I watched the old Vic Braden serve videos and this is what he teaches. I've done it now for several months with a low ball toss and have seen better results. I guess I'm not turning my shoulders before tossing the ball and that's why I'm feeling rushed. I'll have to try this next time I'm out. It should help with my 1st serve percentage. I got this!❤
@@2MinuteTennis ok, I tried it today. The turn first seems natural. I gained more power fast, but I was hitting in the net a lot. Felt like I was tossing too close, but then when I threw it in front I became unbalanced through the swing. But when it's on, it's on. I cracked a couple aces today where my opponent didn't even have time to react. Just a matter of hitting more balls at this point. Great advice, though. Thanks!
So glad the video will help you Cinco. I've noticed you've been commenting a lot on my videos recently and I just want to say I really appreciate it. Thanks Cinco!
@@2MinuteTennis Some great content in that one, I was thinking of a real time video of you playing whilst all your swing thoughts on each serve/stroke. A difficult one to put together I imagine though... :D
Good tips, and I also recommend a lower toss for better consistency. Most people toss too high, then trying to hit the ball when it's accelerating downwards is a real issue. I will quibble with the j-shape motion of the toss. I don't recommend that for most players. Turn and rotate to your back foot but the toss should be almost entirely upward to the trophy position as weight is being transferred forward. The ball should land slightly into the court but doesn't need to be a j-shape. This is too complicated for most players.
You're a morron if you think a ball slowly accelerating downwards (that you tossed yourself) is any more difficult to hit. It's literally easier than hitting a slow feed which any toddler can do without thinking. Tossing higher gives you more time to properly go through your full kinetic chain and thus makes you more consistent and forgiving in all the parts that actually matter. Low toss is a garbage pseudo-intellectual idea that kills the proper full serve technique for more people than it helps.
@drdickenbalz take a look at what I mean by lower ball toss. This seems ideal, where the toss is just above the hitting zone. Much higher (where many recreational players and eveb pros esp. women) leads to inconsistency in the toss and hitting zone. And let's pls not resort to name-calling. www.google.com/search?q=roger+federer+serve+toss&oq=federer+serve+toss&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCAgBEAAYFhgeMgkIABBFGDkYgAQyCAgBEAAYFhgeMg0IAhAAGIYDGIAEGIoFMg0IAxAAGIYDGIAEGIoF0gEINTI4NWowajeoAhSwAgE&client=ms-android-verizon&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:6c2b9a06,vid:eH0ohi2OBys,st:0
@@parkerkitterman7816 Have you been playing tennis for 30 years with 20 grand slams under your belt? My point is that you do not try to copy the end result from a player who has already gotten to the point where he has all the muscle memory and timing in place to afford to lower his ball toss. Copying that lower toss without your proper serve kinetic chain in place is putting the cart in front of the horse, and is as dumb as thinking the way to become rich is to spend money on fancy cars just because you see all the rich people doing it.
Goran Ivanisevic-style serve (hitting the ball on low ball toss while ball moving up). Will work only for professional players. Amateurs have to use high toss in order to have time for concentration and for aiming (hitting the ball while ball moving down). Good luck.:-)))
It only takes a cursory examination of the top 100 ATP players to work out how many actually use a low toss. If very few professionals can successfully pull that off, then your average tennis player has no chance.
hey Coach, thanks for the Vid, but I think that you went over this many time before. ha ha. how about some single tactical strategies? Not just a simple few tactics in 5 min video, but analyzing deeply into various parts in many videos. A tactic by tactic, play by play...etc. That would be really helpful, Coach. thanks always.
Good tips... but you gonna make me hit my forehead with my racket Ryan, thinking I need to salute!🤠 Also my Proton Ball Machine is on the way! Thanks for the advice and the free shipping offer code. You saved me enough money to get a mega pack of new balls from Costco to put in that machine!
Why? I have been playing with a Blade 98 for >20 years (NTRP 5.0). I have been contemplating an ezone 98 tour. I like your content and figure that you have justification for the larger head size. Thanks. @@2MinuteTennis
I get that. Why do you like it? I presume that you can have any racket that you want. Can you please ariculate why you chose this particular 100?@@2MinuteTennis
It takes a huge number of repetitions without a ball to just begin to break that grip change. Performance Plus Tennis RU-vid channel has great instruction on learning to serve. I went overboard with his advice on throwing balls up at an angle. I threw thousands of balls before I began to “get it.”
The reason that happens is bc you’re trying to hit too flat/toss isn’t to the right enough/and you’re swinging too much toward your target. Work on hitting a lot of sidespin, Toss to the right, and swing way off to the right. You’re changing the grip bc you’re trying to hit too flat. So focus on a ton of spin and it’ll encourage to keep the continental to stay on edge more thanks!!!
@@2MinuteTennis I love this advice to hit with spin. That’s why you’re a coach and I’m not 🙂. (Also bc I’m a really late starter with only four years of struggle!😄)
