HOW TO SERVE 100mph

[@amirmotahari6186]

Hi, and thanks for your video, there is a huge gap between my ground strokes and serves. I tried everything but it seems it is turning into almost a brain block, if I send you a video would you be so kind to give me some tips? Thanks a lot

[@TheDjnatronic]

I am totally going do some of this.

[@Antiqueexcavator]

Not kidding. Not bragging. I served 120 back in the late 70’s. I used a head competition racquet that was my dad’s. While in a group lesson at Tam Tennis Club in the northern burbs of Chicago there was a young girl practicing with her coach on the next court. While we took a break Our coach (Bob Maramba sp?) was talking with her coach. I was shocked when he motioned for me to come over. He turned to the young girl and told her if she could consistently return my serve then she’d be able to handle any woman’s serve she faced. I spend the next half hour or so playing against her. I remember so clearly that It was like hitting against a wall. She returned everything I could give her. Her name was Andrea Yeager. That’s my tennis brush with greatness! True story. Another observation, Ryan’s service style looks EXACTLY like mine did. It’s like looking at a video of myself. I only wish I had some video of myself back in the day. Unfortunately, no one in my family was much of a photographer or videographer. Fun to watch!

[@sanjayb4159]

Nice nostalgic moments Great.!

[@enkei10]

Of all the channels I follow, this has to be the channel that I was able to take the tips and easily apply it to my game and see improvements. With that being said, I would like to start a petition to change the name of the channel to birthday hat tennis.

That made my day Nhia. Thank you! Haha that might be a good name for my channel you are correct!!

Great video! I've been playing more than 40 years and have heard many of these concepts before but I think this pulls them all together. Listen to this guy because this is how you serve.

Most clearly articulated and demonstrated serve lesson I’ve ever seen; thank you very much! I’ve just subscribed to your site.

[@kimberlyequestrian6037]

The visual with the hat is brilliant! And the explanations on improving specific parts as well as putting it all together was so good! Thanks for the great quick lesson, can’t wait until I get to apply it on the courts🎾

[@TikiCat3]

Absolutely AMAZING value in this video, Ryan! Other instructors have good tips for individual elements but you put it all together and provide ways to self-check sequencing and timing of elements in the serve. Thanks!

[@anemicroyalty8764]

You are one of the first channels I’ve ever seen that teach tennis in a easy to digest, non-dry & boring manner. Bravo.

[@2MinuteTennis]

Wow thank you!! I love teaching and I’m glad it shows!! Thanks again and if you have a video topic you’d like me to cover just let me know!!!

[@larryresnikoff6152]

This is excellent advice! Kiddos to you for putting together such a comprehensive and easy to understand video on serving.

[@oliverquast7036]

Ryan, you are great. In so many serve videos you are able to add some additional elements. Today the loose movement and the knee banding were great and are so important. In addition I like the imporance of the coiling at the beginning. It was wonderful that you compraed it with the start of a forehand. I think this is so important as it directs the ball throwing and everything else. I noticed that before the coiling you make yourself loose as well by doing small relaxing things. I like this. By the way I finally got 10 birthday caps today---my wife couldn´t believe it until I showed her your video(s)...:-), Oliver from Germany

[@KAIZENSTUDIO]

I really loved the way you explained this in such an easy manner, something I haven't seen anywhere on the internet. even though I wasn't able to serve 100 mph, my serve speed has increased with better accuracy. thanks a lot for these tips.

[@doctorduckmusic]

This is the best freaking serve video I have seen yet, thank you so much Ryan! I’m already excited to get back out on the court. My waiter’s tray has been fixed with a more over head ball toss (as opposed to out to the right), and the birthday hat technique! I love the way you explained the snap, and the overall looseness of your body and arm. I’m still a bit guilty there lol. Thank you for your wonderful videos, cheers!

[@2MinuteTennis]

Wow thank you so much Zachary! Appreciate the support. Hopefully my other videos are able to help you as much as this one! Thanks again!!

[@davidbrian2036]

I have been struggling with my serve for 30 years using my pin-point stance, and thanks to your really great video, I am encourage now to change to platform and apply strictly all your checkpoints/tips. I am completely convinced by everything you said, and after seeing tons of video about serve and tennis in general, this is to me the best one ever. I wish you would be my coach when I started to learn tennis ! And what a great idea your birthday hat. Thank you again...

[@BrunoCoutant]

Great video. Very clear step by step explanations and demonstrations. Makes a lot of sense. Thank you.

[@user-uy9py9ww4w]

Marvelous video! This is the remedy for my humble serve that I been searching for more 10 years. Nobody told how to serve more precisely than this instructor. Thank you.

[@2MinuteTennis]

wow thank you!!!

[@chango677]

Ryan, Here I am, 53 and just getting back in the game. Started at 14 and was on highschool team where my love of the sport started. Never had anyone teach me the mechanics of a proper serve. Started with your tips and tried first time at last nights lessons. If anything, 70% plus first serve in and better feeling of serve. This and your other serve video my go to's! Thank you.

[@eagleyenye945]

Loved that! No BS, just straightforward great info! thank you!

[@neilgodber1223]

Brilliant video, so useful to slowly break everything down and easy to remember.

[@doghmisalah7844]

Omg, after the first great tip you gave I was like there's no way I'm going to learn something more in this video. I'm really suprised, I've seen and been told a lot about service techniques but I never had this approach before and I've been struggling with my serve. I'm really loose when I play tennis but when it comes to the service I'm really nervous and inconsistent and tight. This video makes me look at it in a different way. I'm sure it's going to be usefull and I can't wait to use your tips. You got yourself a new subscriber! Thanks a lot !

[@tshan72]

Excellent lesson. I’m a 4.0 and have always struggled with my serve it seems. Have had many pros look at it but no one has figured out the problem. My legs and upper body was always disjointed. But that little tip about extending legs as racquet is about to pass over my head was the key (for me at least). Just played with this in mind and I was bombing my serve. Thank you so much!

[@CyberUK]

Another awesome video. This has fast become one of my favourite youtube channels and I'm only 3 videos in so far (just picked up tennis again after a long illness so loving these videos right now).

[@2MinuteTennis]

Thanks cyber! I’m uploading 2 videos everyday so there’ll be plenty of content to watch. Thanks again for the support!! Ryan 🎉✅🎾👍😊

[@2MinuteTennis]

Wow thank you so much!!!!

[@MentalyptiC]

Amazing lesson! This is pretty much what my coaches taught me as a junior. Still how I serve today and I find this method also allows for changing up your serve (kick, power) without altering the base movements a lot.

[@peterralphharley9138]

Ryan, your tips are the best ever! I've been playing 53 years and am learning every time I watch you. I'm only 77.

Thank you so much Hassan!

[@karel2050]

alright this is EXACTLY what I needed no one has ever told me to be relaxed I got the instructions from my coach and kinda did my own thing, but once I worked on being relaxed and loose everything changed my serves were more consistent, faster and just in general felt way better and I didn't spend as much energy and above all that as a coach myself I give lessons to kids I am definitely going to use the birthday hat method not only will it give them a better serve after all, but also a great motivation/fun tool thanks for this amazing video I learned a lot from it not only for my own game and that says a lot. Have a good one and stay safe and never stop playing!

Thank you so much Ryan your video training is amazing since I played tennis haven't really serve very well powerful serve. I just tried to put the serve in and follow it up with my good returns and strokes. I do good volley but if I have a good serve i could easily kill the ball. That is why i will practice the training you gave. Thanks a lot. More power to your trainings.

[@maxzagor6446]

Very good video. I knew about the movement of the left hand towards the body - which looks a bit counterintuitive at first - but you are the only one who explained the reason why it is done (slowing down the body to enhance the whipping effect). Now that I know what it is for, I am more likely to implement the tip. Thanks a lot Ryan!

[@farislazim3909]

Good insights. U broke the various movements & gave a very good illustration & explanation. Good video

[@rizwanasoulliard9058]

Wow! This was very clear for some of us who have had trouble understanding when the leg drive should actually happen. Some players instinctively understand when the leg drive should happen. However, this video really helps understand when it should happen. Very grateful for these tips.

So glad to hear that. Thanks for trusting me to help your serve!

[@Skivstar]

Growing up I was blessed with what my coaches (from other sports) would refer to as having great sporting biomechanics, being able to play any sport that involved hitting something, and I had this amazing knack of just being able to copy the movements of my favourite tennis players around Sampras, Agassi era. I taught myself how to hit every tennis stroke (including serving like in this vid) just by simply watching Sampras play on television lol. I'm 36 now and sadly I could never breakdown the skill and explain how to teach it to my children so using this amazing breakdown of all the different movements involved with the serve will definitely help teaching my younger ones, love the birthday hat idea! Thank you!!!!

[@2MinuteTennis]

I’m so happy this video will help you teach your children. For a more complete review of the serve try this video. It’s a serve lesson I made for an online student. A-Z review. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZjak2Z5aZt2qaM

The coil-uncoil parallelism with the forehand body movement is awesome! And many recreational players neglect coiling when serving, while they do it perfectly when hitting forehands!

[@laurencecorray]

Brilliant Ryan! Sampras is the best example of tucking in the left hand towards your chest to create the snap effect or whip effect therein adding incredible power and speed to your serve.

[@danroll81]

Great tips, helped me on my serves by at least 20%. Birthday hat is a must and all my serves I remind myself of it now. Thanks for some ACEs!

[@resalm62]

These tips are very useful and they work. I was looking for a way to add power with out muscling the server, which tends to cause arm pain. After applying these tips, already day 1 it has made a difference in adding power and reducing the arm strain felt when serving. TOP TIP!
