How To Hit a Kick Serve in Tennis with Venus Williams 

Still can't believe a legend like Venus is out here on RU-vid dropping gems like this. What a time to be alive.

WOOOOOOWWWW!!!!! What a privilege to have Venus as a teacher. Ok, because of this, she’s my favorite tennis player ever. Do you know how humble someone has to be in order to be teaching PRICELESS CLASSES online, after having been world number one, which means you could charge whatever you want for a class?

Venus, you're so generous to do this. Years ago I was in Key Biscayne and you tapped me on the shoulder and said excuse me so you could go watch a match. I think your touch blessed my serve. I have been rooting for you every time you played. I truly believe that you can occupy courts at any tennis facility and people will fight to get your knowledge. Not to mention the added prestige to the club due to your presence. You're a legend, others do it without your credentials. Best wishes to you and warmest thanks.

Venus has gifts on explaining complicate topics into bite size info that even beginners can understand well. 👍👍

Cant believe these lessons are free for us to practice with.. it’s a blessing

I would love to see more of you breaking down your past iconic matches like the 2005 Wimbledon final

Hi, Venus. Excellent explanation and demonstration as usual. I would just like to see a camera angle from behind you so we could actually see the trajectory of the ball and where it lands on the service court vs the regular serve. I hope it won't be too complicated for your camera crew. Thanks so much for taking the time and giving us all the gift of knowledge. You're a great teacher.

Thank you so much Venus!! The first video on serving helped me improve my serve so much, I can’t wait to use these tips next practice 🎾🎾

Thanks Coach Venus! Great clarity to your instruction. I can't wait to get on the court and give the kick serve a try.

I LOVE this channel!!!!!! So glad you're doing this for us! Thank You!

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation, its very helpful!!! 🙏❤

Thank you Venus! This is awesome! Cannot wait to practice this! You explain everything so well ❤🙌💫🎾🙏🥰

I really appreciate these videos. I've been playing for two years and it's nice to have a world-class player breaking the shots down for the rest of us. Thanks!!

So grateful you are sharing your knowledge with us, Venus! The best!

OMGGG, this was so amazing ! i’ve been trying to learn my kick and it was feeling really good today and had some kick. I can’t wait to start with the back bend and by adding some leverage off the ground🙌🏾

These videos are amazing! Looking forward to seeing more in the future

I loved this video! I keep training my kick since months and this is useful for sure! Thank you so much. Please do other guides❤️

I love these lessons from one of the 🐐s!!! I’m really struggling with my serve so this is perfect

Venus I love the videos. How about some “slow motions” and/or “close ups” specially when hitting the ball… to see the point of contact and pronation. Ty for sharing your wisdom and experience ❤️❤️❤️

Just found this channel from you Venus, subscribed and loving this! I miss you on the court and this gives me a little of that. Thank you 😊

This is truly an honor Venus I enjoyed the lesson you're definitely an inspiration to me I like the way u explained how to do your craft thanks for sharing 🤗

I was thinking of learning kick serve the other day and voila your video on this is on!!! Gotta try follow the tips for sure.

Super video. This is the more challenging serve and is still a work in progress. Many thanks to Venus for helping the rest of us understand the basics of a kick serve

Good job venus. Would love to hear match tactics against different types of players such as power players, defensive players etc.

VENUS!! These videos are all coming in the clutch at the right time. Thank you a million times !!

Thanks Venus. Great video. You're really relatable and have a great coaching style. Looking forward to more vids

Thanks Venus , your lesson are awesome. Great to see a top pro giving tips. Hope to see you on tour soon.

Hi Venus - as a technical tennis coach - who coincidentally uses most of your style (I've only just found your channel), the way you describe your details is so very simple - by far the best and most effective way to show a learning player. I have always found that keeping it logical and simple is the most successful and efficient way for someone to understand and put into practise. In the UK (my country) the LTA thrive on making things ridiculously complicated and that is why the UK has virtually no decent players - our obvious successes have come from them going elsewhere for their fine tuning (Murray etc). I/we do not teach British Tennis, never have. I was brought up through the USPTR many years ago and subsequently added various european approaches. By far the best pathway. This has been more entertaining than I expected. Thank you.

I love your tennis instruction videos! Thank you!

Great tip on moving the hand around for a different grip for this serve. Many thanks for great coaching tips from someone who has been there and done it all. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I love this video. I learn so much from it. Your style of instruction make it easier to understand than the other tennis players!!!

These are the finest instruction videos by far. Thank you for your openness and for sharing your knowledge in such a simple manner.

I love your videos! You always seem so positive and happy in them! Will subscribe!

Thanks Venus for all the insight! Of all the tennis videos on you tube I feel like you explain the best, and I have been able to take your ideas to the court more effortlessly, thanks again!

Venus you are not only an amazing player and person, but also a great coach!!! Your previous video about the serve really helped me a lot and I am going to try your tips about the kick serve soon, for sure. You and Serena are a true inspiration and keep being such a great human! Thank you!!!

Thank you Venus for your wonderful tips! You are transforming my game and I’m eternally grateful!

What a lovely offering to those of us that need to work on our games. Thanks dear Venus, for giving us your time. Bless you.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It's such a warm feeling to hear techniques straight from the pros

Thank you for sharing your knowledge Champ! Thanks for passing it on! God bless you🙏🏾

Are you going to post more tennis tutorials? I’m loving what you have given us so far. Your explanations are definitely easier to understand than anyone else I have ever watched. Thanks SO much!

Really in-depth pointers; actually didn’t know that much about tennis. I love following.

I love these...they are literally the best serve tutorials on youtube. The previous serve tutorial has made my serve way more consistent...no cap. Please keep doing these, folk like me really benefit.

Fantastic videos Venus! Thank you so much. Just started learning tennis at uni and your videos have helped me so much! A video on slices and smashes would be fantastic hehe ☺️☺️

Most Interesting & Extremely Useful. Thank You So Much, Ms Venus Williams. Keep On Thriving!💗

I think it's awesome that you offer your skills and share this content. Thank you.

Thanks for doing this. Its absolutely an honor to learn from a legend.

Excellent teaching and explaining about the ins and outs of a kick serve

This is brilliant, thank you so much Venus

Just amazing. Thank you. Cannot wait to try this at the weekend!

Thanks Venus! Love this content. So easy to understand.

What a great video Venus. You are such a good teacher. I have subscribed so am looking forward to many more.

Really enjoying you beginner videos, can't wait for more tips!

The beauty of the lesson by Venus is that she translates her vast knowledge and experience in to the wording understandable for beginners - straight to the point. In that short video I found many tips I never heard about while watching instructions by others for years. Good job, Venus!!!

Great video so clear in your instructions! I really get it when you explain things and show it!

Thanks for posting Venus. It's great to see you can simplify this serve, it's probably my weakest. I've noticed while you play matches that your rhythm and flexibility is amazing and it's great to see you still have this. It means you can demonstrate what you are explaining!

Love these tutorials! Informative and clear - makes you think about it and digest. Then clearly demonstrated by a champion who we've seen using these techniques successfully at the highest level - and making us feel like we could do it too. And much fun.

Oh yeah, GREAT WORK Venus. Thank you so much.

This has been the most helpful kick serve video! Steps for kick serve made easily to understand. I always come back to watch it Explaining contact as a clock and hitting at 7 has help much with serve execution. Really appreciate content like this! Keep up the awesome tennis info

Thank you so much, Venus! I started playing in January, something I’ve wanted to do since I was a kid but couldn’t afford to do. Decades later and I’m finally going after it. I love it so much I ended up working my way up to playing 5-6 times a week. Could you do a video about how to care for your wrist, elbows, etc.? Not just warm ups and cool downs but what your entire routine is around this?

Very well explained. Thanks heaps Venus

You're a great teacher!! Thanks so much!!! What a career!!

Thank you for your generosity in giving directions

Wow there is so much that goes into the mechanics of different serves! Great explanation @Venus Williams

Thank you again for sharing! Your videos are so easy to follow and understand. Your truly a kind person to take your time and share! Not many other pros would.💕👍

Thank you, Venus. Great job on these vids and a big help. From one of your socal fans. 💪😜👍

Thank you Venus! You are too kind to do this. This is better than a paid lesson. And from a multi slam winner like yourself! I'm taking notes on all these videos and can't wait to get on court this weekend. :)

Thank you for your great presentation of how to do a kick serve.

Love the way you presented this video. I normally just watch videos but I subscribed on this one lol God bless

Hi Venus. Thank you very much for doing this. I started to play tennis couple months ago. I will definitely watch these videos over and over again. So helpful! Thanks again. Love from Turkey :)

Great style and information Venus! Gonna try it tomorrow!

Great job Venus! This is the most concise explanation i've heard of the kickserve. I love that you included not deviating from the normal toss and your clock contact point. Also, I thought it was very smart with putting in the wrist pronation last. I've taught some players leading off with pronation and concluded that approach was a little too fast. Awesome video, looking forward to more!

Omg Venus I love you with all my heart. Thank you so much for these extremely valuable youtube videos ❤❤❤

I just love you Venus!! ❤ You are an inspiration!!😊

Such a great video, she hits so many points, especially on the tightness. A+

Amazing - just had a lesson with Venus! Thanks for being generous with your knowledge x

Go Venus! Thanks for sharing these tips

Thank you Venus. Me and my friend are trying to learn tennis. I hadn't thought about giving the ball an effect at the service before.

amazing videos on the regular flat serve and kick serve. I have 3 kids that play tennis and they are inspired by you. we were hoping to see a slow motion of your shots to help the kids follow frame by frame how to hit the particular serve. your simple explanation on the videos has been really helpful. thank you for making these videos for us fans, rec players and our kids 🙂🎾.

Thank you thank you thank you Venus for these precious advices !!! 😊

Thanks Venus! You're super awesome, thank you so much for this video. As a lefty, I indeed did pull my right side of my abs when practicing kick serves. Will definitely try to strengthen it.

Thank you Venus-you’re so amazing!

So nice of you to share your tennis knowledge! One little critic is to frame the video so we don't loose sight of the ball when it is at its highest. Thank you so much!

That was an awesome lesson, thanks Venus !!

I grew up watching you play and got into tennis because of you. I played throught high school but stopped during college. Rencently I got back into tennis again and here I am learning from the best! Thank you for being such an inspiration! Love from Portugal!

This is really helpful. I wish I could have lessons with you!!

Great video Venus. I don't play tennis anymore, but I'm a huge fan of yours and the sport so these technique breakdowns are really interesting and fun.Thanks for sharing your expertise. 👍🏾❤

Thanks for another excellent video lesson. You're a natural teacher! I'm currently working on my kick serve and this was super helpful in tying all the different pieces together. It was helpful to see your serve both head on and from the side. That being said, it would also be helpful to see a close-up of your contact with the ball a couple of times. Keep 'em coming. Maybe a video on volleys?

Thank you Venus! Love your videos. Please come back to the tour so we can watch you play again! We missed you.

another excellent demonstration by Venus

Venus, Thank you for your videos. As a suggestion, I guess it would be great to have a slow motion from behind so we could see for example the 7 o'clock contact and the pronation. And show the serve itself (the ball having an extra kick). Cheers and hope to see you in court again soon

The ab workouts for tennis sounds like a good idea! I'd love to watch a video like that

Thanks Venus, great tips. You are the best

Very good explanations! Keep adding good instructions!

You’re advice is the best! A++

This is incredible! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

Thanks so much for this Venus, this is the video that has helped me most with my second serve. It's just awesome that you're giving your time to help others :). I love your videos.

Love you!!!! Thanks for the helpful videos. 😊

Venus comes off as so down to earth and the humour is so natural. Great breakdown of the technique.

Thank you so much for the tips Venus. You have no idea how much I truly appreciate the time you put into your content, especially as a legend tennis player. You make it so easy go understand. I'm a junior player myself, 12 years old, and using these techniques on the court. Truly a blessing!!

Thanks! I've been playing tennis since I was a little boy and have always attempted to hit a kick but never really understood it till now! Thanks Venus!
