Toughest stroke in tennis, imo.......hard to develop muscle memory. Can practice all day and get in a groove, but lose the feel during matches. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together.

This is a selfless, non showy, well presented, well constructed, well articulated, first class lesson. Have not seen one like it and I have looked at quite a lot. I have been trying to copy Djokvic. Lots of double faults- discouraged. Other videos are too wordy or not comprehensive as this one is. AM

What an INCREDIBLE coach. I am taking tennis lessons right now and my current coach can only point and say "SNAP THE WRIST, YOU GOTTA SNAP THE WRIST". Meanwhile, you break down the serve into repeatable, simple steps, and explain why we do them. THANK YOU!

You have taken a very complex action sequence and broken it down into logical sub-actions. You are the first person to properly explain arm pronation to me. You have provided great modelling. This is some of the best teaching practice I have seen on RU-vid. Well done and thank you so much - I can't wait to improve my serve!

This is truly one of the best instruction videos for tennis I have ever seen! Thank you for this fantastic breakdown of the serve mechanics.

Great explanation, it's all clear. I hope this also works for an absolute beginner. Adding a lookup table to help me find the essential parts of the instruction: 1:01 Stance 1:48 Continental grip 3:43 Swing path 5:26 Swing exercise 1 6:09 Swing exercise 2 7:21 Toss 7:48 Backswing 9:07 Trophy position 9:38 Backswing exercise 10:20 Backswing + Hitting exercise 11:41 Body rotation 16:19 Follow-through 19:48 Fluidity exercise

I used to play tennis EVERY DAY from ages 14-20, I got pretty good, but then school/work/life got in the way and I completely quit playing. At almost 28, I finally picked my racket back up (and yes, the same racket and strings from 8 years ago), started watching your videos, and practicing every day. Within 2 weeks of very intentional drills, mentally going through all your videos, and having an open mind, I already feel like I'm better than I was 8 years ago. Your videos are truly phenomenal, you're an amazing teacher!

I don't even play tennis smh, I need to take my ass to bed🤦🏽‍♂️

This video is solid gold. After three months of working on my serve, this is the only video I have found that breaks everything down into understandable parts. I saw an immediate improvement to my serve.

This is by far the best serve tutorial available on RU-vid! I started playing tennis about a month ago, and even with a coach teaching me, I was really struggling with the serve. After I watched this, honestly my serve improved like 80%. Thanks Tomas!

This video gave me the breakthrough I needed to begin using an advanced serve. I am 3.0 player that struggled with serve toss and consistently getting my serve in play (a good day was 30% of serves). Prior to watching this video I was practicing my serve daily but was seeing very little improvement. After two 100 ball sessions practicing your "bounce" to pronate drill, my contact consistency and serve accuracy substantially improved. I was so exhilarated with the improvement gained in a short period of time! I am very motivated to trust your training recommendations to continue progressing. Thank you so much for your help!

I have played tennis for 40 years, but never got proper instruction for the serve. Your tutorial is fantastic... covering every aspect of the serve. Anyone player can see their weakness(es) and what they should focus on with your insightful instruction. And I learned some new vocabulary, too! Thank you!

I had a problem with my shoulder a couple months ago but when I watched this, tried the step 3, corrected my motion and contact to the ball, it didn't hurt anymore. Thanks a lot

Before this tutorial my serve was bad to medium, following your instructions and lots of practice it became medium to good. Amazing tutorial, some people just have a way to deliver the knowledge that is just oerfect, you are one of them thanks

I have played tennis for years and my biggest pain is the serve skill, this is the best serve course, explained very clear instructions each step, it works. Thank you so much, Great Master !!

Watched this whole video after being really discouraged with my serve. Went to my back patio to just try out the motion while watching my reflection in a window. I had team practice the following day and my serve improved DRASTICALLY overnight. It was like magic. Thank you so much!

Awesome Video. I'm a beginning player at age 60 and I found your instruction easy to follow and visualize​ for practice. I'll be using these techniques right away.

Absolutely the best serve video and believe me I have analysed lots. Thomaz has a great way of explaining the mechanics of the serve. It seems that I have made all the common mistakes but now know how to correct them. Thank you Thomaz!

I dont care how old this video is. If someone really focuses on following the steps and create true muscle memory here, you will be on your way...excellent..thanks Tomaz' for caring and teaching..

Best instructional video about serve on RU-vid. I used this video to teach my daughter (10) serve when she was transitioning from the 'waiter' serve to the 'hammer' grip. The results were instant. Now my 10 year old daughter has now reached 115 kmh (about 71 mph) from about 80 in 8 weeks or so. It's amazing. I must also mention that she is also using the serve master, nice tool. Thanks Tomaz, thanks FEEL TENNIS INSTRUCTIONS.

One of the best videos giving clear instructions to serve. Camera angles are great, slow motions at appropriate places are perfect, the pace of instructions is just fine.

The best serve instruction I've ever seen, I already know how to serve but this one tells me lots of details on how and why. Thanks so much.

The raquet drop! Never had any idea how big that is! Out of all the instruction I had on the serve no one has ever come close to you, can't wait to try this. Thank you so much for making all parts of the service motion so easy too understand!

Thomas is the best I've seen for tennis instruction. Has wonderful communication skills.

Great video, i play tennis since i am 7 year old (now 22), but i never found the ''correct'' technique to have smooth and fluid serve, thanks to you now i serve faster, more regular and more precisely than i ever did. Thanks a lot Thomas.

This is the best video on tennis serving that I've ever seen on youtube. Very thoughtful and very well explained.

Thank you so much, this was really helpful and explained in a very detailed and clear way

I have to say I've watched dozens and dozens of serving tutorials on youtube and this is by far the best video of all. The way he explains every step and the reason behind each of them makes it so much simple to understand.

Tomaz: Finally a complete and comprehensive walk-throgh of needed steps to get the serve right!!! What an inspiration and help to take to the tennis court and practice. And finally after 20 years of playing tennis, i have now improved my serve considerably after implementing the 7 step in only 7 sessions. Thank you Tomaz....

First of all, I wanted to say that this is by far the best tennis online training series available, very deep, articulate and mind opening. I’ve improved my game dramatically, not by following some gimmick drills that many other channels present, but by gaining understanding of body mechanics and also mental aspect of the techniques. This video is also very great. I struggle with the serve, no matter what I do I end up opening the racquet too early in a classic “waiter’s serve” form. When I film myself, even when I’m convinced I did everything right this time, when I then watch the video of myself in slow motion I can’t believe I somehow manage to again do the waiter’s tray serve. It feels as if someone was pranking me by swapping the video :) It is interesting to see that in this video you actually also open the racquet very early and point its face to the sky. It’s at 4:32 in slow motion example of the serve pronation. I understand that this is not a complete serve and just a movement of the arm so that could be the reason, but it’s clear the waiter’s tray form creeped in there too. Can you please comment on that?

This was the cleanest and most straight forward tennis tutorial video I have watched so far. Thankyou!

By far the most clear, consise and technically sound demonstration of the forgotten but essential teaching concept of progression. Thanks Tomaz. Cam

Incredible video! This is an absolutely incredibly explained breakdown of the serve as I've never seen it before. You are a great coach. Thank you very much! I am now a follower for life!

This is the best serve instruction video that explains the pronation clearly and correctly.

One of the best instruction videos to improve serves...thank you!

I started learning serve today and has to say this is one of the best step by step video to learn serve. I improved my technique just by following steps here. Thanks for uploading.

Excellent description & breakdown of balanced efficient mechanics utilized in executing a serve. This has been extremely helpful. I saw this at first quite some time ago & at that juncture I could not fully understand the details. But now after some time of thoughtfully working on my technique, I can now comprehend your wonderful description & take advantage of this opportunity to improve my technique. thank you very much

This is a great video! Thank you for the thorough explanation of this technique and for being patient. I especially enjoyed the slow motion bits. Keep up the awesome work!

The best coach on RU-vid. I’ve rewatched many of his videos and always pick up something new that I missed

Thomas gotta tell u ... U r the best tennis teacher on RU-vid ... Far better than essentialtennis, DTL, and others !!

Just started watching. I love all your tips. I like the 2 angle visual. I have been not been using this and will not start. Also as every serve tip advises; pronate. I like the tip pronate in the straight angle. I'm a 3.5 player and one thing I seen as I move up is a lot of guys with average serves at 3.5(often myself). It really makes for some long drawn out points and makes it where you really have to work to win a match. I was at 3.0 for a while and luckily my serve got to a point(at that level)where I could really overtake guys at end up winning most of my service games. Huge advantage.

I haven't even gotten back onto the court after watching this video and I know that my serve has already improved. It was THAT good. Thank you Tomas!

I watch this vid exactly 1 year ago when I couldn’t serve at all. I now have the best serve for my age group in my club and it’s coz of this vid. 🙏🙏

One of the best, most detailed tennis tutorial videos I have ever seen. Thank you!

Best serve tutorial I ever saw !!!! Thank you so much for this EXCELLENT video lesson !!

Your teachings are amazing. I have imperceptible my techniques so much with them. And I feel like I am also less exposed to injuries by doing things properly. Thank very very much from Guatemala for taking the time to share your knowledge.

Your "imagine 2 swing path" ideas have helped me to finally able to start doing advance serve! I have been watching a lot of books and videos and you are definitely the best tennis coach on youtube! Thanks Tomaz!!

Absolutely the best serve instruction I have seen on the Internet and I have seen literally hundreds!!!

Very clear instructions, one of the best serve videos I have watched, thank you.

Very well presented lesson. You have broken the whole thing down into easy pieces. Especially the last few tips were really helpful. Thank you very much! Will thank you every time I am doing a serve.

This is by far the best tennis channel available online. Thank you.

You've done it again. Don't know how I missed this coming out, but at least I found it now. I personally try to break down strokes into a progression, but the serve I couldn't figure out. You did figure it out. This is very helpful and has illuminated serveral fundamental problems I have. Thanks.

Best video ever. I developed the fastest racket head speed just after watching your video. Thanks!

Thank you! This video was very thoughtfully done.

Never saw a better analysis of the breakdown of the serve. Thank you

You are really the best instructor I have seen, not only on how to serve but, all your instructions are amazing and really easy to understand.

Amazing instruction. Helped me figure out what was causing my inconsistency, thank you

Excellent coaching. Enthusiastic thumbs up. I will be watching your other videos as well.

Growing up in the ghetto this after-school program decided to teach us the beautiful game of tennis I fell in love rite away went to a tournament and got 2nd never will forget it.. teaching my son soon so I'm watching videos to train him very well. Wish us luck 🙏

Your serve video has taught me to change completely my serve. I am having much better results. Thank you.

Probably the best serve video I have seen yet.

This is the most incredible tennis serve tutorial I have ever seen. Props to you, thank you so much for this video! You are awesome.

Absolutely the best serve video on the net. Thank you so much!! So helpful.

The best serve tutorial I've ever watched. Easy and simple. 90% of my serves go in after practicing this. Before trying the "fancy" stuff everybody should go through this. Thank you Tomaz!!!

Best Tennis instructional video I've ever seen!

The easyest way out to learn tennis serve I ever seen before..decomposing it in 7 pieces...Congrats teacher!! good job!!

Excellent lesson. thanks for breaking this down into steps and carefully explaining each of them. I've been struggling with my serve for a while and look forward to practicing these steps

I really think this is the best video I have ever seen about the learning serve tecnique. Thank you very much.

This is a great video. A consistent, good serve is so unbelievably hard to develop.

Best instructional video ever. Great understanding of what learners need. Practical, sensible, and do-able.

One of best tennis lessons I saw in RU-vid. I have subscribed your channel. Thank you!

Thank you Coach Tomaz, love the breakdowns as it is easy to fix each and every detail from start to finish. The movement is the same for a flat serve as well as the kick serve?

I really needed this my playoffs are tomorrow and my serves are good but I knew I was doing something wrong because my wrist kept hurting afterwards and I have a habit of double faulting a lot I know this video is 4 years old and no one is probably gonna see this but thank you so much 🙇‍♀️

Incredible video ! Thanks for breaking the serve down, you make it look so easy ! Thank-you so much !

Excellent explanations. This is my first serve video . Thanks a lot.

Your videos have dramatically helped my serve. I have been trying to figure out how to get more power and after watching you explain that the hips move forward as the racquet drops has been a complete game changer for me. Much more power now! You're a very good instructor. Thanks a lot!

Hi this is a great video I recommend everyone to watch this it has really helped with my serve which I thought was good before it's now got even better. What I think would be really helpful is if we were able to download a summary sheet we could take to the court with us as there is quite a lot of information. Just a thought! :)

This video is amazing. So in depth, so specific, and so many angles shown. I also liked how you showed common mistakes cause that is always good to know to avoid them. Thank you for this.

Best tennis serve video I've ever seen on YT. Just went to the court yesterday, tried 3 hours to correct my biomechanics of serve, although I've made big improvement since the beginning and I can serve really fast serves; but I always knew thanks to some ppl watching and warning me that the technique still isn't right. Yesterday I tried so hard to make it right, yet I was still trying to hit right away without completely releasing my should and arm, because I lack the knowledge that I needed to finish extending my arm first! now I get it totally, it is down to putting it into practice now. Thanks so much, I now totally have confidence that this will be the last time that I struggle to make things right on my serve and putting my rivals in trouble :D Highly appreciate your effects, thanks coach!

Very Good tutoríal for Serve. Very práctical an Eastern to follow. Thanks Sinona Viteri 🇪🇨 Ecuador

Thats SOO good explained! keep that up! I played several ITF and still struggle with my serve consistency. great video!

Excellent!! My serve got really much better after watching your video. Thanks!

Brilliant instruction and video. Truly one of the best ever. Very easy to understand with examples, demonstration, slow motion, repetition, and what to avoid comments. Thank you so much!
