How to serve a super fast top spin serve in Pickleball 

Hi Dave! I tried this and I had to let you know that it is really working for me! Thank you!

This video has helped my serve far more than any other PB serve video. At first, the comment about the paddle being higher than the wrist bothered me, as that would be illegal. However when David actually strikes the ball, his paddle is below his wrist. David has a very nice serve. My big take away...and what has made a huge difference in my serve is that I noticed that David really drops his right shoulder before striking the ball. It generates a lot of pace and as a former tennis player, it is a motion that I am very comfortable with. Dave does not mention this and yet it is the most significant portion of the entire video. It also insures that the serve is legal. I practiced hitting thousands of serves and didn't have the power and consistency. After dropping my shoulder and swinging through the ball, it changed everything within five minutes. This has made a huge difference in my serve.

Thanks Coach David. Can't wait to try what you showed.

It’s really an inside out hard serve. Good stuff!

Great serve. Never mind the haters. They have no idea how much time it takes to shoot edit upload and answer comments. Subbed.

Thanks, Coach! I'm practicing this weekend.

Helpful instructions. I’ll give it a try. Thanks

This is how I serve. The ball jumps up at you when you are the receiving player. I also put more spin on the ball at times so it kicks up sideways. I do this by twisting my torso a little bit. Too much of this though can strain your lower back.

Thanks for your instructions.

His low hard serves look pretty good.

Thanks for the demonstration.

So you have a tutorial where you serve side is hidden from the camera, blocked by your body? Please redo this with camera close to the ball when served and unblocked by your body. Then on contact you need a slo-mo edit.

i’ve been working on this for a while, getting more consistent and knocking some aces against some better players by hitting the front left corner and kicking left. Do you ever do this serve from the left serving position? the aim/foot position seems to get me messed up from the left. Goal would be close to center line and kicking left a little. Especially when they are more towards the corner.

I would make three recommendation, Take your time when you serve, get in a routine, dont rush and dont hold your breath when you hit. breath out.

Where are you at coach Dave? would like to take pickleball lessons 😊

Scared me there for a minute when you were showing paddle above the wrist..... because that would make it an illegal serve.

Can you slow it down? Show the details of angle of paddle, point of contact …. Close up how to would benefit a lot! Good start

I hit a topspin lob serve. Keeps people against the fence!

I don't find this serve difficult. I find it difficult to convince referees that it's legal.

I was hoping that this video would be better but be better. Slow motion, camera angles, camera nearer, detailed explanation and slow narration of the strokes would have been helpful.

Sounds like he’s out of breath just from serving???

I hope this is a joke. Wearing his minto shirt and saying ummm a thousand times. No instructional skill at all. Jesus save the people who take this as gospel
