Hit A Perfect Serve (Powerful Tennis Tips) 

After watching untold thousands of tennis RU-vid videos, this is the most comprehensive and clear use of segmented progressions on the tennis serve. Thanks. Glad I found your channel. 🎾

You really have a talent for teaching tennis. Bless up.

This is honestly the best tutorial on serve I have ever watched.

Man, I've been watching tons of videos for learning how to serve and this has been the most practical. Thank you.

I have watched hundreds of videos on the serve but this is by far the best step by step tutorial. I really appreciate how you breakdown every aspect of what goes in a correct serve.Thanks coach!

I've watched many video explaining serving techniques, I can say that this one is the best

I have been playing tennis for years. Self taught, have a decent serve, but always look to improve and now that I have a son of playing age, I look for lessons that can be useful (as it's very different knowing what to do and TEACH it) so that I can teach him. This is one of the most comprehensive, detailed lessons on the serve that is on video. Thank you for the time and effort.

The explanation was easy to understand even for Japanese people. I learned a lot.

Really helped me understand more of the physics of what’s happening with the “ball goes where the strings point,” and then racket path creates direction of spin. I was struggling with serve in part because the whole side on, swing up, swing towards side fence, etc., never made any logical sense to me, so I was never able to troubleshoot my own serve. Very helpful, thank you.

From Canada - After watching mant videos on serve, I can say your instructions are the best. I got up from my seat, paused the video, multiple times practiced in front of a huge mirror, every step. Excellent sir. I subscribed right away. Thanks.

Awesome instructor! Very practical and effective without giving useless importance to body mechanics and physiology like some others show off on. Keep up the great work, coach!

Thank you for breaking down the serve in to parts makes it easier to understand as a beginner.

I like the way you teach; it is very clear and a good method for serving! Thank you very much!

The channel name: 2 minute tennis The length of the video: 28 minutes

Absolutely brilliant!! So well explained. Makes it look so easy too. You're a star

You are my first and the only teacher who shows whole picture of serve. Thanks so much.

Perfect explanation that comes from a profound knowledge of this beloved sport! Thanks a million!

Wow. Best, clearest serve coaching ever. What a great teacher.

The most comprehensive tutorial on the serve!!

best serve video, highly recommended

Have been looking at youtube for many years and play tennis for many years, I still can't do my serve right until this video! Thank you for sharing such detail lesson! Best lesson ever

Thanks for the great video.....you show the correct way to serve step by step very clearly

Fantastic, detailed and simple instructions! Great job explaining the basic serve in its tiniest details! Wish I could see the differences between kick, slice and flat serve also explained by Ryan.

I cannot fault this video. I've played this game since 5 now 65 and your video is invaluable. AWESOME instruction. I cannot believe the ease of how I achieve so much more accuracy yet more power with less effort??? Thank you for these fantastic fundamentals, watching second time for second practice. No doubt I'm finally on the right course. You'll love my chocolate cake! 💯

I never seen a better tennis explanation ! You’re a great tennis teacher !

I just wanted to let you know that even after all this time one of the coaches at my school sent this to me as an amazing guide for a serve and I can say it didn’t disappoint

Very thorough and comprehensive! Thanks Coach.

Best explanations I have seen. Easy to practice, and very professional. Thank you, sir!

8:56 "elbow the enemy idea" technique + 13:31 "Knocking the bday hat off" + 16:18 "petting the head of a tall dog" = PERFECT SERVE 😂😂😂 Best coach ever

One of the best , simple explanation of the modern day swing ever !!! I have PAID for many lessons and came out with even more doubts. I am a 4.5 , 59y/o and I finally understand it . Yoe are a Master of tennis .

Excellent tips Ryan, such a simple, clear, brilliant explanation!!! Thank you so much

Drawing the line helps so much. TY sir

Excellent list of Check Points for the serve. I would add that after you release the ball ALLOW YOUR TOSSING ARM TO CONTINUE UPWARD ALMOST TO THE VERTICAL. This will insure a reasonable height for the ball and it helps to get you into the "Power Position" where your front shoulder is higher than your back shoulder. Another outstanding tennis video. Bravo.

This video is gold. This guy is gold. If you can get out of your own way and just listening to what this guy says, you will succeed.

Ryan, really made a difference with the birthday hat thing and only bouncing with the ball with my hand (not the racket). Thank you for this! Keep up the solid work, coach!

I am advanced tennis player but I have never seen anyone teaching serve like this u. 👏👏👏👍🙏🙏

One of the best videos I've seen on the serve.I already have the lines drawn on my hand and the racket, practicing in my living room and hoping to implement this in my USTA match tomorrow. Will continue practicing afterwards. I love the birthday hat idea! Thank you.

Half a million views that proves your dedication and willing to help others, valuable lesson and hats off to you !

I just wanted to thank you man. You literally saved my tennis ass. I had a very nice serve in a past but then there was a huge break. When I decided to get back to the game something got changed in my serve technique and I started feeling a sharp shoulder pain when serving (at the exact moment I hit a ball). I made a research and realized that there are at least a few shoulder problems that might cause the pain including impingement and so on. At the same time I received a lot of suggestions what to do from my local tennis community and people have suggested a lot of things like stretch, yoga, doctor appointment, MRI and stuff like that. But I decided to try something from my opinion more realistic and reviewed my serve technique a long with this brilliant video. And all pain has gone immediately. You are great!!!

Hands down best serve training video ever

Thanks Ryan. I've watched heaps of youtube videos on serves and this is definitely one of my favorites. You deserve to have many more subscribers.

Wow this video helped me so much. I was struggling with me serve for 2 years straight after coming back to tennis after 30 years not playing. Now in one week my serve has completely transformed. From hitting like 30% double faults i am down to maybe 4 a match. And my first serve is fast and consistent. Also watched a few other of your service, toss and return, forehand etc videos and my tennis game has become so much better it is ridiculous. I love it to each day work on my technicsl skills at home and focus on like three things when I actually go play and improve it step by step. Love your channel and you explain it so perfectly and simple. Watched a few other channels before but they never explained it so clear as you do so was still making mistakes. Now with your guidance I can really improve my overall tennis game! Much love from the Netherlands!

This was freaking amazing! I want to go to the tennis court right now and try this out.

You are a Great inovative teacher of this challenging but Beautiful Sport 💯🎾🙏🏾🙏🏾

i am watching from Korea . this is one of the best video in the world.

hands down one of the best serve videos on youtube, thanks!

Probably the best explanation and demonstration on youtube

Superb explanation

Thank you so much a searched how to a perfect serve a long time and i didnt understand, until i find this video and you explained it really good. Thank you!!

An excellent way to show the proper serve grip. Leading-edge, pronation, and wrist flex/snap.

Like everything else, life is a product of learning experiences. Great lesson here on hitting arm position. My serve has lately been in the toilet, but today with these tips it's back, flatter, more twist, more pace, more consistncy albeit rather different from my previous serve. Nice video!

That’s the best serve instruction I’ve come across. Excellent.

A good coach is blessed with the ability to observe and from his observations come insights and the ability to point them out. You have done just that ! I like the birthday hat example. I see it now. Just until a week ago I had no idea I was bringing the racquet back incorrectly resulting in that infamous waiter’s serve. Thankfully, because of your advice and a minor adjustment I made, I’m no longer doing it and can knock the hat off my head easily...😁. Thank you. That’s a neat little device you have to demonstrate spinning a ball.

Best guide I've seen on any topic really, thanks a lot! You're an awesome teacher!

Love this video . Such a great explanation

very professional and pretty clear. thanx

“The ball goes where my strings point, not where the racket travels” If there was a Tennis Bible, this would be in it.

I have watched so many good serve lessons on youtube, and this is the best one.

Thanks, great video. I am short and 50+ and a beginner, next thing to learn is the serve. I have made all the mistakes you mentioned🤣.I Like the segmented approach, rather than the whole serve motion. Nervous but excited to try this.Will get the birthday hat🥳 Thanks from Cape Town, South Africa 🏖

Thanks a lot Ryan for share your knowledge, simply, clear, awesome!

You have made me excited to practice again! Thank you.

Pearls of wisdom, thanks Ryan.

this is the best video i've seen about serving. thanks a lot! just subscribed!

That's by far the best explanation of how to serve, I've ever seen online! Best regards from Germany...

That's a lot of learning! Congrat's

Super duper video, Very well explained, One of the best. Thank you soooo much.

I am not a native speaker of English, but his English is still easy to understand. In addition, the explanation of tennis is polite and very helpful. Thank you very much.

An example how a good coach can make such a great difference! I never thought I could understand how to serve until I saw this video!!

Came across your channel at 04:00 in the morning. Fantastic teaching on the serve. This really brings it all together. Elbow the enemy, knock the birthday hat off the head, hit the side of the ball with the edge of the racquet! Wow!!!

This is by far the best video explanation of the slice serve for a beginner that I have seen on RU-vid and damn it helped me so much! Thank you very very much!

Wow!!! Wonderful video! This is an exceptionally clear breakdown of a serve! As a beginner, now I’m able to notice details that I had no idea existed, before your excellent video. I’m going out to buy the birthday hats - I will have to watch this video a few times because it is filled with sequential drills. I want to try them all - “thousands of times “ ! Thank you so much!!!!

Too good. Excellent video and coaching

Well explained, thank you so much

Wow. What an amazing video on tennis serve. I have watched many good videos on tennis serve on RU-vid and other online websites but this is so far the best I have seen and the great about this video is if you try his steps , you will see huge difference on your serve. I wanted to thank you for the video and no doubt you are an amazing coach. Thanks again for the video!!

Wow, excellent instructions - I am ready to eat the cake now. 😊

Wow really precise instructions . I am going to save this for study 🥸

This is the most concise video on 'serve' fundamentals that I have ever seen. Just implementing the the first part of positioning the arm properly has already made a noticeable difference in good serve percentages and with more pace too! I'm looking forward to progressing through the entire lesson including full pronation and spin.

How nicely explained, never seen anyone doing better than this. Kudos

It really works. Trust me. Like Bailey footwork, his technique is super effective. I get cosistency, power and feel my body moving with the ball. Warm thank from vietnam.

thanks for this video; your teaching skills are amazing

At about the eight minute mark, you addressed probably the single most important thing to help me improve and that is “don’t be too hard on yourself.” I am notoriously self critical, and it is detrimental to my learning because I have expectations that exceed my ability at this point. Great analogy about baking a cake and tasting the flower and saying it sucks. Of course it’s going to suck, it’s not done yet. I have been told how to serve by instructors and have gone out and hit hundreds of balls for hours on end and didn’t seem to get anywhere, not on any consistent level anyway. Going to give this step-by-step improvement method a chance and will definitely report back. Thank you so much for all of your great videos, they are very greatly appreciated.

What an amazing instructor! Thanks a lot!

A truly useful lesson, for the first time I can fully understand the serve movements. Thank a lot, my best regards.

Excellent explanation.Would appreciate a similar video on the toss

The face sends it, The path bends it.

Ryan, the birthday hat trick was to me A REAL REVELATION while executing my serves. my serve is now much more powerful as it used to be. BIG THANKS !!!!

This is the best serve technique explanation ever, not sure I would wear the hat though...

Wow. That was the best serve training video I've ever seen. Nice job. Simple and easy to follow. Thanks so much!

Been playing tennis for years, could never figure out why my serve SUCKED so bad haha! It was the grip first and foremost and everything else you pointed out step by step. Thanks so much for your help more then you know!!

Thank you very much! I will train following your instructions in Brazil!!

Amazing lesson! Thanks much Coach!

I am a teacher by profession. And you are an incredible teacher. I love the way you break things down. This will help me to coach my own son.

Imagine seeing a guy play tennis with a birthday hat on 🤣.

Most helpful serve instruction I ever heard!

WHILE PRACTICING, RACKET HIT TWICE ON MY HEAD VERY BADLY !!! you are an awesome coach but, finally I learned to serve ..... :)

Great video and service tutorial. Your points really makes sense.

Always the number one. So many coaches should learn from you. Please never stop to show us tips to improve our tennis. We want also professionals tips anyway... :p Thanks

Thank you for the personalized video - you were amazing!

Amazing video, cangrats from Brasil!!!!!!

Great and clear instructions, MANY thanks. At first I thought that the emphasis on the grip is an overkill but then realized that my own struggle to get rid of the chronic waiter´s serve WAS due to my grip repeatedly slipping towards the eastern fh. One cannot emphasize too much the importance of the proper grip. Continental basically FORCES you to go towards the ball with the edge. Keep up the good work for the benefit of tennis fans.👍
