Serve myths debunked: Former Top 100 ATP Pro, Jeff Salzenstein, is exposing 3 common myths that could be crippling your serve potential. Most players make at least 1 of these 3 mistakes... Do you? goo.gl/sYqQQe
Daim...your advice looks very good. I will test it next week because my serve is very bad (no time to get lesson), I am just playing sometimes with collegues!!! Regards. Bouzid From Paris France.
Great video. But,dear Jeff,could you make a video about difference between kick and topspin serve??Are kick and topspin the same?What is the difference?? So many people are confused about it. Thanks in advance.
Just want to tell you that this tip helped me immensely. I'm able to serve now with less strain in the joints and muscle, as well as being more accurate and more powerful. Many thanks!
Today i tried this little change...well,the ball went at least 2 or 3 times faster with the same effort! i'm working now to increase the percentage of the first serves, but i'm getting the hang of it. Absolutely worth trying it!
Thank you Mr.Salzenstein. Thanks to this technique I have got a lot of benefits. I also got the same benefit in the forehand shot. Because if we keep the elbow away from the body in the forehand stroke, we get very good momentum. I got a lot of training in this video from the teacher can not give.
I would be glad to share. but I don't think they will understand the content. In spite of this, it will be useful to them later. This is really an evolutionary forehand. Thank you so much again. Greetings and regards from Adana/Turkey.
Thanks a lot for the wonderful technique as this helped me a lot, i also added one more tip to this to watch the ball till it reaches the racket. This has really helped a lot. Thanks a ton.
Since Jeff hasn't replied, I'll tell you what my coach said and that is the back of the front shoulder SHOULD face the opponent, then untwists/uncoils during the swing, watch Djok. and Fed. in slow motion they do from the start of the serve, Nadal does it, but turns away while getting in the trophy pose. It helped me a LOT! Now I'll try and incorporate Jeff's elbow....
This is best instruction on elbowing enemy to create natural power instead of pretending to drop the racquet with wrong set up in the first place. It worked well for me
Jeff - At 02.05, the elbow is high. If you serve from that high elbow, I get a huge amount of top spin. Tomic and Wawrinka normally keep elbow quite high. Changing to a lower elbow (like elbow the enemy demo) screws up the timing and top spin. I use pin point serve.
Dear Jeff, i tried to see my serve stance in a mirror ( i knew that i was doing something wrong) and i tend to raise my elbow too much.Then I tried to apply your suggestion in some full motions, and i felt two things: my scapulas trying to "touch each other", and a twist on my normal axis, like i was facing my back at the opponent. Is it normal? or i "elbowed" too much? thanks for the great advice and for your kindness!
At the end of this video, I got Jeff's ad of paying to watch this same 'elbow the enemy' trick! Looks like he forgot that he already uploaded this video way back in 2013! :D
Hey Jeff thanks so much for your videos. I'm trying to emulate Pete Sampras serve and fairly close but I think I have too much 'lag'. Did Pete elbow the enemy at the same time as the toss? Thanks
I already have problem with my elbow(golf elbow).I am worry that (elbow the enenmy) will put more pressure on my elbow and will amplified my problem. When i do kick serv it hurts less than flat serv. What do you think?
With golfers elbow it's good to try serve like Edberg did. He kept an almost straight arm for the entire service motion and it worked just fine for him. Key to keeping the arm straight is you need to lean back pretty far.

Having some one for demonstration makes it easy to understand 🙏
Awesome! Glad to help.
JEFF.. THANKS I DID SO MY PRONATION BETTER NOW AND IN A NATURAL WAY.... WORKING ON ELBOW BREAK
Amazing, let me know how it goes!
yea its crazy how much different you actually look compared to how you "think" you look. I'm in a similar situation
Jeff! You nailed it. I have been stuck on that soo called "Trophy" pose since birth. This "ETT" goes into effect immediately! Thanks :)
This tip really helped me serve better. Thanks Jeff!
it works, it really works, i was serving bombs from nowhere, but you have to train the mouvment , because it's a bit of a change

Thank you for the valuale tip, 'Elbow the Enemy. But, I think it'll take a lot of time and practice to be intnalized.
Thanks for the tip, been trying to improve.
Great tip, it worked for me. Thanks Jeff!

Thanks, coach. It's a great tip on the serve.
That video completely changed my serve , for the best. Thanks a lot, this is a game changer for me.
BenBen2351 I love it!:)
I should also add that this tips helped me rotate my body at the beginning of the serve and have my back toward the court more.
BenBen2351 exactly right !

Absolutely a Great Tip !!!!!! Thank you so much !!!!
Thx Jeff!! I once watched u play a match in Palm Springs. Close match!
Brent Waterbury awesome !
Can you help me with my backhand? Can you tell me the grip of Novak Djokovic's backhand grip
manas arora Continental? Duh?
+John L his grip is not a continent dumb
manas arora right hand continental,left hand istern forehand
This actually helped, THANKS!
I'm in the 1st category, elbow to ribs, stick pointing sky. Gonna try it next time.
this is good advice Jeff!
Nice tip. Will try it out!
Thanks! Let me know how it went!
Still, don't believe you are 40. Gotta be late 20's tops :)
great tip , simple action appreciated
Dear Jeff, i tried to see my serve stance in a mirror ( i knew that i was doing something wrong) and i tend to raise my elbow too much.Then I tried to apply your suggestion in some full motions, and i felt two things: my scapulas trying to "touch each other", and a twist on my normal axis, like i was facing my back at the opponent.
Is it normal? or i "elbowed" too much? thanks for the great advice and for your kindness!
Just tried the elbow position and i really works, Thanks
Hello Coach , Please I have a fundamental question
In the trophy position how should the racket strings be , sideways or frontal ?
Good stuff, but how come he didnt open up but instead went to elbow the enemy straight away, is that ok ?
A pro have his Elbow face down when he serves , like south . Where as this is more east or west ( depending if lefty or righty)
Hey Jeff. Is this the same idea as the “scapular loading” that pitchers use?
correct me if I’m wrong, but you use this for the full serve, not only trophy position, and kick serves too, correct?
Yes
@@TennisEvolution thank you!
Great tip and works great. Got the elbow ready, the stance, the works...now I need an enemy, jajajaja....thanks Jeff
hey good. im goin to try this
Is it the same technique for a flat serve and a top spin serve?
Yes
At the end of this video, I got Jeff's ad of paying to watch this same 'elbow the enemy' trick! Looks like he forgot that he already uploaded this video way back in 2013! :D
But nonetheless, thanks for the great tip. Will try it next time I am on court.
@@jayeshgoogle Awesome!
Hey Jeff thanks so much for your videos. I'm trying to emulate Pete Sampras serve and fairly close but I think I have too much 'lag'.
Did Pete elbow the enemy at the same time as the toss? Thanks
Those serves that Max hit seemed to have reached easily over 100 mph. Have you ever clocked his fastest serve?
i want picture and explantion for the key
Good tricks
Thx Jeff ... well done easy checkpoint
You're welcome Joseph :)
I feel I do everything right but I only serve at about 60 to early 70s MPH .
I already have problem with my elbow(golf elbow).I am worry that (elbow the enenmy) will put more pressure on my elbow and will amplified my problem. When i do kick serv it hurts less than flat serv. What do you think?

great tip, also noticed @ roland garros players doing it.
Is there something equivalent with the forehand?
thx that helped a lot.
What a power tip, Jeff! I saw immediate results with my serve. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.
Thanks to share it!.
Javi LS thank you !
Nice! Thanks!
Ohh my goodness thank you
You forgot to mention the proper grip. I'm a noob and would like to know that kind of stuff.
I know I’m probably a bit late because this was 7 years ago, but continental grip is always the right one for serves and volleys.
Great tip, but the student's elbow was too low when hitting the ball.
Absolutly Right!
andy iswandy thank you !
elbow the enemy the gr concept : my 12 yr old son should know
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yohan Urban you are welcome!
What's your point besides an indirect admission that you're probably on the down-low with Jeffie? Does she know?
he made 1 out 3 serves
thankyou !
coool
What a trite comment!
Well I do this a EVERYTIME now for my serve . I've seen
Why do you use a speech pattern at the intellectual level of a guy trying to pass a freshman speech communications course at a community college?
A for the technique observation, C for the verbal presentation skills.
from this position you want to wip the ball
I am not sure what whipping the ball means but "elbowing the enemy" is a great tip
when you wip you are obliged to elbow the enemy ...
when you wihp you are obliged to elbow the enemy ...
JEFF.. THANKS I DID SO MY PRONATION BETTER NOW AND IN A NATURAL WAY.... WORKING ON ELBOW BREAK
