How to Hit a Great Kick Serve in 6 Easy Steps!

[@lamgefyoutoob]

This dude should come back to KZbin. He is the best tennis instructor by a mile.

[@truthteller6576]

13:51 ~ 14:26 EUREKA MOMENT!!! BRAVO. BRAVO. i owe my kick serve to you Jeremy. thank you. thank you.

[@peterrattenbury8608]

Re-visiting this one a year later. Got to be the best.

[@phildoshi3281]

Sometimes you come across someone who is a true expert in their field. This guy is one of them. Awesome teacher.

[@FundamentalTennis]

Phil Doshi thank you so much Phil, very much appreciated.

[@FundamentalTennis]

Phil Doshi thank you!

[@padmakumarct9155]

The session was a lucid one that a beginner gets a clearcut picture of the steps to do kick serve. Thanks a lot.

[@johntoorop3587]

By far the best explanations about kick serves on KZbin. I watched hundred of videos and this one is from another dimension. Crystal clear. You are the only one saying that we should wait for the ball and let it drop. I think that's the key for most of us. Not jumping and staying sideways also helps a lot to keep a "clean" gesture from the beginning to the end of the motion. This way we can really feel the sensation and get a really high bounce. You have a gift for explaining and giving simple actions to get fast result. THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!! You gave us a ton of value for free.

[@salvasirignano]

Jeremy, I hope life is treating you well and that you're making a good living through tennis. I say this because I have spent a long time trying to improve at tennis, teaching myself as I can't afford lessons, and the quality of your coaching videos is absolutely exceptional. This and your other videos are superlative. If you were a teacher in a school no pupil would ever fail. Best wishes.

[@mchangun]

Oh he's still reading the comments! Thank you also Jeremy.

[@jamiezenichi1017]

excellent video. Added to favorites and hope to learn this serve within the next few weeks.

[@michaelthompson9261]

Jeremy seems very interested in the viewers improvement than trying to prove he is the expert. Thank you man.

[@FundamentalTennis]

Michael Thompson thanks Michael

[@Jwilsonmusicdotcom]

This is the best kick serve tutorial I've seen by an absolute mile, perfectly tailored to practising on my own. Thank you

[@paddlepower888]

Jeremy, I viewed this again. One detail that I noticed watching you serve: before the wind up, you have your racket pointed into the court. I copied that and found it enhanced the fluid motion I needed to serve better kicks. That was true of flat and slice serves also. Thank you!

[@slimpickinses]

Not only will this make your second serve better it will make your first serve better. I love how in the development stages his finish is at the top. Too many people accelerate down on their serve.

[@devyanikharwadkar5442]

The best yt video on kick serve. Lots of thanks. The important lesson is to let the Ball drop and then hit up.

[@AK2BLUE]

I've been watching a number of videos on how to perform a kick serve. But your video shows the easiest techniques to progress on learning a kick serve. Thx

[@fish4096]

swing is so fluid - no tension at all its like a wave

[@GershonBenYitzhak]

I've seen a lot of videos on kick serves, this was by far one of the best. Great progression exercises.

[@simontyw7405]

I have seen other kick serve videos but i think yours is one the best for one to properly understand and practise.

[@mohanreddyduggi]

Thank you. This is the best video I have seen on kick serve...

[@FundamentalTennis]

Mohan Duggi Thanks, glad you found it helpful!

[@henrykepel]

Indeed by far the best way to learn the kick serve. Thanks.

[@raulmanzoratte8065]

Jeremy, you nail it.. Very good explanation! I would follow your advice.

[@serotlemonama2160]

Thanks very much Jeremy my serve is improving

[@stasw1]

This kid is great with his instructions. Simple break down of the mechanics of the kick serve. Thank you !

[@marylumpkin8565]

Thank you so much excellent job !

[@dgitson]

This is the best kick serve video - none of the other ones enabled me to visualize what was supposed to happen through contact point.

[@ginoo8058]

Best explanation for kick serve so far

[@dr.rickbradshaw6078]

Thanks for the detailed, incremental exercises to master the swing path for the kick serve!

[@iamsaif46]

the best kick serve lesson available on youtube. I have seen hundreds so far. trust me. Great job man ! God Bless you.

[@FundamentalTennis]

Saif Ahmed Thanks so much for the compliment!

[@alexmvelasco6651]

Part by part exceptional tutorial on kick serve! Keep-up!

[@gofish721]

Great point to wait longer before swinging up as high as you can so as to catch the ball lower and have the space to swing up through impact. While the need to do this should be logical to maximize the spin, previous serving instincts/experiences, and with no one I heard really specifically pointing that idea out, limited my kick serve as I swung and contacted "almost" as high as other serves. Although never as high, the height was still too high. Doing that 1 thing and waiting a bit has increased the kick the ball has tremendously and my kick serve is in a much better place thanks to that tip! Better net clearance, depth, and spin. Like Tom Petty sang, the "waiting is the hardest part" as it seems too easy to rush it and want to hit too soon in the ball drop... but believe it or not, singing that song line while practicing really helped me gain patience! Appreciate it!! I'm a subscriber now for sure...

[@FundamentalTennis]

kenneth elwood fisher love it!

[@dimitrisblane6368]

Does it almost feel uncomfortable/unnatural when you first started waiting for the ball to drop more before contact?

[@ahnguyen1]

Best video with steps by steps. I have been trying to hit kick serve but never can.

[@FundamentalTennis]

Vinh-An Nguyen thanks!

[@zainjafri7351]

I've watched multiple videos and This is by far the best video on how to hit a kick serve. Actaully tells you what to do, Step by step. And most importantly the fundamentals of the serve. The slow mo serves are a major plus. Great job and Thank you!

[@FundamentalTennis]

zain jafri thanks a lot I’m glad you found it useful

[@jegarajagokuldeepa]

Excellent Lesson on Kick serve one of the best in KZbin

[@georgemello3448]

I’ve noticed that your methodology in using progressive stages in the total development of a skill ( such as this kick serve) is a basic physical education technique that we were expected to perfect in our teaching process! You excel in this process of breaking down different skills, keep up the excellent job !

[@FundamentalTennis]

george mello thank you George 👍

[@steppinout67]

I like the emphasis on waiting as long as you can to hit up on the ball. I think that's a good drill because I struggle with hitting the top of the tape consistently on my topspin serve and now I realize it's probably because the ball was too high when I was trying to hit it.

[@danezu791]

it is clearly authentic, you are clearing showing you own unique concepts of learning, all others are copy paste stuff. Thank you!

[@PrinceLawrence-w9y]

It is nice to see you back on the channel

[@vikramprabhakar3441]

Where are you Jeremy? 4 years since your last videos. Do come back. They are terrific!

[@mcdust72]

Oout of the hundreds of kick serve instructions this one is among the best ... maybe the best when it comes to drills for kick serve beginners ... wait vor ver 2 including late-stage kick serve development incl comments on body motion, shoulders, etc

[@FundamentalTennis]

Eike Staub thank you Eike. Sorry, i’m not sure I understand your last sentence

[@inofromreno]

Wow , finally a great tutorial video for a kick 2nd serve ! Definitely a winner! Thank you Jeremy!

[@BowWowProductionsLTD]

Enjoyed the video. Tony Costa.

[@FundamentalTennis]

Caroline Costa outstanding!

[@carlosbedoya1954]

Good teacher. Important to master the part with no follow through at the beginning and not get impatient wanting to hit harder

[@artsgonzales]

Yup !!!... I am learning...I am going to memorize and visualize and hit balls ...I am confident I can do it..thanks

[@vincentaug9323]

Excellent tutorial Jeremy!

[@fernandoescobar583]

[@amaizenblue2266]

Brilliant instructor. Simplifies the complex elegantly.

[@FundamentalTennis]

AmaiZenBlue thank you!

[@Alaster488]

Thank you so much. In the past with other video, they don't focus on the racquet going from 9 to 12 when you brush the ball. But since you point it out now, it all make sense to me to create topspin

[@FundamentalTennis]

Alaster488 you’re welcome. I’m happy that clicked for you!

[@deanb8191]

Well explained!

[@peterpark3065]

Thank you Jeremy, you are the best!

[@aruledwin7254]

Excellent Kick Serve tutorial! I an my tennis playing son watched this. This is the first time he understood the concept of kick serve. He was hitting the ball too early and was missing the effectiveness of the kick. He has a kick serve you-tube video (google Allen's tennis), but now it looks flawed. Cant wait to go out tomorrow and try your progression. Will let you know how it turns out. Thanks for preparing the video!

[@FundamentalTennis]

Arul Edwin thanks. Happy to help. Looking forward to hearing it!

[@paddlepower888]

I've viewed kick serve instruction on many channels and done dozens of hours of drills and attempted serves. I came back to a drill from this clip because I was having trouble with consistency. I repeated the drill hitting the ball from the trophy position for about 120 balls. That helped me better burn the swing path and the ball toss into my remaining brain cells. It was difficult to get my mind past performing all the progressions and hoping to have a kick serve in an hour or two. The reality of my brain says proficiency happens over many hours of performing the drills. And I can't just assume that a good solid hit will land the ball in the service box, if the toss and swing path isn't just right. Among the tips that Pete at Crunch Time Coaching gave: LOB the BALL. Attempting to infuse velocity at my level diluted the kick. I'm learning everything left handed after I dinged my RH last year. That said, I've since tried the serve right handed--while easier, it does require some new neural pathways to do it right. Cheers everyone!

Excellent! Thanks so much! Awesome video.

[@FundamentalTennis]

D thank you!

[@charlesvanheyden3504]

Similar youtube videos about the 'kick serve' left out key elements, which elements you included such as allowing the ball to drop substantially so that the swing up causes the topspin--a very vital part of the technique.

[@lamsonnguyen2206]

exactly my point! nobody as I can recall emphasizes on letting the service toss drop down so you can hit up, otherwise you'd be hitting a flat serve or some kind of weird serve!

[@lynyrdskynyrd9742]

This is outstanding young man... you really give some good visual and movement tips Thank you.

[@joanallen2187]

Great video. Really enjoyed the lesson. Can't wait to practise it and hopefully score some points with this serve!

[@guybreaks]

Love the progressions. Great stuff. I'll have a good kick serve one day.

[@FundamentalTennis]

The Bristle Blower thanks for watching!

[@man...9739]

Thank you for explaining the kick serve !!

[@johnmansfield1398]

A difficult serve to learn(for me) but very well explained. Letting the ball drop into the hitting zone and not too much body movement are the keys for me.

[@EskoTV-VIDEO]

I also feel that this is best lesson about kick serve. Next time I shall try these progressions on the court. Than you very much. Do you have other lessons also?

[@honchileong]

Your videos are exceptional. Solid fundamentals and really well put together in terms of how to understand and learn the stroke. You and Thomaz from Feel Tennis have arguably the best tennis videos on YT. Surprised your channel wasn't recommended on my feed earlier given the amount of tennis content I consume. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge.

[@mauriciopeterlevitz8902]

Amazing vídeo Jeremy. So Far the best one I saw regarding kick serve. Thanks for sharing .

[@thopet3785]

Best Video.. im looking much on twohanded backhand also , but i can not get the hit right, but is very good video.

[@flestau]

Very clear and sistematic , thx Jeremy, I´m willing to go to the court and practice , It´s been my struggling point for years!

[@FundamentalTennis]

Fernando Lestau welcome, glad u found it helpful

[@EvokeTennis]

One mistake I made when learning kick years ago was trying too hard to generate spin. Don't concentrate too much on this, the spin will come over time with the correct loose swing path and is almost effortless to achieve like when Jeremy is doing the warm up examples

[@FundamentalTennis]

Yes, try not to try!

[@Sagan8]

I have always wanted how to kick serve and learning from this video is both fun and helpful! Thanks for doing this for us who always continue to 'upgrade' our tennis skills.🙏 I would have loved to enroll in your tennis lessons if only I lived nearby your tennis courts. 😊

Another outstanding presentation. I have a question: When I practice , I serve far better. But when I play a match, my serve is very poor. most of the time hitting at the net and double faults several times. Why does this happen? And how I can correct this? I appreciate your advise on this.
