how fast can you serve?

[IT WAS IN!!!]

also say your age group.
I myself hit a slice first serve at 85-95 mph.
flat i hit 105 mph.
I am 14, 6'0"

[Andres]

As I've stated in other thread.

"I'm averaging 6 mph on a good day... 12 mph, if it's windy, on my favour. But I did clocked one 171 mph once. I think it was a fluke"

[KBalla08]

the hardest ive had clocked was 106, but i know ive hit harder

[aznobct]

i'm 17 and 5 '11. fastest that got clocked was 108 if i remember right...but that was 2 years ago, so i'm not sure how fast it is now.

[babolat15]

im 13 and ive never gotten on a gun so i dont really kno

[mJeez4293]

15 and around 110

[Andres]

^^ It amazes me how 15 years old kids can serve 110s, while I'm 6'4'', been PLAYING almost 15 years, and struggle to hit consistant 110s in a match.

How can MOST 15 years old (in these boards), with a 15 years old physique and height, hit a flat 110 serve IN, it's out of my understanding :p

Of course, 95% of them are braggers. Or simply have no idea.

[Sakumo]

I'm lucky to get over 40, u know, lol ;) I can bang them into the 130's when needed, but keep them steady on first serves around one teens most of the time.

[Sakumo]

It has all to do with leg power and torque from the abs. I am fairly skinny, and I have one of the biggest serves on the ITF tour. It doesn't matter if you have guns for arms, it's all in the technique, and whip form the racket.

[zcj41]

I'm pretty sure I can slap 130's tops, but my serve as well as the rest of my game is not nearly as complete and refined as yours. Having a big serve is a huge advantage, but being able to use it effectively, while incorporating slice and kickers to throw opponents off (as you said), is where having a big serve becomes very effective.

Exactly, you barely see roddick hitting the 150's because flat isn't always as affective as a huge kick or spinning like sampras serves. But I always start out with huge serves with less spin, then when they start catching on, I hit more angles and kick.

[mhstennis100]

I can hit them around 105 maybe, but not consistently. I'd say in a match I average around 90 for first serves.

[chris1992]

my serve is the weakest area of my game. generally use spinny ones on both my 1st and 2nd serve. im a lefty so the ad court, out wide serve is v.effective. i would say 90 tops and if i hit flat 95?

[Jonnyf]

Fasted i've had recorded is low 100's but I know I can hit harder.

I've played sets with the gun and can hit 95+ on flat serves very consistantly

[NebAce1]

Right now my serve is one of my weakest parts of my game. Probably in the 90's, but if I go for my hardest maybe I can get up in the hundies, but not consistently. Right now I'm just going for control, and hopefully when I reach a taller height my serve will get better. Oh and I'm 14 by the way.

[iplaybetter]

im 13 and ive never gotten on a gun so i dont really kno

same, but i think its prity fast

[ycode]

I got someone to film me, and I did the counting frames trick (don't know how accurate it is, but I heard it's usually pretty close). I found my flat first serve was like 73 consistently. I know it sucks, but I haven't worked on my serve much (I know I need to). Also, I'm 13 and 5'10

[Voltron]

I don't know how fast right now, as my arm is kinda ****ed up. We'll see in a few weeks.

[thejackal]

18, i can hit around 100 (one bounce to the fence and still rising). got high 80s in a batting-cage type thing in sandals and with a cheap racket last year.

[mJeez4293]

the thread was how fast can u serve... not average, id say id average 90's first serve in a match. i only said i got up to around 110 on a gun

[FEDEX1]

mines probably high 50's possibly low 60's. I just got a coach to help me and its really improved my serve from what it was before(crap) and hopefully will improve a lot in the near future.

[TennisNinja]

I'm 13 (14 in June) 5' 10" and can hit a serve in the high 90's (Usually in 60-75 mph range). I've only had my serve clocked a few times, so I don't know for sure though.

[PrinceDiablo525]

I am 16 years old, about 5'11, maybe 6 ft, and the fastest I've been clocked is about 90 mph I think but that was about 2 years ago. On a good flat serve I am guessing about 105 mph, but my usual slice or top spin serve is about 85-90 mph.

[FEDEX1]

o ya im 14 turning 15 in july and about 5"6 110 pounds but strong legs

[EasternRocks]

i'm only 11 but i have a big serve for my age, at least wat i think.
my first serve is 75-80.
second serve is like 50-60...

(on a good day though)
if im not serving well, its not to good...

[ChuDat]

im 16 years old and i can hit a serve between 20 mph-70 mph. my accuracy is 80% with a flat, 50% with topspin/kick and 40% with slice. been playing for 2 years only. i've been busy with alot of school work and havent been playing for about 2 months, i played yesterday at lost to my friend whos a #1 jv. 7-5 4-6 3-0(Retired match). started to feel pain in my shoulder so i stopped the match

[cereal]

two days ago I clocked 129 but consistently 118-123 mph

[timm]

i can hit over 111 for a first serve, im 14 almost 15 and 5'9

[Sakumo]

Lol I took out my gun the other day with a friend, and we were trying to see how slow we could serve overhand and get it in. I hit one like 15 MPH it was pretty amusing.

[herosol]

110's up in here?
lets all go play professional ATP tennis now shall we!!

lol. you guys always bring some humor to my daily life.
anyways me?

70-80 AT MOST. and thats just occasionally. all truth.
i really have nothing to say. im 15. 5'10 been playing for what? 8 months at most?

you guys. wow. you guys must all be prodigies. all power to you.

[Freedom]

Honestly, I have no idea. I don't serve fast, I serve effectively. At the high school level, being able to hit a kick serve that actually kicks is such a weapon...I get more free points off my second serve than my first, unless I kick the first serve as well.

I can hit the back fence (maybe 8 feet from baseline) on one bounce from flat, and I can hit the bottom of the fence on one bounce with the kick.

[z-money]

years ago on a windy day i hit a spinner @ 115. but on a fast indoor court, making real good contact(flat) i know its a bit higher maybe 10mph faster. i serve an average of about 115 though

[z-money]

at my club our backstop is 17 feet back. i can hit it on one bounce with any of my serves. the best ones(flat) hit @ 3+ feet. kickers usually lower. slices sometimes 3

[EuroMagnum]

also say your age group.
I myself hit a slice first serve at 85-95 mph.
flat i hit 105 mph.
I am 14, 6'0"

Switch the radar gun from K to MPH ;)

[Sakumo]

Switch the radar gun from K to MPH ;)

Uhh? I could hit 110 when I was 14 not that big of a deal buddy. Not like it's impossible or anything.

[Voltron]

Uhh? I could hit 110 when I was 14 not that big of a deal buddy. Not like it's impossible or anything.
It's not, I'm sure, but based on that, even though my arm is...damaged, I shall rate my serve as 144 MPH on average. ;)

[Sakumo]

It's not, I'm sure, but based on that, even though my arm is...damaged, I shall rate my serve as 144 MPH on average. ;)

damn boy ;) No, but I had been playing since I was 4. And I was top in nation by that time. I'm just saying it's not like it's impossible for that kid to be hitting 105.

[Voltron]

damn boy ;) No, but I had been playing since I was 4. And I was top in nation by that time. I'm just saying it's not like it's impossible for that kid to be hitting 105. I know it's possible, and I've played people in my age group that can serve considerably harder than 110, I wonder how fast I can serve, hmm, I guess I'll just have to wait a few weeks.

[trantrios]

lol i hit about 30 mph probably :(

[zcj41]

I know it's possible, and I've played people in my age group that can serve considerably harder than 110, I wonder how fast I can serve, hmm, I guess I'll just have to wait a few weeks.

Yeah, there are definitely fourteen year olds hitting 115mph, even up to the high 120´s (obviously only the best of the best)

[BigBUBBA]

Yeah, there are definitely fourteen year olds hitting 115mph, even up to the high 120´s (obviously only the best of the best)

certainly. So how is Copa Cristal ZC?

[TalkingTennis91]

I was clocked at 83 mph back when I was using my nCode 90 with a Gut/Poly hybrid.

Now that I've gone back to Babolat Pure Drives, who knows? :)

[Master666]

Yea im 6'4" and 16

i was clocked hitting a 120-125 (in on hard court)
and on my second serve 85-90 (/\)

[kingdaddy41788]

Most of you are full of sh*t. It's completely ludicrous.

p.s. Placement matters, not speed.

[Sakumo]

It's not hard to hit the 120's. A lot of people just have S*** for technique.

[kingdaddy41788]

It's not hard to hit the 120's. A lot of people just have S*** for technique.

Wrong. It's not hard to hit in the 120's if you're like 6'1" or taller. Some of us have other angles to worry about. And I find it hard to believe these teenagers all have great technique, sorry.

A guy i know in 8th grade hits 115 lol

[kingdaddy41788]

A guy i know in 8th grade hits 115 lol

According to who? Him? Come on!

[mJeez4293]

king daddy i agree but i must say it is not impossible for teens. for example most top ranked sectional and national kids can serve at elast 100 by 14 yrs or older.

[kingdaddy41788]

100 is very different from 110 which is very different from 120...

[Sakumo]

According to who? Him? Come on!

When I was in 8th grade I was hitting in the 1 teen's consistently. I was also just starting to play ITF though.

[Sakumo]

100 is very different from 110 which is very different from 120...

Actually I really can't tell the diff when returning, I can when serving though. When I play in the bigger tourneys I look at the clock a lot, because it's my way to calm down, so I almost always know what is coming at me. It's a way to help me forget about the point and focus on the next.

[kingdaddy41788]

When I was in 8th grade I was hitting in the 1 teen's consistently. I was also just starting to play ITF though.

If you really are playing ITF (the only reason I find it hard to believe is because SO many people on here lie about their level, and a few about who they are) then that's believable. My friend played ITF tournaments as well when he was 14/15 and served about that fast.

[mJeez4293]

i said at least kingdaddy, i am and also know of many who can get into the 110's+

[kingdaddy41788]

What I mean is that being able to consistently serve 100 is much easier than consistently serving 110 which is much easier than consistently serving 120. It takes hard work to reach each level, and the difference, as you've said, is not much to the returner.

[Sakumo]

Wrong. It's not hard to hit in the 120's if you're like 6'1" or taller. Some of us have other angles to worry about. And I find it hard to believe these teenagers all have great technique, sorry.

I haven't played in one tourney when I saw someone and thought their serve was ugly. I do play with younger players a lot to help them get match experience and I've seen some ugly stuff.

[Sakumo]

yea I agree it takes a lot to get consistent at that level.

[mJeez4293]

not everyone can consistently serve in that speed, but many can occasionally reach it... due to the fact that 10 mph isnt necessary

[kingdaddy41788]

yea I agree it takes a lot to get consistent at that level.

I just think that MOST of these posters are not ITF level juniors, and I don't see them backing up a lot of what they say here if challenged. That's all. I think most of them haven't put in the hard work it takes to back up their claims.

[mJeez4293]

some of us are at least national or sectional players, and shouldnt be underrated of our abilities... we just may start itfs

[Bronc10is]

I am a college tennis player, Id say there are times during the match I hit in the 1 teens, i am 6'1..but i find that even on the very good programs, they have few kids that can hit in the 120s so I dont believe that juniors do unless they are ITF players

[drakulie]

not one of you hits anything over 90 >>> so stop lying.

[Sakumo]

I just think that MOST of these posters are not ITF level juniors, and I don't see them backing up a lot of what they say here if challenged. That's all. I think most of them haven't put in the hard work it takes to back up their claims.

That is true. A lot of the people saying they can hit the 120's are lying, but I'm not surprised a lot of juniors can hit 100, at the 4.5 level.

[Sakumo]

not one of you hits anything over 90 >>> so stop lying.

You want to take a bet on that;) ? I know cereal can. And I know I can.

[drakulie]

^^^^ I could hit 140 mph


kick serve

[drakulie]

That is true. A lot of the people saying they can hit the 120's are lying, but I'm not surprised a lot of juniors can hit 100, at the 4.5 level.

most adults in the 4.5, and even 5.0 level don't consitently hit 100.

[Sakumo]

^^^^ I could hit 140 mph


kick serve

Dude I hit a 90 MPH second serve, if you seriously don't think I play ITF ask mJeez4293 or cereal.

[drakulie]

OK, I'll call them right now. what is their phone number?

[Sakumo]

most adults in the 4.5, and even 5.0 level don't consitently hit 100.

I wouldn't expect this from your drakulie. Judging from a post isn't like you. Remember when you had to post your vids because no one would believe you. Some people on these boards don't lie. And there is about 4 or 5 ppl on this board who really do play ITF.

[Sakumo]

OK, I'll call them right now. what is their phone number?

heck if I know, but if you want to give me your MSN or such we can talk and I will give you my name. But don't judge on a post.

[Sakumo]

And don't think your the first person who has BSed me. Your not alone. But I would appreciate it if you would talk to me privately before you flame.

[drakulie]

sakumo, I apologize for being harsh.

But, I'm not judging by posts. and actually I didn't necessarily post my vid because people didn't believe me, rather because too many people were saying the same crap they are saying here. >>> so unlike many here > I put "my money where my mouth is" and backed up my claims". I'm quite certain there are many on these boards who could top the 110 mark.

However, judging from my own experience, many, many true 5.0 players (adults) can't even hit 100+. However, they have nasty spin serves, and unbelievable placement. 4.5's usually can't even break 90+ in match conditions.

[Sakumo]

It's alright, no hard feelings. There are about 4 of us who know each other from ITF matches where we have played with or against each other. That is our back up. I don't doubt that 5.0's can't hit 100's, but I do know some 4.5's I have worked with on my old HS team last year on their serve and can now break the 100's. (We do have a radar gun so this is not guessed.) But I know that some of us on here do just want to give our honest opinion and advice and get thrashed. I understand that in a match it is harder to max out your serve, but I can promise you I have looked at the clock in matches at the orange bowl and French open this/last week and have cracked the 120's. I'm not trying to be cocky or such, but I am just trying to point out that there are some of us who do play at a high level. But I do understand that a TON of people lie on here. So I get why you BSed me.

[drakulie]

sakumo, where do you play now?

[Sakumo]

sakumo, where do you play now?

I am still in France for the Jr French. But I am heading home after the French is done. I like to watch the pro's play.

[drakulie]

sounds like a great experience. Have fun. Enjoy the rest of the matches. Peace!

[Sakumo]

sounds like a great experience. Have fun. Enjoy the rest of the matches. Peace!

Yea, it is fun for sure. The GS are so much fun. Just the way tournament directors treat the players is great. If you can go down there and try to qualify, you should for sure. It is great. C ya.

[chris1992]

i hit around 95-100 and im 15 so its not that great but i tend to hit topspin or kick. im a lefty and gradually getting power from my legs but need some help hitting flat as the way i turn my body i find it hard to get the racket head flat onto the ball, but i have some nice placement which gets me aces.

[rinz]

did you make it to the main draw of the juniors Sakumo?

[Sakumo]

did you make it to the main draw of the juniors Sakumo?

Yeah I did.

[rinz]

cool, how much do you play a day and are you going to play in kalamazoo this year?

[WhiteSox05CA]

Haha, yeah right. Nadal's second serve is in the 80mphs.

[Vims]

16yrs
getting 120+ regularly in matches
just do bare thera-bands right stuff

[Andres]

No. That's not happening.
You must have seen it on TV though. Probably watching Boris Becker winning wimby at 17.

[mJeez4293]

15 yrs 5'11

can get up to 110, u believe me?

[Sakumo]

Haha, yeah right. Nadal's second serve is in the 80mphs.

I serve harder then Federer does, doesn't mean it's as accurate. Same with Nadal. There are people who are 15 and hit second serves harder then pros do. Pro's second serves ARE NOT HARD. They kick over your head and are accurate mostly to your weaker shot.

Know what your talking about before you try to flame someone.

[Andres]

That's cause you have never seen Wesley Moodie averaging 110 mph on his 2nd serve, and getting a 6 feet kick ;)

[Sakumo]

That's cause you have never seen Wesley Moodie averaging 110 mph on his 2nd serve, and getting a 6 feet kick ;)

Are you kidding? That is ridiculous. Then there is also Isner who hits in the 100's for a second serve.

[jasoncho92]

According to who? Him? Come on!
Hes 6' 1" and 170 lbs. He got clocked by his coach lol

EDIT// I can get in 90s but i hit 70s to get them in more

[Andres]

Are you kidding? That is ridiculous. Then there is also Isner who hits in the 100's for a second serve.
Moodie has, probably, the best 2nd serve on the tour.
The guy is a BEAST.

http://championships.wimbledon.org/en_GB/scores/stats/day2/1017ms.html

Wimbledon, 1st round, against Nalbandian

Can't load the USO page, but averaged around 109 against Nadal on his 1st round loss.

Has clocked serves over 140. 118 as an average looks too low for my taste. That guy's serve is a bomb.

No. That's Guccione. 6'7' and lefty.
This one is no slouch. Southafrican, but 6'5'' (almost 6'6')

[sharapovafreak]

6'0.5 near 6'1 and i can hit the serves from 100-107 mph and thats it unless my rotator cuff gets better. But on average my serve speed is around 90-95.

[ChuDat]

i can clock a 85 mph first serve and a 50 mph 2nd. still trying to get back were i was before. which was a 100 mph 1st and a 80 mph 2nd.
im only 5'6. my serve will go in about %85 of the time

[kingdaddy41788]

Hes 6' 1" and 170 lbs. He got clocked by his coach lol

EDIT// I can get in 90s but i hit 70s to get them in more

First of all, if he's in eighth grade and he' 6'1" and weighs 170 lbs., he's a BEAST. Second, I still don't buy it without some sort of video.

[Andres]

Didn't Moodie play Monfils at the US Open last year?
Yeah, that's right. Nadal faced Philippoussis first. Then Moodie. I think. The USO website is not working here :p

[Infl8edEg0]

I'm 15 at 5'4" (Yeah, I'm short, lol). My first serves go around 95ish on average. My record is 101, clocked.

[topspin_17]

i think this is another thread to brag your skill on? well i went to masters cup shanghai last year (2006) with my friend and they had an indoor speed-timer thingy... it was pretty darn cold out there, and even in the tents. i clocked 140km/h wearing jeans, and a sweater with the test racket they had, the nFury. in mph, that's about 86.991 966 913 mile/hour (done on onlineconversion.com) so i have proof of my achievement!

[NebAce1]

Yeah, that's right. Nadal faced Philippoussis first. Then Moodie. I think. The USO website is not working here :p

Yea I was there when he played Monfils. It was a great match. Moodie has a great serve, and some nice volleys.

[EasternRocks]

nebace, how fast can u serve since you came up with this paticular thread?

[NebAce1]

nebace, how fast can u serve since you came up with this paticular thread?

I didn't come up with this thread. But I serve in about the 90's.

[WhiteSox05CA]

Haha, what I stupid thread. Now I remember why I never post in the junior section!

[Sakumo]

Haha, what I stupid thread. Now I remember why I never post in the junior section!

Is it because there are juniors who would double bagel you? ;)

[LarougeNY]

I have to get back in the flow of things, this whole sat II and regents and finals month is really screwing with my tennis. I used to get high up into the 90s on flat serves, probably around 70-75 for spins, maybe even 80 if I really hit a slice hard.

Might not be able to serve again for a while, my shoulders been killing me (and its not tennis, haven't played in 3 weeks). Feel like an oldman.

ohhhh siht.

[jasoncho92]

First of all, if he's in eighth grade and he' 6'1" and weighs 170 lbs., he's a BEAST. Second, I still don't buy it without some sort of video.
Well that isnt that big for an eighth grader and it really wont kill me if you dont believe me

[mJeez4293]

its big... but not unheard of, always a few in each school

[NebAce1]

Yea it's big, but there are plenty of kids even bigger. A kid in my school is 6'2.5''.

[babolat15]

Sakumo could you post a video of you playing, I just want to see what ITF material looks like

[Sakumo]

I can, I would rather just send you a vid though. I don't want everyone to know who I am as I've said. Let me get around to video taping myself. Or I will ask my coach to do it. It's been a while, so it will take me a week or two to remember to do it then remember to post it lol.;)

[mJeez4293]

whos ur coach?

[Borat]

Haha, what I stupid thread. Now I remember why I never post in the junior section!

Haha, amen to that. I would garuntee that none of you can serve what you say you can except the modest people. Upper 90's or 120's at 15 and under 5'10" is very rare. Pure bullocks.

[Borat]

no, probably cuz you guys are idiots

[jasoncho92]

Coming from the guy whos username is Borat.

ur just in denial... probably cuz u werent a talented junior with somewhat of a future

[Sakumo]

Don't worry about him Mjeez. Some people are just so low on the food chain in the tennis world, you just don't care what they think. You gotta get used to it, there will be people who hate and like, and you just gotta blow them off your shoulder. Stick with your friends they know the truth, these jealous peeps just want to flame.

No, your wrong. Many juniors serve anywhere from the 80's to the 110's or 120's.

[Sakumo]

Again don't waste breath. Read my post above yours

[MEAC_ALLAMERICAN]

20, My fastest on a gun was 111 mph.

[kingdaddy41788]

Where are you from that that isn't big for an 8th grader???? That's somewhat big for everyone, considering average height is around 5'10" or 11"

[NebAce1]

I think what he meant to say was that there are many 8th graders that are 6'0'' and taller.

[topspin_17]

amen to borat and whitesox... 120 mph at 15 is almost impossible. even andy roddick couldnt achieve that at 15.

[Sakumo]

Andy at 15 wasn't 6 2' or was he very strong. I see ton's of 16 and 17's hitting 120's.

Edit: Emmet Eggar (SP?) hits 110s and he is 14. When I was 14 I was hitting the 110's easily.

[xtremerunnerars]

Hmm...maybe 90? Idk...whatever it is...it's too fast for the crappy people I usually get stuck playing around here.


I really need to get over this wrist stuff quickly!

I was only 5' 6" when i was an eighth grader but i knew a lot of guys were were past 6 feet

[Sakumo]

Yea I think I was like 5 8' or 9'

[JayxTheKoolest]

^^ It amazes me how 15 years old kids can serve 110s, while I'm 6'4'', been PLAYING almost 15 years, and struggle to hit consistant 110s in a match.

How can MOST 15 years old (in these boards), with a 15 years old physique and height, hit a flat 110 serve IN, it's out of my understanding :p

Of course, 95% of them are braggers. Or simply have no idea.

I know it is amazing, especially since all the 15 year olds I play against say the same thing and struggle to hit 75mph.

[westside]

I'm 15 and my first serve is 130km (got it radared at the australian open) and that's 80mph. I think it is a little faster now.

not all 15 year olds are high level tournament players...

Hmm, I should get my serve clocked again. By the way, I don't think I can quite serve 110. Maybe, just maybe I can hit 105. My arm is still bad. Oh, some 15 year olds aren't small, like you probably think. (IE I'm 15, 6' 2", 180 lbs)

yea a lot of people possibly stop growing at 15 once they get pretty tall

[Voltron]

yea a lot of people possibly stop growing at 15 once they get pretty tall That is possible, we'll see.

[Mastermind]

I'm 17 and the fastest that I've had clocked was 113 at a local club. They had a gun at the Tennis Channel Open this year but I really doubt that it was accurate. They had us serve into a net and the gun was pointing at the net. I believe when the professionals get clocked they measure the speed of the racquet head at contact point?

[Silentgunz]

mine was 81 mph but im pretty sure the radar thing was wrong, our coach doesnt know where to put that thing at it was like a flat screen thing that scans it.

Yup the measure it right off the head.

[Big Fed]

I got clock at 111 but i cant hit it consitantly. And im 15 at 5'6

[tennishead93]

14's hit first serves usually at around 85-90. if im feeling luckey 100. second serves usually 70-75ish

[tennispr()]

my first serve is very well placed it it goes approximately 5.549694 mph
my second serve is way slower than my first serve its at 3.32 mph im trying to get it to 4 mph but i cant muster enuf strength to get .68 miles more

[nyaa]

I've never measured my serving speed but it my worst part of my game, I'd estimate around 50mph. It's just pretty well placed. I've never had serving lessons or anything though, hopefully will soon.

So you're pretty even with me!! :D

As I've stated in other thread.

"I'm averaging 6 mph on a good day... 12 mph, if it's windy
