I watched the old Vic Braden serve videos and this is what he teaches. I've done it now for several months with a low ball toss and have seen better results. I guess I'm not turning my shoulders before tossing the ball and that's why I'm feeling rushed. I'll have to try this next time I'm out. It should help with my 1st serve percentage. I got this!❤

@@2MinuteTennis ok, I tried it today. The turn first seems natural. I gained more power fast, but I was hitting in the net a lot. Felt like I was tossing too close, but then when I threw it in front I became unbalanced through the swing. But when it's on, it's on. I cracked a couple aces today where my opponent didn't even have time to react. Just a matter of hitting more balls at this point. Great advice, though. Thanks!

hey Coach, thanks for the Vid, but I think that you went over this many time before. ha ha. how about some single tactical strategies? Not just a simple few tactics in 5 min video, but analyzing deeply into various parts in many videos. A tactic by tactic, play by play...etc. That would be really helpful, Coach. thanks always.

Good tips, and I also recommend a lower toss for better consistency. Most people toss too high, then trying to hit the ball when it's accelerating downwards is a real issue. I will quibble with the j-shape motion of the toss. I don't recommend that for most players. Turn and rotate to your back foot but the toss should be almost entirely upward to the trophy position as weight is being transferred forward. The ball should land slightly into the court but doesn't need to be a j-shape. This is too complicated for most players.
@parkerkitterman78162 ай бұрын
You're a morron if you think a ball slowly accelerating downwards (that you tossed yourself) is any more difficult to hit. It's literally easier than hitting a slow feed which any toddler can do without thinking. Tossing higher gives you more time to properly go through your full kinetic chain and thus makes you more consistent and forgiving in all the parts that actually matter. Low toss is a garbage pseudo-intellectual idea that kills the proper full serve technique for more people than it helps.

@drdickenbalz take a look at what I mean by lower ball toss. This seems ideal, where the toss is just above the hitting zone. Much higher (where many recreational players and eveb pros esp. women) leads to inconsistency in the toss and hitting zone.

@@parkerkitterman7816 Have you been playing tennis for 30 years with 20 grand slams under your belt? My point is that you do not try to copy the end result from a player who has already gotten to the point where he has all the muscle memory and timing in place to afford to lower his ball toss. Copying that lower toss without your proper serve kinetic chain in place is putting the cart in front of the horse, and is as dumb as thinking the way to become rich is to spend money on fancy cars just because you see all the rich people doing it.

The reason that happens is bc you’re trying to hit too flat/toss isn’t to the right enough/and you’re swinging too much toward your target. Work on hitting a lot of sidespin, Toss to the right, and swing way off to the right. You’re changing the grip bc you’re trying to hit too flat.
