Best tennis instruction on RU-vid!!

Thanks! Best explanation and demonstration I’ve seen.

Very well explained.

Thank you! This is the detailed contact angle info I have been waiting to see/learn. Great video presentation. I got this!

you are the best

I tend to pronate more on a hard slice serve than a flat serve simply because I’m trying to keep the racquet on edge longer and really trying to snap up into the ball, not trying to make sure the face is square at contact. BTW, there isn’t much pronation past contact, it is mostly shoulder internal rotation. Put your racquet in contact position and see just how much further you can get with no shoulder involvement. Not very far for most of us.

Nice high-speed demo! 😀

Great Tips

Next level video Ryan 💯 % accurate

Cool vid! 💯👍 I've heard recently coaches talk about slow back and then fast forward to the ball on the serve, shouldn't the motion be the same speed throughout? Thanks 🙏

Thanks Ryan!

Hi Ryan, quick question regarding the dominant arm forearm. Prior to serving, during warm-up hitting simple forehands or backhands, I notice a "stretch" in the forearm muscle once I start moving my feet, and then after that stretch I see that my serve changes from the "waiter tray" serve to what I perceive as the correct serve motion, including achieving what I perceive as the correct continental grip. I am curious if you have noticed this "stretch" when you warm-up?

I pinned your handle under PM’s IG clip for this exact topic 😊

Has your wife complained about the marks left on the wall by the ball? Joking aside, thanks for the great explanation.

If pronation happens after striking the ball, it has no influence on the ball, such are the laws of physics. So a little bit of rotation happens before the ball is hit...

With slice serve there is more complex topic about pronation. Some pros like Fritz make visible pronation on slice serve and some dont and continiue motion right to left. It also make different results in ball trajectory. I test two of them and use two of them depends of situation (I am lefty) . When I use slice "without" pronation the spin is much better and after bounce ball is curve to right much more (if you are right handed it will be to the left). It is also shorter but very unpleasant to return because it throw oponent much more away from court. If I use slice with pronantion it is more powerfull but spin is very weird in my case - it wont curve so much to the right but after bounce it will curve more to the oponent or even little left (like the bounce is changing the trajectory of the ball). Maybe it is in my case only because I have natural spin on every serve - I cant serve 100% flat even on 1st serve it is always some topspin on big serves.

👏👏👏

Good teacher, but do I see a big hole on your sock?
