serve

I recently started serving this way and it is working so well for me in terms of consistency. I basically focus on keeping my racquet on edge almost all the way to contact at which point the racquet probably opens slightly. I do this on first serves only. The resulting ball has decent pace and...

Hey Guys, I'm looking to simplify my motion and get more pop off my serve, it has a lot of height coming off the bounce but I'd like to increase the pace and simplify the motion for easier targeting. My coach has said it takes to long for me to get into trophy position hence why I toss so high...

I'd like to thank everyone who commented on my last vid. I spent 10 minutes or so trying implement all of your guys' suggestions before I took this vid and I figured it might take a good bit repetition to adjust my muscle memory, so I'll put some more time into it later. Anyways, to everyone who...

Sam Groth's form has always interested me because of its uniqueness and because it produced the fastest serve in tennis history. Things I've picked up on: He hits ball at the apex of the toss His tossing arm is bent His feet point away from the baseline when he uncoils and goes into his serve...

Ignore the foot fault. I've been working on coiling and generating more power from my lower half.

Has anyone researched into how accurate the serve speeds are with the latest Head Zepp sensor? Also, what is the Heaviness parameter about?

Hi all, this is a follow-up post from earlier where I got some great pointers from the forum! Earlier service motion and thread found here: https://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/index.php?threads/serve-inconsistency-serve-feedback.652234/#post-13724412 I went out and focused on going straight to my...

My thoughts: Before toss, I purposefully put the left foot widely behind, but the look is so foolish. Toss height OK? Before trophy position, The right foot steps in too much, crossing the left foot. Jeff Salzenstein of Tennis Evolution often reminds viewers not to do so or the serve will be...

Putting aside technique, what factors affect first serve speeds specifically: 1) old balls vs new balls 2) poly vs hybrid 3) tension 4) other?

Lord have mercy

I posted an earlier thread around my struggle with serving consistently. When my serve is in, it's definitely a strength at the level I'm playing at (3.5). However, I don't have a serve that I can absolutely rely on unless I do something ridiculous like lob serve or drop shot serve. I was able...

Hi, I recently tested and compared the Tecnifibre TFight vs. Yonex Vcore both at 305g and 98 inches head size. Both racquets were tuned with the same amount of lead tape at 3 and 9. Both racquets had the same strings and tension and OG. I tested them the same day on the same indoor hard court...

In every field of study, certain publications have significantly changed understanding. This is the most important publication for the tennis serve. Long-axis rotation: The missing link in proximal-to-distal segmental sequencing (2000) Robert N. Marshall, Bruce C. Elliott...

Here is Brody Stevens throwing some pitches out on a court. What the heck, its different. Dementieva throws at 0:41.

How often does this type of thing happen? I am sure it must happen, but probably exceedingly rare in finals? Can anyone list some examples besides Federer vs. Isner at Miami Final in 2019? Also, what examples are there of a higher percentage of points won on serve than 32/35 = ~91.4% in a match?

Which do you do? 1. Dropping the toss arm as if solely by gravity. 2. Actively pushing it down by your force. 3. = 2. plus actively pushing down the toss shoulder as well so as to raise the racquet shoulder

Someone posted a while back about why pros need coaches and what they actually work on (but I couldnt seem to find it) — it was interesting to see this video posted by the hitting partner as they go over movement on ROS to prep for Kevin Anderson. (Wasn't sure if I should have posted this here...

We all know that yellow is a valid return, by rule 25c. The path can of course be curvy (blue). But a service must pass over the net, by rule 17. Purple is a service fault. I am not saying this difference is a bug. The related rules are free of contradictions. They have the right to choose...

Here's a video of me serving (you can slow down the playback speed and itll still play smoothly) I'm looking to improve my serve, but I'm not quite sure where to start. I'm trying to emulate Raonic's serve a bit, (at least from where the racket is curled up at the start), but not sure what...

I commonly like to watch tennis videos of pros in court level view. After watching videos of Andy Murray play I wonder why he flails his left arm up after serving (second serve). He doesn't always do this. Is it for balancing purposes or something else?

His serve has improved a lot. Yesterday : 18 aces to Isner's 10. If you think that's because Isner isn't a good returner, Zverev's first serve had more average speed too. Today : 7 aces to Federer's 3. 134mph average speed. I think he is there. Isner Karlovic Raonic Zverev

One of my all-time favourite players since Rome 2009!

Hi, I was in a league match. I do not serve hard but I put a lot of slice spin on my serve. My opponent complained that it is not a "Gentleman's Serve", does he have a point? Or was he a sore loser? My slice serve went to his weaker side.

Quite a few people do this. Would you recommend so? What good does it do? I do it with a relaxed wrist, so that the racquet at this stage faces side way, not upward as in the pic. 1:30

Three months ago, I posted a video on this forum, seeking advice on my serve (link). I got tons of great tips as well as well as kind words that helped and motivated me to work on that. I want to first say thank you to everyone who has helped me! Since then, I have been practicing serve...

Hi all, first post but have been reading over the years. I've searched for an answer to the above question, but have not found anyone who talks about it. Is there a specific rule that limits how far behind the baseline you're allowed to serve? Here is my thought: if there isn't a limit, one...
