Excellent video. I suggest 2 other check points might be worth considering. 1. When the tossing arm starts to go down the the body starts to fire upwards from the legs, the chest is facing upwards at trophy phase. Pat Dougherty, aka as The Serve Doctor, at IMG academy stresses chest up. and 2. Almost all good servers have the hitting hand outside of ball contact when viewed from the back. The angle is like the slash \ for a right handed server. This angle applies to flat, slice and kick serves and the angle is most extreme on kick serves. For an extreme example of chest up, go watch a video of McEnroe in his prime. He gets a severe upward chest angle by bending at the knee. Chest up and the hand outside the ball at contact also help with shoulder impingement. You might want to add these to your check points. It might be cool to see a video on how to adapt the serve motion for older players such as using the old keep 1 foot on the ground and stepping up and in with the back leg, or you can simply pivot on the back foot. Older players and injured players really aren't going to spring up off the ground.
perfect tipps, thank you so much. i often hit the ball with a bend arm, i mean not at the highest possible point. how to fix that? allt the best, kiesbett
Thanks so much. It’s usually due to the toss being too high. Seems counterintuitive, but when your toss is high, and you wait for it to come down, you end up waiting too long and then the ball drops too low and you hit with a bent arm. Try tossing lower and attempting to hit the toss as it’s rising (not easy to do but it’ll give you the right mental picture). I bet this fixes it once and for all.
@@2MinuteTennis Thank you for your answer Ryan, i will try it! Although you are right, it sounds counterintuitive and under pressure i tend to toss too low and lose rhythm then...
NICE! Eight Big Check Points! You showed a great pause/pic with the racket dropped down his side (scratch your partners back) and not down the middle of the back. I struggle with the strings pointing down at this point. Is some of the pointing down shown coming from the side bend and shoulder angle? It looks like the racket edges are parallel with his side. When I do the laso movement it feels like I stress my arm at the end of the circle (Im 66 years old, but still fairly agile once I get loosened up). Any suggestions for my laso?
@@innocentbystander6 Thank you. You're right that he hits then ball at his maximum height as shown by his wrist band. His feet do however continue to rise after contact.

Yep. I’ve mentioned those tips in numerous videos over the years. Thanks!

Very interesting thing happens when i lead my elbow with the wrong side of the racquet ! Magically increased power and spin!
I think I might have been there at this practice 😂
His legs continue to rise after contact, showing that he is going up as he hits.
He’s actually just hanging in the air when he hits. Check out his cap. It stays at the same height and location through contact.

@@paulmarcil6221 Yes, it’s part of the trunk flexion. Federer has a more pronounced leg action during this phase of the serve.
