In the past, my serve has never been much of a weapon in matches, I always rely on my aggressive groundstrokes to win the point. However I'm entering into my final year of high school (aka final year of varsity tennis) so I'm looking to add more pace to my flat serve and more "kick" to my kick serve. I've recently started practicing the kick serve, using every website and video I could find, but my serves, while getting them in, always just seems to sit up into the opponent's strike zone. This is about three weeks in practicing almost every day (just serves).
I know I have a lack of a trophy position (just realized that after looking at my video >.>) but other than that, what can I do to improve my serves?
And what can I do to lessen lower back pain from the kick serves? Like it's been fine, but just yesterday when I woke up it hurt to arch it T_T
