Thanks for the comment and for watching!

Adam, I have always enjoyed your skill training videos. This latest video on perfecting our serves is keeping with your excellent teaching style. You break down every individual step in the skill: Purpose, general steps and then individual segments of the motion, with helpful suggestions along the way. Also, love the lists! Keep up the good work you. I have shared your videos with others who are also appreciative of your training methods.

Also, you are rocking back, then throwing your body weight forward through the movement. I watched this again, and heard the thump of your foot!

I liked your pointers on adding power/speed to the serve. Are there stance differences if I just drop the ball, let it bounce, then hit the ball.

Another great video, Adam! Would love to have a few private lessons with you. Do you do private lessons/clincis?

Good info! At times during adding topspin demo, it appears that your paddle edge is above your wrist which makes it illegal, I struggled with this & being called on it. What are your thoughts?

In order to brush up on the ball and apply top spin you must hit from low to high. If you’re worried about the legality of your serve just drop your paddle head below the ball

How do you return a top spin serve?

Your serve looks tough Adam!!!

Thanks bro! Let’s play when you come to Nash

Your panel is above your wrist, dude

Wouldn't that be considered a fowl if you step into the court serving

the second serve at 2:28 looks illegal by 2024 rules, as he appears to contact the ball across the midline.

Same thought, great video and info, but at 5:10 in slow motion, the serve is cleary illegal as the arm holding the ball makes an upward motion and the ball is thrown up in the air and clear moves up and peaks before it begins to drop and is then made contact with. The good news is that the contact point is below the waist line, but the upward throw still makes it illegal, doesn't it?

Thanks for the comment - the OP was referring to a different serve - the serve in question is different - “the ball can’t be propelled in any direction” is what the rule book says. I would say that at the time of release the ball is not propelled, it is dropped

Why not stand a foot behind the serve line then you don't need to back up?

Great question - the problem would be that the distance (a foot, etc) could vary based on a person’s interpretation, which could lead to inconsistency. However the baselines will always be the same distance.

At the beginning of the video, the guy serving that speed ball would be penalized in a tournament because his paddle is serving above his waist. Just sayin'...
