{Serve Lesson} Perfect Serve Practice for 3.5 tennis players

[@indirajayaraman4758]

Fantastic tip to keep the racket behind head and hit. I am 67, a lady ITF winner, and recently discovered that I was getting pronation without knowing I was! Now I realize I was doing what you recommend automatically.

[@benoit5227]

I am a fresh 3.5 player after 1 year as 3.0. Went today with a bag of 40 balls to try, step by step, the method of Peter. It was great especially starting the serve with the racket touching the top of the head! Dropping the racket from there is very easy and the result is immediate, it’s awesome! Many thanks.

[@PeterFreemantennis]

this is awesome! great job

[@poonremote]

Wonderous! A combination of humor and knowledge! I love it!

[@maireadmaccy4336]

Love your passion! Your energy vibrates through the screen!!!! Best serve break down lesson ever!!.Can't wait to try!!❤🎉🎉

[@PeterFreemantennis]

Thanks so much

[@sambutta]

Thanks Pete! Plan on teaching this concept.!!!

[@PeterFreemantennis]

thanks buddy...let me know how it goes

[@petergrootendorst9753]

Great work Pete! 👌🏼👌🏼

[@waideal7422]

damn, I am laughing way too hard than I should, but pure facts :D

[@tangochef526]

Tough tennis love!👏🏿

[@rainsprinkle1965]

Love your step by step progression! Love it for serve and all of my other strokes!

[@DaveSoltura]

Avalanche analogy seemed ridiculous, but it’s super intuitive! I can finally do a racket drop without thinking of it as a backswing. Thank you!

[@PeterFreemantennis]

glad it worke...great job for working hard on it...I know change is not easy...congrats my friend

[@rafaelcanova6924]

Fantastic

[@rucas10]

Great, great, great Pete !!

[@PeterFreemantennis]

thanks for all your support...I appreciate it

[@joshualeifer3335]

excellent breakdown. thanks, coach!

[@zaya5704]

You are an amazing! I think you could start a academy like Patrick Moratoglou. Thanks a lot! You're my life saver. I really wanna see u in person to take lesson courses.❤ But I live in Myanmar(Burma).😂

[@PeterFreemantennis]

Wow, thank you!

[@danieli.9252]

The description of progression learning really works for me. I've taken lessons over the past year but nobody ever presented the information to me in that way. Do you have something similar for a two-handed backhand? Trying to absorb the technique for the entire shot all at once is overwhelming.

[@rosbif00]

hey pete, i've been following soooo many tennis youtube channels, and your serve tips are really really good (use theme for my GF)

[@PeterFreemantennis]

thanks Chris glad you liked it

[@scissorsharp9032]

Actually think that starting the racket on the back of my head is a game changer... my shoulder muscles hate it, so makes sense as to why I WT.... I'll be sure to let you know how your advise pays of. 👍

[@kenfuliang]

awesome

[@EyeDriveATruck]

I’ve never taken lessons or played for a team, but I’m over 40 and this video makes me want to enter a tournament.

[@markplumb3968]

Would like to see some serve lessons, where the right foot lands in the court first ( for RH ) Becker style …….

[@bxbzbjsjsjdj8784]

Amazing

[@newt8139]

is this for first serve or second serve thank you ❤❤

[@maireadmaccy4336]

Both I'd say,....just put more power into 1st. and take it easy for 2nd!!

[@hughthomas4906]

This technique immediatly gets you into the proper rythum without have to over think it. I tried it yesterday and it immediately had an impact. You say try this for several months inside the service line. What should I do in matches between then, continue this motion or go back to whatever I do to get it over the net?

[@PeterFreemantennis]

Just do your normal motion in matches... this will take a while before it is automatic in matches

[@christophejousse5394]

love this one 🤣

[@marianoetchegoyhen2756]

Hey Pete, Love the gesture watching the thumbnail, but how can I match that with watching the ball at the toss? Thanks for all! Mariano from Argentina

[@PeterFreemantennis]

well that is a great question...when you watch the thumbnail I want those to be shadow strokes so you can get that feel. the next step would be to do shadow strokes correctly without watching the thumb...and then finally add a toss and hit....I am talking several thousand reps to bake this in...just do this 5 minutes a day and your serve will drastically improve

[@tehatte]

You can be a comedian or an actor too. I’m 3.5 and I’ve cared about technique and learned a lot from youtube so I overall hit with right technique including serve like this. I don’t have tons of power because I’m only 5’3” tall and 135 lbs, but without the right technique I’d be worse than what I’m doing. I’ve found more than 90% of players I know don’t care about learning and changing to play better. If someone does and they follow your lessons they can likely learn it. The majority of 3.0 and 3.5 players do the waiter serve but some of them serve pretty hard due to their size.

[@PeterFreemantennis]

thanks great comments and happy you have put in the work on your serve

[@santocarone3721]

Dunlop CX 400?

[@crosscourtrabbitcompletetennis]

Excellent learning progression. Also, very entertaining. One question: when would you suggest introducing pronation?

[@PeterFreemantennis]

I would not worry about talking about pronation until the player has very solid fundamentals...and often the player with great technique does it naturally where you don't need to talk about it or focus on it that much

[@tehatte]

From my own experience, work with hitting the ball with the racket edge for a while first , then when you get used to it the next step is to turn the rackethead when it gets close to the ball so it hits the ball with the strings. That’s how the pronation comes without you thinking about it.

[@oceancrossing]

There are so many moving parts on the serve. Will add more to the list of changes. thanks.

[@eric6650]

I find that I put too much spin and it doesn’t go over or it does go over but the pace is soft and it allows the other player to come in and attack. What am I doing wrong in this case?

[@scissorsharp9032]

If your gonna take 3 minutes to get to the point, do it like this video 🤣... 👍 I have serious difficulties on the serve, I film it and watch it in horror. Toss behind, slinging WT even with a continental grip though I do recover quite well. All that said, I have only been playing 5 months but hoping your videos help me progress faster than I'm already doing.

[@PeterFreemantennis]

Good luck...my best advice is to do lots of progression drills working on one skill at a time...since you have only played 5 months you have a real chance at developing a beautiful serve if you start practicing the right way

[@JimArthurVanWyck]

Totally hilarious

[@PeterFreemantennis]

it was kind of funny...thanks

[@LuisPerez-hu5sn]

if would be a lot better if the poor attempts to some kind of comedy or jokes were left aside to be honest... but is a good drill and practice indeed...

[@Liz-nx2br]

1st thing, get a dog.

[@binsin3233]

Too bloody long winded

[@LubaLuba1]

Why you instructors keep wasting time and never show the right way to a serve is sickening so much to do and you give your viewers nothing.

[@maireadmaccy4336]

You must be watching wrong vid

[@sanz8607]

There might be five minutes worth of useful contents,the rest is just useless blah,blah,blah

[@maireadmaccy4336]

You're watching wrong vid

[@reuelray]

Another Lefty, Goodbye.. Turn the vid around man, most people are righty. At the very least alternate between lefty and righty.🤷🏿‍♂️

[@Jingoa]

Just imagine it's a mirror. It's not that hard. Sincerely, a lefty who rarely ever sees other lefties coaching technique
