Incredible pointers towards the end, as tennis and MLB are my 2 favorite sports! Hitting where there’s the least resistance is a big advice I hope will help improve my serve. I also enjoyed the being able to see a rolex comment 😂
Thank you very much bro. You nailed it! Great video, great explation and thank very much for the bonus. I will make sure to watch your future videos, the quality of your info is great and stands out from other tennis channels, keep it up bro 👍
Hi would you elaborate a bit more on the "birthday hat" motion and the "edge forward" direction of the racket (before pronation). You touched a bit on it, but I am not sure how this merges with the other videos out there that focus on "kicking off" the birthday hat and leading the racket with an edge shortly before the strike?
Really nice video! This is a bit nit picking, but if you had more upper body tilt at contact (to the left), you could hit the ball right above your head or even to the left of your head (relative perpendicular to the court) and you would be able to add more spin even on a 1st serve. It would still feel like you hit the ball to the right of your head. See Sampras and Federer.
@@ramjetrth There really are no flat serves. Sampras hit his "flat" serve with over 900 rpm to the left of his head (relative to the court). It is better to have more topspin than slice on the flat serve if you hit the ball to the right of the head.
He actually does hit it above his head when he serves. His MLB pitcher analogy neglects the length of the racquet beyond your hand. The hand is to the right of your head but the face of the racquet is about above...at least on his own serve it is. That's the only way you can physically do shoulder over shoulder.
Excellent information. why do some of these ATP players toss the ball to the moon. Also, Kyrigos is said to have one of the best serves, can you break it down for us.
Interesting video but 09:35 made me wonder: is there, in your opinion, a reason why some great severs like Raonic, Sampras and Becker (also Federer) lacked the so called "back scratch" motion? Did they simply employ a technique that slightly differed biomechanically from a serve that employs the back scratch, to the point where incorporating that element would actually be a detriment even? Their serves definitely didn't lack power, either way.
All the players you mentioned use a back scratch (though that is a misleading term, you don't want to touch your back). Another way of looking at it is if you are wearing one of those cone shaped party hats you would be knocking it off your head. The reason you may not notice it as much is that advanced players keep the racket way back so that it sits a distance off their back. All will have hit the party hat off their head though, while bringing the racket back.
@@ramjetrth it's a misleading term indeed, but what I meant is this: look at the serve of someone like Ivanisevic and compare it to Becker, Sampras, Federer or Raonic. You can see Ivanisevic's racquet doing a very pronounced "loop" before going into the literal racquet drop where the hitting elbow points up. All of the players I listed end up in that position, yes, but Ivanisevic (and MOST pros, I'd say) have a pronounced loop leading up to it. Sampras, Becker etc., seem to skip the loop phase but still end up in a literal racquet drop.
Young man, if you want to earn money for a rolex then create a structured set of tutorials covering the A-Z of the fundamental techniques. You have the gift of brevity and insight to make complex movements simple to understand. That’s money right there. Get a couple cameras and set them up, learn some basic editing and You’ll be leagues ahead of the pack.
Great pointers. Audio sounds way better! Thanks for getting a good mic!
Great video. Can you do a video on kick serve as well please?
Hi this is the BEST serve lesson on UA-cam . Thank you.
It’s going to take a lot of targeted practice until it’s imprinted
Very good video and instructions. Thank you very much!

Great video thank you!
So, the next video is about kick serve, right? :)
Thank you for great videos! ❤
Great video. You mentioned atp technique - is the wta serve different?
Dude! I need to serve like that
What about pinpoint stance. How do you time the foot slide with the rest of the serve ?
Youre the best thanks a lot

Can you add some lessons for two hands backhand, like step by step?

Epic!
Does it matter if the racket is open or closed when holding the ball right at the start, some players have it flat, some open, some closed...
Loose relaxed wrist is the most important not so much racquet face position

LOL! I watched this again and saw your reference to your structured tutorial! Signed up and subscribed. Can’t wait to get into it. Cheers!
'Promo sm'
dont serve like him, his serve is horrible
What ?
