Excellent James, this has to be the most indepth, comprehensive breakdown of then tennis serve that I've seen on KZbin or anywhere else! Love the small chunk progression exercises. This what is sorely lacking in all the tennis videos on KZbin! 👍👏👏

this guy is one of my fave youtube coach, he explain stuff very clear. Learned a lot and my serve tremendously improved.

[@OnlineTennisInstruction]

[@ziggy5466]

I always had a problem understanding the right to left and the bending at the elbow analogy. After watching this video and studying the technique in stages I realized the mistakes I was making with my serve. I wasn’t coiling enough and my elbow was too far forward at the start of my swing. The right to left movement on my serve was actually front to back. This video made it clear to me the way to implement the correct movement. Well done 👍

[@OnlineTennisInstruction]

that's great to hear Ziggy!! :) I'm happy it helped you gain a better understanding

[@kumarsabaratnam4787]

Thanks for sharing the video, Very informative, Thanks

[@OnlineTennisInstruction]

thanks for the feedback :)

[@subodhsharma6706]

Thanks so much James. For a long time my coach kept telling me to ensure the racket goes over my head and I never understood how. But in order to achieve it I changed the feet placement, grip etc and the results were inconsistent. Your service videos have simplified the tennis serve as a pivot and shows clearly the path of the racket with the full power of the body. Many thanks once again and do make a video for the one arm backhand too.

[@OnlineTennisInstruction]

thanks for the feedback! We're very happy this video helped you

Thank you so much, but my heaaad, so haard to me!!!

[@OnlineTennisInstruction]

thanks for the feedback :)

[@user-ey1ni2nr6d]

I love the dividing in 3 phases. For me important the end of ph 2 and that ph 3 starts with the elbow up. To transform it I found the idee very important to play midcourt. Last tip with only tapping brings the player to focus more on the movement itself. I think that the methology is the best on youtube, and these is the best explained model for a good serve. One question: James has a closed racket face in ph 2-3, which is not seen so often. Any advantages, and is it worth to focus on this, too?

[@OnlineTennisInstruction]

thanks for the feedback! :) regarding your question, very good observation and yes, keeping the racket face closed through phase 2 and 3 will relax your shoulder and help the racket to fall down and away from the body

[@marcodeluca4068]

But how high should elbow be as I turn ?

[@AstrologyGuy]

Thanks so much for this clear, concise explanation. 🙏🏽
