As an ex-National coach for a European Federation, I can say Ryan's explanations and teachings are excellent! Great job!!

[@JamesDavisakaRemguy]

He's really got a very natural delivery yet a thorough understanding of underlying principles. I thought he was kind of a "beginner's coach" at first because his explanations _sound_ so simple, but upon further inspection/audition, he can go to the deep end of the pool without his water wings. Same easy-going, natural speech delivery. He's quite something!

[@2MinuteTennis]

@@JamesDavisakaRemguy wow thank you James! What a kind thing to say!

[@karenmelissa1947]

thank u

[@akhilmathur8523]

I agree

[@Olkunoni]

Also look up to where the ball will go, don't start looking down and follow the ball up

[@manabchetia8382]

This is just not a video for faster serves. This is a video for serve fundamentals. Everything Ryan says is so natural, organic and sequential. Thank you!

[@rico879]

As a recreational player I need to learn/fix little things here and there. I search the web all around tying to find how to improve my playing and I always end up at Ryan's channel who covers and explains the little details that make that big difference in my serve and rallies. Thank you, Ryan!

BEST FRIGGING TENNIS SERVE LESSON I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! SIMPLE VISUAL TIPS LIKE THE BIRTHDAY CAP THING ARE THE BEST WAY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE NEED TO DO.

[@paulstevens4859]

I’d like to add a few comments. I’ve been serving for years with social tennis palms up swing. The first time I tried this I tried to follow all the tips but without the party hat. I found that almost every time there was something wrong with my arm position, just couldn’t get it in the position shown by Ryan. Old habits are hard to kick. Then I dry practiced it at home but with the party hat on. Bingo! I noticed that in order to knock the party hat off your arm and elbow HAS to come into the correct position. Then I tried again in a new session on the court with the hat on and double bingo! It works! The hat gives you the focus point of the whole procedure and virtually corrects everything all at once. Thanks Ryan! The only thing now is to have to try to wean myself away from the hat!

[@2MinuteTennis]

Amazing! Thank you Paul for trying the hat. It really does fix the palm up service motion. Thanks for letting me know you tried it and that it helped you!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@TheProRecplayer]

Lord I hope I have an extra downstairs lol

[@warrenhilburn111]

Tried these tips this morning and they made a substantial improvement to my serve almost immediately. Thanks!

[@runningdeer19us]

One of the best videos I’ve seen in a long time! Showing my daughter this as we speak

[@2MinuteTennis]

So glad to hear they. Appreciate the support.

[@meafordmichael]

Great tips, coach; great “check-points”!

[@donaldallen1771]

This is brilliant teaching. I've played tennis all my life and had some good coaching. I'm now 78 years old. Because of Ryan, my serve is improving. Before Ryan, my best serves were in the high 60s (see what you have to look forward to?), measured with a radar gun. I know what high 70s looks like and I'm now doing it, after Ryan. And I'm getting a higher percentage of un-returnable serves in my doubles matches with mostly younger opponents. So I'm better than half as fast as Kyrgios, otherwise known as half-fast (couldn't resist). Now if I can learn to hit a proper forehand volley (backhand? No problem.), I'll be a much better doubles player.

[@trashgamedev5730]

Have you ever played with a bad player in doubles? Have any tips if you did?

[@sorenberg6212]

Agree

[@bchompoo]

Wish I could play with you. : )

[@feeldogs]

I learned more about the serve in watching this video than I have in 8 years of taking lessons and clinics from my local pros. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@azianbami]

Great lesson, my tennis trainer tried to explain something similar but this is so much clearer

[@Godzilla9]

Thanks Ryan, am 65, play recreational tennis, and learnt how to serve a faster serve today.

[@2MinuteTennis]

Thank you so much!!! Appreciate the support!!

[@waranoid]

I watched your another serve tutorial yesterday and now this and I cant wait to go and try all of these! Thanks a lot for sharing!

[@johnswanson6790]

I love Ryan’s teaching aides and analogies to other sports, like a quarterback pass, etc. This makes his lessons very relatable and logical. He also breaks the movements down very well, so we can begin to mirror his movements.

[@2MinuteTennis]

Wow john! Thank you so much!! I’m so glad how I teach helps you and others learn the movements and improve. Thanks again!!👍

I watched your video about 4 days ago and I have tried this technique with two opponents and they have both said my serve is a great weapon!! Thanks for the tip that really help, I’m more confident with my serve!!!!

[@kenseewald7301]

I used to have a powerful serve, could spin everything...then when I started playing a lot a year ago, I stopped doing the things you talk about in this video...thanks!! Can't wait to get out there and follow what you're saying. The main thing I was doing wrong was my toss...tossing it too far back makes the serve inconsistent and you lose power. Dude, you are the best instructor. Thanks!!

[@snatchbloock]

Hi Excellent video. I'm a 4.0/4.5 level player and incorporate all of your tips except one...the unit turn on my service motion. That is a great tip I will add to my serve immediately. I also use the horizontal elbow/hand position as well. It works just as you explained but I was taught it using a slightly different technique. A tennis pro I once worked with told me to keep the back of my racquet hand pointing skyward during the toss which accomplishes the same arm position and it works just as you point out. The great thing about tennis is you are never too old to learn and improve your game. I'm 76 years old and you just made my decent serve a little stronger.

[@kingsfort1]

Ryan is by far the most elucidating coach I've ever heard. His reasonings are so logical and relatable. I learned more in 5 minutes about the mechanics of the serve than I did in 4 hours of one on one coaching.

[@2MinuteTennis]

Wow thanks so much David!!! I appreciate your kind words so much !

[@Stefan-ce6rx]

Hello Ryan, i‘m from Germany and watch your channel for some weeks. Your tips are so good and you explain it so perfect. Trank you so much! And you are very sympathic!

[@patrickwilhelm9511]

[@miriammiriamxoxo]

This video helped me a lot!!! Instead of getting about 40% of my serves in correctly I know get about 85% of my serves in. Thanks for explaining it so well!! Slow motion serve (9:15)

[@manuelmoraespinola5311]

Good explanation Ryan! I'm learning a lot from you, not only with your tennis masters, but also with your understandable way speaking in English. A huge from Barcelona (Spain)

[@philipjacques9632]

I absolutely love this video. These 5 points for me are all that is required to produce that perfect (and powerful) serve. A real breakthrough concept for me was using (or simply visualizing) the "birthday hat" on my head. In order to get power (as has been stressed to me by various coaches) you must cock the wrist and then generate that wrist snap as part of the forward motion towards contact. But unless the arm is in the correct position/orientation, you will not get the desired result. The birthday hat visualization is such an easy way for the brain to understand this. If you swing in a way that knocks off the hat, the arm, hand and wrist working together will create the mechanics that will generate the perfect service motion. It works!! Thank-you Ryan

[@DirectionNext]

I have been playing tennis for 20 years and this video is far better than others. Thanks for creating this video and keep up the good work.

[@senfumastevens3076]

Hi mummy Ingrid hope you are doing well and I call you upon to get involved in our music school foundation

[@joeyankee1141]

Just working on the elbow position alone helped me tremendously today on day one of practicing serves. If you are moderately athletic this step alone puts your racquet in position for more consistent winners and a more natural, athletic, Brady like delivery. After returning and watching the video again I noticed that I had been serving with my elbow back but was in the vertical forearm position. This is one to watch again and again and work on each important step. Can’t wait for day two of focusing on palm down as well. Thanks for clear concise serve mechanics fundamentals.

[@jimmyx628]

Thank you for going straight to the point and putting the tips in the description

[@dreamandbelievenow]

Love your simple and creative way of explaining. Makes sense and clicks with me. Well done..

[@mkkkai]

maybe the best, to the point video on serve I've seen. I've always wondered about the strings down, racket in front of you position, and always wondered if my racket was too far from my head during tophy pose and drop. now I know exactly what I was doing wrong. thank you.

[@2MinuteTennis]

Amazing compliment!!! Thank you so much!!! Good luck with your serve and keep me posted n how it goes!!

[@mkkkai]

@@2MinuteTennis also think I have not been doing the arm coiling thing correctly at the end either. I always thought I had to keep the upper body turning through impact. makes me wonder how much more potential I have in my serve. :). I see your motion was quick and continuous like kygrios hitting the ball almost as it's still rising. I have struggled with that and always seem to do better with a slower motion, higher toss... thoughts?

[@sammytsui7332]

After seeing this movie & practice follow your instruction, my serve have a great improvement. Thank you so much!👍👍😊🙏

[@mkarob1]

Rayan, thank you very much, I think it's the best serve lesson I ever had, it puts together all the puzzle pieces together that I have collected from various pros over the years.

Hi Ryan. I'm thrilled to inform that I learnt and applied this serve technique and it worked very well for me. Thank you so much 🎉🎉🎉

[@paddlepower888]

Holy crap, the birthday hat tip really works! I have a more compact serve, more consistency and power. Thank you! Tip: I was too lazy to buy hats at the dollar store, so I made my own hat. How: using a 10-12" dinner plate as a template, you mark & cut a circle of thick paper (yeah, a few thicknesses of notebook paper stapled/taped together will do) make a cut from an edge to the center, form into a cone and staple together. Staple a length of elastic cord or linked rubber bands to opposite edges and you're done.

Hey thanks so much Barry!!

[@josch5736]

Oh man, this is so perfectly explained. I have so much problems with my shoulder rotator joint (hope that‘s the right word in english) called impingement and I always supposed, that‘s a cause of a wrong coiling movement of the shoulders and arms from the „high position“ to the ball. And now I think, I‘m absolutely right. I didn‘t have this move with first the racquet over the head and this deceleration of the shoulders towards the ball. It‘s more a tensed throw of the arms only towards and through the ball without coiling or at least a wrong timing of the coiling, if you know what I mean. This clear explanation will help me a lot. Thanks so much and regards from Germany. Great coaching.

[@joeblack4041]

wow, tried this afternoon, serve against the wall. Finally, after all these years, I grasp the concept of coil. I can tell the serve is very much crispy rather than me muscle over with the arm! And, less effort and get the feel of a whip motion. You are amazing Ryan! I also made a little adjustment for myself , I purposely swing my body to the left a little bit before I coil and swing my body to the right . I found at least for me , it is much smoother. What do you think, Ryan? Still working on the toss, it is still goes up and down, not forward. Again, Ryan, you are amazing, to the least, the best fit for me among all other youtubers.
