5 Drills For EASY Serve Pronation! Tennis Serve Lesson

[@billbrandine5857]

This lesson was one of the best I've seen on the net. It was easy to comprehend, your demonstrations were clear cut and explained nicely, the visuals were done well, and the drills you gave with advice was dead on accurate and very helpful. I'm impressed. This is from a former USPTA guy with perfect scores on my playing and teaching tests. I'm going to recommend this video to people I know who could use this to improve their service motions, whether they like it or not. 😂😂👍

The palm slap exercise is such a good idea and I can practice it anywhere during my day. Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback Telmo. Keep me updated on your progress. Thanks, John

I have two coaches teaching me how to do the pronation, but this video is far better than anything.

[@bbrrwwnn]

This is the best description of the mechanics of pronation I have seen. As a new assistant high school coach I struggle to teach this and find a lot of resistance based on players’ lack of understanding why. I’m looking forward to trying this.

Hi Bill, Thanks for the great feedback. Keep me posted on your team’s progress. Best, John

What an excellent video. That long axis coming from the shoulder IS the correct power source, rather than the Radius and Ulna rolling around each other only. So good John.

…From about 10:13 - 10:20, might be the most important 7 seconds ever, in learning what the serve motion is, as far as the arm portion.

You hit the nail on the head at 9:12, "the ball is a distraction." I discovered that when I tried to serve with my eyes shut--that confirmed my toss inconsistency, but it also helped me know where my body parts were. This lesson fits right in with "The Inner Game of Tennis". THANK YOU!! Jeff PS. My greatest struggle: "chasing" a bad toss and losing technique. Short term goals: learn to place the ball in the strike zone and acquire the discipline to recognize a bad toss and to restart the serve.

Awesome comments and contribution to the lesson...thank you! Best, John

Thank you, Bob! I hope you are doing well! Best, John

[@greatndit]

This is what i looking for ! many videos about serve is always about : how many degree your body , how many degree your leg , how many degree your rotation and so on. but they dont show what to do at the moment of impact

[@PerformancePlusTennis]

Glad to know the video was helpful to you! Please be sure to check out my serving playlist for more lessons. Thanks, John.

I'm a QB in football and this helped so much with understanding pronation.

[@PerformancePlusTennis]

Awesome! Thanks, John

[@markmitchell5204]

These are great drills! They immediately helped the pronation on my serve.

[@PerformancePlusTennis]

Hi Mark, I am glad to hear it! Keep me updated on your progress. Best, John

[@pauljohnston]

great video, john. particularly liked the picking up the ball professionally which I had never linked to pronation (and never been able to do!)

[@PerformancePlusTennis]

Thanks for the feedback, Paul ! How’s that Ball pick up coming along? Best, John.

Easy steps to follow. 👍. Also great that you don’t use the term wrist snap which implies to use wrist flexion

Thanks Jason! Best, John

I have never played tennis before but for some reason I just feel like I would excel in it

[@PerformancePlusTennis]

Go for it!

[@zacharylore3400]

Thank you John for these steps. As a player who wasn’t coached, I decided to film myself and noticed that even though my racket drop was good, my racket opened up way too early and there was no pronation. In your experience how long does it take a player to develop this skill? Does it take longer for a rec player who has served the wrong way for years and has to overcome muscle memory.

[@PerformancePlusTennis]

Hi Zachary, Thanks for your questions. It does take time. This is one of the more challenging changes to make, but it can be done! The more you rehearse without the ball, the better, until you really start to feel and produce the right motion. Good luck and keep me updated on your progress. Best, John

Hello John. Can I ask you if high level players pronate their arms/ shoulders on a slice serve, or do they supinate on a slice serve?

[@PerformancePlusTennis]

Hi Peter, Thanks for reaching out with a great question. I will address this in my video that will be released Friday morning. Stay tuned! Best, John

[@willzsportscards]

Pronation is (fairly) simple. 1) get full extension at contact 2) keep your edge as long as possible and 3) accelerate dammit! If you get enough racket head speed, and do the first two, you will naturally pronate. You have to. Beginners and intermediates may tense up and decelerate and that gets in the way of what should naturally happen....assuming your form and toss are proper too. big ifs I know.

[@PerformancePlusTennis]

Hi Will, Thanks for your feedback and comments...very useful contribution to the video! Best, John

@@PerformancePlusTennis it worked. The most important thing for me is what you say about hold light and feel weight of the racquet head (very very imp. for me) and then bending the knees for Proper trophy position … I had plantar fasciitis so was having tough time loading for the trophy position…
