Directional control on the serve is an intuitive process that is learned subconsciously very early on in a player's development. Technically speaking the direction of the ball on any shot in tennis depends only on the angle of the racquet face at the moment of contact. Because of the tremendous speed of the racquet head in the fastest part of the stroke which happens to be the contact with the ball, players are not able to manufacture the angle of the racquet at the conscious level. Aiming is accomplished by feel and through countless repetitions. A player learns to aim the serve to a specific target by simply selecting the desired location of the serve and no further thought is required. This is the only way a player will be able to accelerate the racquet to maximum speeds. If a player was to consciously aim and manufacture a certain angle of the racquet head this would only be possible by drastically reducing the speed of the racquet to feel the contact point.

Great Drill to Improve Directional Control: ua-cam.com/video/TJDxWXXHQmQ/v-deo.html
Awesome video. I can totally attest to the consciously aiming = slow serve part. Won't be doing that anymore, thank you!
Summary:
Consciously aim at the target and accelerate.
Don’t slow down whilst consciously aiming.
Thank you great video!
Great explanation,im a starter and this really helped me win more tournaments.
Well explained Nick!
Thank you Natachi
Great video !!!
Thank you Daniel
GG, ive been playing tennis recreationally for more than 10 years and aming still hasn't come to me intuitively.
100% agree.
Good.
Woow! It works
Great!
is it just me or did this video not really tell you " HOW"?
what I got is, don't slow down the serve speed, and don't aim, don't aim for perfection. didn't tell me how to hit a spot.
It’s intuitive
Only very good servers can place their serves accurately.
Hi Nick! Is it possible to read the direction of your opponent serve By watching the angle of his raquet? Trying to read you opponent directions Serves Would be a perfect topic for a next subject! Thank you for your videos!
Thank you Tiago, I will cover that topic in the near future
Should we have an Air Target Sir and if yes, should we also imagine(have an intention) what the trajectory of the ball be while serving?
Tarun J I also have this question: Aim for air target? Such as just over tape of net? Or is that not a conscious thought?
2:38 - The mindset for aiming your serve
I accept the way you describe it is the way it's done. But to me the natural way to do it is to have a serve that you always play the same way and adjust your body position to where you want the ball to go instead. Why isn't it done that way?
ezzony because your opponent will be able to read your serve every time you adjust your stance.
@@joelhammrac I have been thinking about this in the off season. The thing is the adjustment is tiny AND you can play around with different positions for slice and kick so maybe not so easy to read? Hitting the same way does have some merit for muscle memory.
Pul Mumford at a lower level, this would be great, but I doubt it’s usefulness as your opponents skill level increases. The shift in stance, no matter how minute, will register mentally with an observant opponent, even if it’s not a conscious thought (ie they may not think ‘when they turn slight this way, x serve is coming’ but it will register)
It could potentially work, but anyone with good awareness may exploit it, given they know how - and the higher level you are, the more you are likely to develop awareness and tools to exploit weakness.
I know many player who after a game will tell an opponents, who are asking for advise, something along the lines of ‘your elbow lowers when you plan to hit wide, etc.’ I myself am working on my conscious observational skills - rather than just letting instincts or subconscious observations take over - to have a more intentional aggressive play, and thus (in theory) more consistent counterpunching play
The cones are just a fun thing...to hit something. There are already painted targets...the intersections of lines. It is fun to hit cones, whether hit at their tips or bases. If hit on the upper ends, the cones don't give great feedback, as the serve may be long. I can't wait for the video on how to walk.
the cone gives precise target, wide, body and T are all general areas not exactly the corner of the line. Where would you exactly aim for a body serve without a cone?
Duh... Maybe around the mid-area between the two sidelines???
@@sergeilutzak2479 maybe a cone would help you look at a specific area in that case? Don't speak if you don't know what you're talking about
Jeff Salzenstein recommends placing two cones to designate a target area and trying to hit between the cones.
skyree and leaveme: 'look at a specific area??" - when serving you only look at a specific area before you toss the ball, not when you strike it. After striking you look at the result, and can easily see, without cones, where the heck it went, relative to your intended spot. 'Jeff Salzenstein recommends': again cones are just a fun feedback thing if you can either hit them, or hit a small gap between them, but they are not necessary. A recommendation is not an absolute.
