serve. Action and MOVEMENT for a FIRST serve is DIFFERENT. Don't get sucked in yet.
@@braxtonshrianandan2438 thanks for the comments. 👍
Ryan knows his stuff
I have watched hundreds of videos on the serve but this is by far the best step by step tutorial. I really appreciate how you breakdown every aspect of what goes in a correct serve.Thanks coach!

Best coach ever
Absolutely brilliant!! So well explained. Makes it look so easy too. You're a star
Really helped me understand more of the physics of what’s happening with the “ball goes where the strings point,” and then racket path creates direction of spin. I was struggling with serve in part because the whole side on, swing up, swing towards side fence, etc., never made any logical sense to me, so I was never able to troubleshoot my own serve. Very helpful, thank you.
Kevin M. So glad the video helped explain how it’s done. Thanks for erring me know.
The most comprehensive tutorial on the serve!!
Thank you so much Rashid!! Really appreciate it!!!
Great!
Fantastic, detailed and simple instructions! Great job explaining the basic serve in its tiniest details! Wish I could see the differences between kick, slice and flat serve also explained by Ryan.
Awesome instructor! Very practical and effective without giving useless importance to body mechanics and physiology like some others show off on. Keep up the great work, coach!
Haha thanks. I never want to sound “smart”. My only goal is to be helpful. Thanks for the support!!
@@2MinuteTennis qaa
@@2MinuteTennis You already show how smart you are at knowing what is helpful for students 💙
@@2MinuteTennis what’s your cell number? I want to get in touch
Ryan, really made a difference with the birthday hat thing and only bouncing with the ball with my hand (not the racket). Thank you for this! Keep up the solid work, coach!
Hey thanks for letting me know the bday hat helped you. And bouncing only with the hand helps a lot too. Have an awesome day!!!
I like the way you teach; it is very clear and a good method for serving! Thank you very much!
Wow thank you. I appreciate your kind words and support.
“The ball goes where my strings point, not where the racket travels”
If there was a Tennis Bible, this would be in it.
Haha thanks so much!! Appreciate the support
Nothing could be further than the truth ☺️. Swing powers your stroke the strings determine the path of the ball.

Where did you learn all this great information? How did you learn to teach this way?
Very thorough and comprehensive! Thanks Coach.
Thanks a lot Ryan for share your knowledge, simply, clear, awesome!
Like everything else, life is a product of learning experiences. Great lesson here on hitting arm position. My serve has lately been in the toilet, but today with these tips it's back, flatter, more twist, more pace, more consistncy albeit rather different from my previous serve. Nice video!
Have been looking at youtube for many years and play tennis for many years, I still can't do my serve right until this video! Thank you for sharing such detail lesson! Best lesson ever
great video
Excellent tips Ryan, such a simple, clear, brilliant explanation!!! Thank you so much
Wow thanks so much Raul. So kind of you to say.
You are my first and the only teacher who shows whole picture of serve. Thanks so much.
So glad you liked the video!! Thanks!!
I've played tennis for a year and watched hundreds of coaching serves online but there is none as brilliant as yours. I really love the "knocking off the bday hat off" part - actually what I've missed and struggled over the year. Thank you so much sir! wish you all the best and more videos coming up !
this is the best video i've seen about serving. thanks a lot! just subscribed!
One of the best videos I've seen on the serve.I already have the lines drawn on my hand and the racket, practicing in my living room and hoping to implement this in my USTA match tomorrow. Will continue practicing afterwards. I love the birthday hat idea! Thank you.
Thank you Gabriela. I’m so glad you liked the video. Stay patient and good luck. Keep me posted!!
Hi Ryan!
Thanks a lot for the video, thanks to you my drive and backhand have improved a lot, now I'm working on the serve and slice.
I am a high school teacher, I wanted to tell you that your explanations are very good and pedagogical.
Greetings!
So much of minute details you covered...thank you so much for sharing this information 😊
i am watching from Korea . this is one of the best video in the world.
Wow thank you so much. I really appreciate you watching and letting me know you liked it!!! Have an awesome day!!!
Perfect explanation that comes from a profound knowledge of this beloved sport! Thanks a million!
Wow thank you!! I’m so glad you found it helpful!!
Thanks for the great video.....you show the correct way to serve step by step very clearly
You are clearly a great coach. I so wish I could take lessons form someone with your knowledge
best serve video, highly recommended
Wow thank you so much!! Really appreciate the kind words.
Thanks Ryan. I've watched heaps of youtube videos on serves and this is definitely one of my favorites. You deserve to have many more subscribers.
Yariv Freed that’s so great to hear. And I really appreciate your kind words and support. 😊
This is so great. My brother and I are new to tennis (and very excited to get to the next level) and I’m tired of starting every point with soft drives! Sending this to him for some homework before we play next.
Wow. What an amazing video on tennis serve. I have watched many good videos on tennis serve on UA-cam and other online websites but this is so far the best I have seen and the great about this video is if you try his steps , you will see huge difference on your serve. I wanted to thank you for the video and no doubt you are an amazing coach. Thanks again for the video!!
I cannot fault this video. I've played this game since 5 now 65 and your video is invaluable. AWESOME instruction. I cannot believe the ease of how I achieve so much more accuracy yet more power with less effort??? Thank you for these fantastic fundamentals, watching second time for second practice. No doubt I'm finally on the right course. You'll love my chocolate cake! 💯
Well someone with super critique will add if I don't. Suoinate, pronate KEEP YOUR ARM LOOSE. I'm going to have to practice both especially SUPINATE. Getting that knife edge makes sense in theory mastering it in reality... Let's just say thankfully I have the entire winter to develop any muscle memory. Being a righty getting the serve short and to the back hand in the ADD COURT is now a possibility. Probability? I'll get back right back to you, somewhere in April 🤭
Wow. Thank you. What kind words of support. Thank you for trusting me to help you with your tennis. Have an awesome day!!!!
This is the most concise video on 'serve' fundamentals that I have ever seen. Just implementing the the first part of positioning the arm properly has already made a noticeable difference in good serve percentages and with more pace too! I'm looking forward to progressing through the entire lesson including full pronation and spin.
So happy to hear that. Thanks so much for trusting me to help you!
Superb. Explanation of the grip with lines on the handle and hand was great. Cake metaphor, patting a dog and birthday hat really help too. 👏👏
Huge respect for your work, thanks for putting the time and effort.
Thank you so much a searched how to a perfect serve a long time and i didnt understand, until i find this video and you explained it really good. Thank you!!
Ron wow I’m so glad this video helped you!! Thanks for the support.
A good coach is blessed with the ability to observe and from his observations come insights and the ability to point them out. You have done just that ! I like the birthday hat example. I see it now. Just until a week ago I had no idea I was bringing the racquet back incorrectly resulting in that infamous waiter’s serve. Thankfully, because of your advice and a minor adjustment I made, I’m no longer doing it and can knock the hat off my head easily...😁. Thank you. That’s a neat little device you have to demonstrate spinning a ball.
Wow what an awesome comment. I’m so happy to hear the birthday hat helped you. Thanks so much for the kind words. Have an awesome day.
Excellent tutorial. You make it so easy to understand what needs to be done to develop a decent serve. Thanks.
I am advanced tennis player but I have never
seen anyone teaching serve like this u. 👏👏👏👍🙏🙏
Wow thanks. Appreciate the support from a high level player. Thanks again.
Best explanations I have seen. Easy to practice, and very professional. Thank you, sir!
Thank you so much Yufan!
Excellent list of Check Points for the serve. I would add that after you release the ball ALLOW YOUR TOSSING ARM TO CONTINUE UPWARD ALMOST TO THE VERTICAL. This will insure a reasonable height for the ball and it helps to get you
into the "Power Position" where your front shoulder is higher than your back shoulder.
Another outstanding tennis video. Bravo.
Agree! Really focusing on keeping my tossing arm as straight as possible has really helped my serve. Too many Rec players drop the tossing arm way too soon. The pros really stretch that towards the sky
Great video and service tutorial. Your points really makes sense.
This is by far the best video explanation of the slice serve for a beginner that I have seen on UA-cam and damn it helped me so much!
Thank you very very much!
That's a lot of learning! Congrat's
Thanks, great video. I am short and 50+ and a beginner, next thing to learn is the serve. I have made all the mistakes you mentioned🤣.I Like the segmented approach, rather than the whole serve motion. Nervous but excited to try this.Will get the birthday hat🥳 Thanks from Cape Town, South Africa 🏖
Hi Ryan, I was not good at serving but after watching this video I got improvement, big thanks for the teaching! Will definitely keep watching your videos !
My service was shit... I watched your video and took an hour of hitting this service. Amazing! really improved my game already and now i need to make it better.
I never seen a better tennis explanation ! You’re a great tennis teacher !
Wow thank you. There are great coaches out there so you saying that means the word to me!!!
This was freaking amazing! I want to go to the tennis court right now and try this out.
Haha thanks so much!! Let me know how it goes for you!! Thanks again
Wow. Best, clearest serve coaching ever. What a great teacher.
Thanks so much! Really appreciate your kind words and for watching!!
this is so helpful! ive never played tennis before and i joined a team with my friends, and watching these videos and getting the technique is really helpful!! thank u!
I am not a native speaker of English, but his English is still easy to understand. In addition, the explanation of tennis is polite and very helpful. Thank you very much.
I’m in the same case! I’m from Brazil and I’m not a native speaker too. But I can understand 95% that he says!
Wow I’m so happy to hear that. Thank you for letting me know. 😊
Probably the best explanation and demonstration on youtube
Wow thanks Bill. So kind of you to say that. Have an awesome day!!
Oh wow, amazing video!! Thank u so much for breaking this down, I have never understood how to do this right but it made so much sense the way u showed it👍
Great grip! Very helpful! What a lovely lodge in the background! Wish I was there.
I just wanted to thank you man. You literally saved my tennis ass. I had a very nice serve in a past but then there was a huge break. When I decided to get back to the game something got changed in my serve technique and I started feeling a sharp shoulder pain when serving (at the exact moment I hit a ball). I made a research and realized that there are at least a few shoulder problems that might cause the pain including impingement and so on. At the same time I received a lot of suggestions what to do from my local tennis community and people have suggested a lot of things like stretch, yoga, doctor appointment, MRI and stuff like that. But I decided to try something from my opinion more realistic and reviewed my serve technique a long with this brilliant video. And all pain has gone immediately. You are great!!!
This is exactly me right now! Took a decade break and having intense pain when I serve. Everyone telling me to do exercises and see a physio but I suspect in addition to that, it is my technique. Seeing your comment makes me feel not alone and on the right track watching this video 🤩
Love this video . Such a great explanation
Hey thank you so much. So glad you liked the video.
this Video nails it ! - Thank you Sir for perfect teaching.
Hands down best serve training video ever
Wow!!! Wonderful video! This is an exceptionally clear breakdown of a serve! As a beginner, now I’m able to notice details that I had no idea existed, before your excellent video. I’m going out to buy the birthday hats - I will have to watch this video a few times because it is filled with sequential drills. I want to try them all - “thousands of times “ ! Thank you so much!!!!
Thanks John!! I appreciate the support. Let me know how the bday hats work for you!! 😊👍🎾
@@2MinuteTennis Yes! I am going to do it! Then I'll let you know! It is a brilliant idea! I cant wait to start the exercises!
Well explained, thank you so much
Hey I’m so glad you liked it. Have an awesome day!!
You are pretty amazing Ryan - your details and meticulousness; never seen it anywhere and you have truly inspired me to persevere, never give up and reach my goal with the serve 🙏👍
An excellent way to show the proper serve grip. Leading-edge, pronation, and wrist flex/snap.
Imagine seeing a guy play tennis with a birthday hat on 🤣.
And he kicks your ass
I mean if it works for them then I’m not going to say anything about it
He’s the type of guy I wanna play against 😃😃

Came across your channel at 04:00 in the morning. Fantastic teaching on the serve. This really brings it all together.
Elbow the enemy, knock the birthday hat off the head, hit the side of the ball with the edge of the racquet! Wow!!!
This must be a thing. Because it's 4:00 am now, and I just came across this video.
Woke up at 4am and found this too! :0
Love watching your videos, really help me improve my technique and correct what I was doing wrong. Tysm
I have watched many videos about the serve and couldn't improve my serve and kept doing mistakes.
Now that I watched this amazing video I know exactly what I was doing wrong that was ruining my serve and I'm gonna do these drills to improve it.
Thanks man for this great detailed video.
The face sends it,
The path bends it.
hi bye yep! Thanks so much!!
WHILE PRACTICING, RACKET HIT TWICE ON MY HEAD VERY BADLY !!! you are an awesome coach but, finally I learned to serve ..... :)
I’ve been discouraged lately since I’ve had a really good serve for quite sometime in the beginning of my hs career, but I’ve started seeing some lack of technique with my serve. I am honestly very glad that I’ve come across this video because it overall was a really good and very intriguing video to watch. I have tryouts coming up, so hopefully I can perform this technique flawlessly :)
hands down one of the best serve videos on youtube, thanks!
Wow, excellent instructions - I am ready to eat the cake now. 😊
Been playing tennis for years, could never figure out why my serve SUCKED so bad haha! It was the grip first and foremost and everything else you pointed out step by step. Thanks so much for your help more then you know!!
Thank you for sharing these tips!
Thank you for this complete and detailed tuturial !
Amazing lesson! Thanks much Coach!
A truly useful lesson, for the first time I can fully understand the serve movements. Thank a lot, my best regards.
Thanks so much Claudio!! Appreciate the kind words. Glad the video was helpful!!
Thank you so much! You are the best one who let me really know how to serve ! So smart teaching!
Thank you so much for this. Honestly amazing. I’m a beginner to tennis and this has been the best video I’ve seen. Again, thank you.
It really works. Trust me. Like Bailey footwork, his technique is super effective. I get cosistency, power and feel my body moving with the ball. Warm thank from vietnam.
Hey thanks so much!! I really appreciate your support.
Expect to see you somedays. Do you have class on Southeast Asia
it is great,coach D
Amazing video, cangrats from Brasil!!!!!!
Wow thank you so much!! Appreciate the support!
Love this VDO!!! Thank you for the tips!!! Easy to understand! Now I’m working on my new serve!!❤️
Wow really precise instructions . I am going to save this for study 🥸
You have made me excited to practice again! Thank you.
Oh wow. What an awesome thing to happen. Well keep me posted on how it works for you! Good luck!
Always the number one. So many coaches should learn from you. Please never stop to show us tips to improve our tennis. We want also professionals tips anyway... :p Thanks

n in-depth video about the launch of the ball in the serve... Really so important for a good serve. Thanks again. EB

Most helpful serve instruction I ever heard!
Great explanation and super drill. I'm glad I found Your channel. :) sub!!
Wow thanks so much. That’s so kind of you. Thanks again
I see so many explanations where pronation is a goal. I'm not a coach but a tennis enthusiast with scientific background. Pronation in my opinion is a necessary consequence of two things: 1) you need to hit the ball with the strings; 2) you lead up to the contact with the racket edge to minimize air resistance and maximize speed. So right before contact you pronate, not because of the snapping effect (ok, it's there too) but because of the interplay of these two things.
When you cleave with an axe, do you lead up to contact with the blade and then pronate for a snapping effect? Of course not, you lead with the edge and contact with the edge, because you want to cleave. Similar with the hammer. There's no pronation going on there because pronation doesn't produce any significant effect. In tennis, pronation is not a goal either.
So no, the continental grip and the hammer motion don't "allow you to pronate". It's the other way round, pronation allows you to lead the racket with the edge and still strike the ball with the blade, not the edge.
Thanks so much for your thoughts. 👍
James Y of course he pronates precontact
@James Y You pronate to make the strings contact the ball half solidly half rubbing. Too thin contact without pronation would result in all slice spin, hardly any forwarded energy.
I have been playing tennis for years. Self taught, have a decent serve, but always look to improve and now that I have a son of playing age, I look for lessons that can be useful (as it's very different knowing what to do and TEACH it) so that I can teach him. This is one of the most comprehensive, detailed lessons on the serve that is on video. Thank you for the time and effort.
brilliant video, I picked up everything I need to do also. thanks so much
25:17 thought she had a birthday hat too.. would have been really hilarious.. lol
Guys this is the best serve tutorial ever. That would be understatement.
The birthday hat certainly stole the show.
Pearls of wisdom, thanks Ryan.
Best serving video I have seen across all platforms. Well done! 😊🎾
