Post Tennis serve online coaching videos

[socallefty]

I enjoy when posters attach online coaching videos of ways to improve the serve in other threads. The serve is a very complicated shot and almost everyone would like to add some pace, spin or accuracy to their serves. I thought it would be good to have one thread that collects coaching videos of serve technique.

I personally am interested in coaching videos to improve players with decent serve technique rather than those aimed to teaching a beginner how to serve, but all coaching videos of serves are fair game - so post away!

This is not a thread to post rec player serves and ask for feedback as there are plenty of other threads for that. However if a reputable coach has done an analysis of someone’s serve video, it might be fun to see that.

I feel like none of the clickbait tips and tricks videos are very helpful. A video titled "Add 10mph to your serve with one simple trick" might get your serve from 60mph to 70mph, but it won't get you from 110mph to 120mph. Instead, you're better off relearning all the fundamentals so that you can start right off with a 100mph serve and then improve that number on your own as you add in more speed/coil.

For that purpose, I've found this to be the best and most comprehensive serve fundamental tutorial:

This is really old school and is a basic serve video, but I keep going back to this whenever my service starts breaking down. Old school and simple for consistent rec serves.

Not an instructional but a lot to be learned from watching Fed warm up serves. Almost no knee bend, so loose, not caring if it even goes in the right box, fluffy spin. Then you see the progression to a full serve.

For me it helps to remove all those extra movements and start with the basics, you don't have to go all keegz on your warm up.

Some day, I will make my own serve instructional video, and rec tennis world will change forever.

His other kick serve video is good too, but it's aimed more at people who are just learning the basic technique. This one is more advanced. He now coaches Felix from the Tennis Brothers channel.
