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.

+Rick Martin I have a hard time with my serve as well. But in fact, I believe a serve could come easily. You know exactly where the ball will be and you have already positioned yourself to hit it. We overthink the serve and try to hard mentally and physically to master it. I think if you would tell a child to toss the ball up and hit it, it would soon make the right motion without getting further instructions.

+Marco Grieco I beg to differ. I have seen quite a few kids starting to try serves. Non of them can figure out continental grip pronation by themselves. Not even the smartest or the most athletic kid. The motion is just not intuitive.

I think you are right. After still working on my serve, often with the help of Feel Tennis' clips, I realized that the motion ist not intuitive.

It's a lot like pitching in baseball. I think if you understand the arm pronation involved it helps a lot.

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

I've never really had a guaranteed second serve. I am self tought through just playing and the serve has always been my achilles heal. I stopped playing 10 years ago and only recently started playing again and noticed that I felt really uncomfortable in my serve motion which would explain why the toss and direction was so erratic and why my shoulder hurts the day after. Your video has helped me understand what I'm doing wrong. Ty.

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 KZread. Well done and thank you so much - I can't wait to improve my serve!

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!

Happy to help!

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!

Oh hi

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

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!

This is by far the best serve tutorial available on KZread! 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!

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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!

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....

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

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. 🙏🙏

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!!

This is a great video. I am going to try and implement these techniques in refining my serve

Probably the best serve video I have seen yet.

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

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

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.

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?

one of the best online tennis coach. this is the best serve lesson on line. thank you

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

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!

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

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

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!

Best serve lesson online I've seen so far. Thank you! :)

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.

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

Thank you Thomas, I found your lesson very helpful

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

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!

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

I love the consistency between all his serve videos. Excellent logical explanations backed up by actionable instruction, can't get any better from a video!

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

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

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

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.

Thank you!! I am going to try this. Best serve instruction that I have seen.

Wonderful video. very clear step by step explanation with nice audio. Cheers

Excellent instruction!! I have been out of the game for over 18 months with shoulder issues and ultimately rotator cuff surgery. Getting back into it, my serving has been off. This was very helpful in reminding me of the little things that make a big difference!! Thank you.

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

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.

awww hope i can get to doing this that curve in the air looks so awesome makes me hyped

@feeltennis

7 жыл бұрын

Hi, we don't hit the serve with the flexion of the wrist as that would lose the stability of the stroke. The flexion you may see sometimes after the contact is because the player starts to relax since the ball is gone and the work has been done so there's no more need to maintain any tension.

Feel Tennis Instruction , Thomas, I am new to your group. I love this video and have subscribed. One question: wehn we are practicing all this should I go very slow on the serve and the build up my speed with time. Or should I start practicing with my normal speed.

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

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

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 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 most difficult part of tennis game has been explained so beautifully.Thank you very much coach

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 have been playing forever I find your instruction superb. I almost can't wait to try some of these tips!

Thank you for the (in)valuable wisdom. I love your channel, and you. You make tennis available to anybody. I used to go to the court very confident that I could get better just by practicing. It’s very humbling to let another person just teach you. Even when I have thought of that person as knowing little, sometimes that person turns out to know a lot more. Different topic. I just like it when I watch one of your videos and then I go back to the court knowing something new, and practicing it. I will carry your teachings with me and my dream is to one day help others. God bless Thomas! Merci beaucoup!

This video has helped me very much. It is the clearest most concise description of the proper technique that i have seen. Thanks very much for the help!
