Hey EH, You are about to get a killer serve, dude. First, let me back up real quick. Stand a little further back from the baseline if you are worried about foot faults, and that will take care of itself. You only need to do ONE THING, and one thing only to get the serve you want...

Hey Eph, Looks like you are coming along! I can see that you are attempting to unload from your right side; it won't be long before your figure this out. You're very close. Q: What grip are your using on your serve? Go to YouTube.com Search for Coach Kyril Scroll down and watch...

Thanks for your kind words. When I'm not running around the country teaching private clients, I teach at one main and a couple other "super-duper-uber-secret" locations here in Wisconsin. Are you teaching at Congressional? Nice place. Keep up the good work with the podcasts! Make It...

Hey Sentinel, I don't know which videos of mine you have seen so far, but this one I did should show you the 'last moment thing' pretty clearly: http://coachkyriltennis.blogspot.com/2008/04/how-you-can-hit-power-serve-part-2.html All The Best, Coach Kyril

Hey In D Zone, Glad the videos helped. Let us all know how things go for you as the 'tennis season' progresses. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help. Make It A Great Day! - Coach Kyril

Hi PackardDell, One thing I noticed with my students and clients, is that when they focused on keeping the head still and looking at the ball - all the way through the stroke - they hit the ball better; but did not enjoy the 'experience' of doing so as much as when I allowed them to 'look...

Hi nytennisaddict, Thanks for your kind words, and you are quite welcome. "A-ha" moments are fun ones, no doubt! Happy to hear things are getting better for you on your serve. One thing to remember as far as 'losing pace' goes is this (and I don't understand why a lot more pros...

Hey Sentinel, Not different from pronation at all. What Anchorage has happily (congratulations again!!!) figured out is what I teach my students (who are ready): Fast forearm and wrist pronation AT THE LAST MOMENT before contact. Also, keeping your grip and arm 'loose', like a 'rag'...

Hey Anchorage - You have hit the nail on the proverbial head! I'm so happy when I see people 'get it'! While there has always been 'debate' as to the best ways to do it, the efficient storing of potential energy and efficient release of kinetic energy is THE key to a powerful serve. Your...

Keep an eye out...there just might be, now that you're asking for it :) All The Best, Coach Kyril

Well, clearance should never be a problem with the kick serve. Here's where things can be made really simple, but tend to get ugly if you don't have a clear concept of the way the racket contacts the ball to make it 'kick'. Think of it this way: You know how pro golfers on TV, when you're...

Hey Sentinel, I would have to say that the whole package starts with pronation. After that, I learning to 'unload' from the right side of the body (doing the one-legged drills to get the feel) would follow. Lastly, an efficient 'loading' and 'unloading' of your potential (stored) energy and...

Maybe later on, but right now I'm working on some other videos per requests. Don't know if you gotta chance to see the YouTube vids, but there's a lot there that will help you with the kick; just scroll through all of them and watch when you get a chance. Oh yeah - get out there and...

Hey Sentinel - I sure hope I haven't deleted them! I went to my blog just now and all appears to be working fine. Could be your browser; I know the videos play in explorer and firefox,; not sure about netscape. All the videos are up on YouTube, so you can just go there and type in...

Hey Everybody, Alright dudes; listen up: I'm not 'hawking' anything here. I put out FREE videos to help people for FREE on my blog - and on YouTube. Just because there is a small advert on the right side of my blog page for my product does not make me a shill. Yes, there is a web...

Outstanding advice, Bungalo Bill! Hey Rams - Make sure to print out Bungalo Bill's post and refer to it often. Understanding - and implementing - the concepts he has given you will solve your problem quicker than any 'lesson' could. - Coach Kyril

Hey Babar, That is an EXCELLENT plan you have. The more you are able to track your results, the more you are able to dissect them and learn form them. I don't know how many replies you'll actually get to this thread (probably not a TON), but that's because every level of tennis requires a...

Hey Rams, I wrote an article on this 'stealing time' from a 'better player' a while back. I think there may be a few things in there that would help you out with your situation. You can view the article here: http://ezinearticles.com/?How-Do-You-Beat-A-Better-Tennis-Player?&id=988929 All...

Hey Everybody, I replied to a couple of posters looking for help with their serve, but figured I'd just start a new thread here. For anyone who's interested, I've put up quite a few free 'mini-lesson' videos that explain and demonstrate the serve on my blog...
