kick serve

[Racquet_Dude_08]

can anybody post a well-above-descent kick serve video cause ive been struggling with getting the kick. i get the loop effect on my serve but to only get a horrible kick. it will bounce in the returner's strike zone. i use an eastern but to no avail. any tips or vids would be awesome. i try to toss it a frog hair in front of me on my second serve but i still get the desired kick. i toss it kinda by my head almost 12 o' clock.

Here you go:

This is zptennis from the boards. He hasn't been posting too much lately though, but has an outstanding kicker.

Also, edberg505 has an awesome kick serve vid. Do a search with his name and you will find it.

when you say you use eastern is that EFH or EBH? there is a big difference
