How To Hit The Perfect Tennis Serve | 3 Drills For Effortless Tennis Serve Pro Drop Power

[@ksagstertohi6156]

I’ve watched ALL the serve videos on KZbin and bought ALL the serve courses. Then I watched ALL the KZbin videos again and, this time, I watched ALL the Instagram videos as well. This happened over the course of 6 years where I spent an average of 12-16 hours a week on the courts. After doing all of this, I had a shit serve. Then…I stumbled on this video…I don’t know how I missed it, but now I have a 115mph flat serve and I can kick the ball as well. This is the video that made everything click for me. Thx, Grant. You da man!

[@GrantVanderHayden]

wow!! I appreciate that so much🏆🏆🏆🏆 If you can leave me a video testimonial here that would be AMAZING!!: grantvanderhayden.com/success

[@GrantVanderHayden]

And check out my Forehand course! grantvanderhayden.com The serve transformation system is also about to be released🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@yibozhao1012]

haha, sounds like you should quit playing tennis and become a salesman :D

[@invictus9022]

Did you find any other videos that is a must watch to improve your game?

[@cyanized0]

Wtf

[@musarra195]

I like how you add in the “common mistakes” to provide perspective and guardrails. It’s helpful. Thank you

[@Intamin]

Just so you know, your tip about leaning back and turning 45 degrees away from the baseline *transformed* my serve! I was easily a 3.0 serve and now I'm 3.5-4 in two seconds. Amazing! Thanks for this! I don't really ever have to worry about double faulting again just from that tip.

[@ejfeldmann]

This guy really puts in the work - his attention to detail is phenomenal!

[@charliecrosby1268]

Grant does a great job of simplifying both visually and verbally the serve..His instruction will definitely add power to many who follow his advice.

[@FairwayJack]

lateral tilt left shoulder higher than right; chest angled upward (spinal extension); torso rotated towards back of fence; impact occurs whilst wrist is radially deviated (thumb upward); Index finger spread for leverage

[@vamos.esqueletos]

The best tip that I received was that the racket needs to be in a really deviated position.

[@xart23x]

Gotta say, I subscribe to multiple tennis channels but, you stand out clearly. Clear, concise instruction, your technique passes the eye test and your passion comes through. You’re awesome bro. Thank you.

[@maxgluteus4263]

Grant, you the man! spine extension with lateral band, focus on elbow, these are the tips that most KZbin tennis channels never mentioned, probably because it's hard to achieve, Jeff Salsenstein and others may mention staying sideway and lateral bend but not quite as clear as you did. I'm sure you will become one of the most popular online tennis instruction channel!

[@GrantVanderHayden]

Thank you Max!!🙌🔥

[@QualeHouse]

Cannot wait to try!! You made this seem so simple because you broke it down so easily!!!!

[@Antonio84able]

Thank you for the video. This is amazing how you explain difficult technique details so they become easier to understand and implement. And your energy is second to none. Good luck and keep this great work up.

[@GrantVanderHayden]

Thank you Anton!! Join me inside the Forehand Transformation System!! grantvanderhayden.com/fts-yt

[@burtdalton5662]

I remember playing a lot of 4.5s as a 4.0 and they would crush my kick serve. Then I started tossing the ball out front and learned to hit a top spin serve and holding serve is so much easier. Great video!

[@tazman91]

Awesome energy! Not to mention clear tips and things to focus on. Can't wait to put these into practice! Also loved what you said about loving pressure and pressure being a privilege. That's a powerful mindset!

[@petergross5735]

Thank you! love the three elements...trunk, leg drive and forward tilt at contact. No one I have seen has put these together as key elements. Well done!

[@garybala000]

Super. Thx. Aside from all the great mechanics, your positive energy and brimming confidence super-charges that serve.

[@montfennelfilms]

Grant your teaching is frickin' awesome. Love how you demonstrate step by step instruction and repeat it several times so it sinks in. Great stuff..

[@johnkwan1341]

Thank you. Very useful tips and Learnt a lot from them.

[@Tang.Nguyen]

Great video. If you added in the importance of leg drive with a good knee bend, plus the importance of a trunk rotation to crest whip effect, then it would be a perfect serve video I have ever seen. Love your work!

[@drseni]

Love the check points and then the drills to practice it. Your positivity and passion really shine through and give me that extra motivation to keep striving to be a better player

[@mikelin5250]

Your explanation is absolutely clear and helpful, love your video from Taiwan :)

[@baseballthumbguard3194]

I'm in the process of watching many of your videos (adult re-entering the tennis world after a looong layoff...). GREAT INFO! I love the clear biomechanical explanations of why and how the body movements optimize the different swings. You also do a great job of making these elements attainable by your thorough breakdown of the movement step by step. Love the positive vibe, and the expression of true desire to help us, your fellow players. THANK YOU!

[@reazahmed6943]

Hi Grant, I am continuing watch your videos and I liked. But every session you teaches if you will notice us for which grip will be recommended will be more helpful. Thank you.

[@Raidersscm]

Thanks for the video. I now have a lot to work on. Especially the toss.

[@hansmiller840]

Awesome video. Lost a game today - was in hate with tennis - now I am back on track...

[@dannygloria4291]

Loved these tips and will put them into practice tomorrow

[@DavidColman14]

Hi Grant, there were a lot of takeaways from this video but I think the number one for me was the radial deviated position of the racket head before contact. That would have to account for a lot more power.

[@พิเชษฐมโนจริยานุพันธ์]

Love the way you made tennis easier keep coming

[@quangbui9761]

Love your energy and passion. Thank u!

[@mdavy1]

Really good especially for such a young guy. Insights I didn't get from well established guys on line

[@hamryalasad]

Before my tennis training three days ago, KZbin ‘suggested’ this video and I watched. It dramatically changed my serve. Thank you so much. Keep doing what you’re doing… am subscribed and following😊

[@expatwealthasia8702]

Love your video bro. Keep up the great work 👏

[@chinaski5]

Great video, Coach G! Exactly the points I most need to work on.

[@HarshaVardhan-fj4gk]

What a legend! Thanks for all the videos man! There are some massively important tips that you present across of all your videos. I am going to sign up for the forehand transformation, as a thank you to your contributions!

[@erbLLLL]

Dude, your tips on the serve and on the forehand (the 2 videos from u that I've watched) are just amazing. It has really made me understand the fundementals ALOT better. I only play once a week, so I'm going to try your tips out this wednesday. Then I'm moving on to backhand!

[@gibcoprobe66]

love the chest tilt tip. Will try to implement it.

[@rubenspereira1538]

Very good tips!

[@yourstruly5DA]

Perfect. Hitting the problem areas bang on!!!! Much appreciated.

[@markie1aa]

Phenomenal video!

[@garyrickards9562]

Great video the tip and knee bend I found particularly helpful

[@glennabellana8530]

love the step-by-step video Thank you!

[@lopas9118]

Excellent tutorial. Beautifully explained with great examples. Thank you! Blessings always!

[@andrewbccoast]

Great energy. Will be working through this progression this week. 🙏

[@BurakUyar]

Awesome explanation and tips for checking the positioning and movement. Now these are my guides for improving my serve. Thanks!

[@eggopower]

great video - love your presentation style - positive and high energy - my take away is practice to build confidence & courage which then creates a consistent amount of racket head speed

[@DCGCorp-d6z]

Loved it I am working on it The detail explanation of each movement is a must great help. Turning the racket at the end is awsome to learn, God bless

[@zandewilson]

two racket drill so good

[@Boostplumbing]

Best serve video I've seen. Also I love the enthusiasm !

[@annegross9543]

Love your energy! You’re like the Crocodile Hunter of tennis! I like the tip where you describe the racket head position in relation to leg drive. Looking forward to trying this!

[@musarra195]

I’ve watched a lot of serve videos. This was the best one. Really explains the logic behind the serve.

[@JoseLeitao]

Incredible video - I've watched multiple instructors and then I landed on your content. The way you deconstruct the phases of movement, and simplify the explanations, is just top notch. Thank you very much for putting up this content, looking forward to watch all your videos.

[@SaqMan]

Wow, you've totally won me over with your amazing energy! Your work is absolutely fantastic, and I'm so excited to see the rest of the tennis videos. Thanks for giving me a reason to subscribe!

[@nabeenhussain524]

What’s great summary, Grant! Racket tip up, before the leg drive, and keeping that racket radially deviated at contact using a maximum runway to power the shoulder into the contact point was too good. It’s the perfect checklist!

[@flambo1949]

Great stuff! Clear tips and to the point. Very efficient and effective.

[@owengottlick]

Love your lessons man. Especially this one! Gave me a totally different look at my serve. Just became a coach and it’s tough

[@MWMw-di4pj]

you did a wonderful job on the serve instruction thank you.

[@johnhan3632]

Insane amount of energy in a vid. Definitely working on these on my next practice!

[@williamhou493]

Awesome video. Love your clear explanation of the technique. Love your energy. This is the best video I’ve seen on how to serve like a pro. Thank you for your hard work.

[@andrewpratt3861]

Great video. Your enthusiasm is matched by your talent. Can't wait to start practicing these checkpoints.

[@snzh5436]

Great video! Pressure is a privilege! I love pressure! Good points I need to work on.

[@GrantVanderHayden]

YES!

[@brunolopes3055]

Grant, you really improved my serve! Tks a lot!!

[@GrantVanderHayden]

Great to hear!

[@bjornneumann8089]

wow thats impressive, explaining and just waking the serve in between like its nothing, nice 😎

[@nguyen925]

Love this video break down a d it definitely helps to reinforce your points with the slow motion clips of the big Three . Will definitely try using two rackets to see how the motion of a follow through should feel like

[@nandrew75]

Hi Grant, can you show us the pro drop? I understand it to be like the racket action before the contact point. Really insightful video. You explained and demo it very well. Thank you. And your enthusiastic style really came through too. Good work.

[@cliveburks]

You put it all together what I have been working on with much more detail re the stages also very clear. My one issue I have is can I do this serve without aggravating a long term back issue I have ? which I did playing/practicing golf 8 yrs ago. Recently I have stopped trying to do this type of serve as my back was very stiff the next morning. You make want to go back to it as my serve is so much less effective when I just hit it with minimal back and leg action. Thanks you have put together an excellent video so many helpful explanations.

[@dctrex]

Actually some excellent tips, the perfect trunk position is something that no one explains properly!

[@callmeable43]

좋은 자료와 설명에 깊은 감사드립니다. 무엇보다 당신의 열정에 그리고 놀라운 분석력과 그를 뒷받침하는 자료가 너무나 뛰어난것 같습니다. Amazing!

[@danl6961]

Fantastic editing, instruction and energy. Heading out to incorporate your new insites and take my serve to the next level. Keep up the excellence! Your work is top notch. Dan, passionate 4.5

[@dejanpoplasen5944]

Great job with the explaining.

[@barron2]

Great energy! Three basic tips that can take your serve to the next level.

[@mycommentpwnz]

GREAT VIDDDDDEO. I've watched dozens and dozens of serve videos, and for the most part, they all churning-out the same information. This is the first video I've seen that mentions one important yet subtle fact: if you don't drive with your legs at the RIGHT TIME, you won't access most of the stored kinetic energy you have in your body (from body position.)

[@davidshortt3523]

Love this guy. Excellent descriptions and man he really gets into it. UHHH!

[@deeps10]

Great video. Looking forward to trying this one out!

[@classicalloverjk]

Love this video. Easily top 5 serve video on YT. 🙏👍🎾

[@carlosalvesdesign1666]

Wow! Great class bro! Thank you very much.

[@propertywithjames]

The breakdown of the movements - loved it

[@aaronrussell5047]

LOVE the energy, great content as well.

[@NoelOco]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[@lellamas2778]

When i did my junior coaching course (Tennis Australia) - Serves and Forehands - are both similar to a baseball pitch. The serve is technically 2 throws - tossing the ball - and throwing the racquet - Power position (or unit turn) - rotation - using leg power (larger muscles) first - uncoiling - through your mid section - to the racquet.

[@cliveburks]

Racquet position if really helpful when I managed to do it my serves in my net had far more pop. Will practice on court soon and try your spike drill as well thanks again great enthusiastic presentation.

[@earlhaywood4372]

Beautiful, just beautiful.

[@tkwok1515]

Clear and effective teaching.

[@SuryaBurra-j3r]

Thank you Hayden ❤

[@russellwilcox7236]

Thanks for your enthusiam, passion, precision, spirited and very helpful serve lessons Grant.

[@daviddees5024]

The best thing in this video what is the teacher he was most enthusiastic and inspired me to just get out there and be positive in life that I could do it great work you're on your way let your light shine

[@KIYALongevity]

Best instructional serve video

[@normancook965]

Brilliant video - the exact right amount of breakdown. I've watched so many other videos, and there's was so much breakdown that I could never really "feel" what a proper motion is. I took some shadow swings, and for the first time ever I think I've actually got it. I can't wait to play this evening. Thank you.

[@Ikegeorgeo]

I love this video. This is the best I've seen so far on serving. I love your energy, keep it up!

[@sturost3769]

Your tips are excellent sir 👍🏻 Keep it up!!

[@ricdenic]

Just an excellent breakdown of the mechanics in simple terms and with real enthusiasm. Thank you so much mate ! Can’t wait to go practice!

[@tomvuong1838]

You are simply the best instructor, simple and very direct to the point. I will take your video to the court today. Thank you

[@joclarke17]

Thanks Grant for so many helpful tips, so clearly explained. I'm going to be watching this video a few times as I practice all the aspects of the serve which you explained. Love the drill practice suggestion of hitting down into the court with energy. I'll definitely try this.

[@aguinebe]

4.0 club player here. I am rebuilding my serve that degraded over time. I have implemented the first part - shoulder rotation, shoulder tilt, spine extension - and this has already yielded effortless power. If any one of these three is missing, it's powerless serves or serves where I have to manipulate the racquet to save the shot. The spine extension in particular I was missing for a long time. With it, I feel like I have "room" for the right shoulder to go up. Without spine extension, the shoulder has to go around and it's not an efficient trajectory. Anyway, looking forward to implementing the two others. Great job Grant, and thank you. You have some very special skills with regard to teaching tennis.

[@jonathangiannetti5110]

Well done. Look forward to taking this to the court.

[@machxlr8]

Best tip for me was the tilted racket head at point of contact. I was always trying to keep the rack staight up while making contact. Just tilting the racket not only increased my serve speed but also helped with keeping my first serve in. Great tip!

[@idcharles3739]

Dude! Genius! Wow!

[@jorgeboetto2228]

You have the best videos Grant. Congratulations!

[@Ajamila1acbsp]

Best ever video on tennis serve. I liked and subscribed and will refer to it often. And I'll share.

[@helploveinspire2006]

I love your energy bro. Keep on shining and thanks the great tips. Nice and succinct. Will be working on these this week. 🤟🏽🌞

[@howardchoi6978]

Wow! Great Great Great! Image is the best of best. Thank you.👍👏👏👏

[@iskios86]

Thank you so much for the great video! You totally changed the way I used to serve (actually I couldn't even serve in the court...). Great great great instructions! Now I' m soooo much better! The most important that helped me very much was the trunk position and the finger position! i keep working on serves but after I saw your video I feel so much confidence and I know what I have to work....
