Powerful Serve Stance Tip (Deuce vs Ad Court) I TENNIS SERVE LESSON

[@stratguitarman7831]

Being a lefty myself good to see some coaching from a lefty. Too many lessons for right handed that we lefties have to turn around.

[@AlexPlaySports]

Great stuff Jeff! And what I like very much about you and your video instruction: when you add to your statements that "benefit of a doubt" meaning you point out that even though you believe what you say is correct, there might be exceptions and it's not necessary set in stone. That's humble and honest and authentic and that 's rare in people that have a statute of profesional coaches. top class man ! :)

[@TennisEvolution]

Thank you! Appreciate your nice words.

[@junyor757]

Thanks for the help! You and the coach from TENNIS HAUS help me out greatly!

[@TennisEvolution]

You're welcome Vincent! Thank you for watching.

[@redrocklead]

Jeff, Thanks. I'm a lefty and have been subscribed for a few weeks. I got a new stick and bought it out today. At the end of our session I asked to hit a few serves. My partner was convinced my new racquet was making my serve pop. I did not refer him to your site.

[@TennisEvolution]

Ha ha you're welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@kenharris7194]

Nice 👌 tip Jeff! I am going to experiment with the stance on both the deuce and the add side.

[@TennisEvolution]

Thank you Ken! Let me know how it goes.

[@tennis47]

Excellent tips!

[@jamespeters9012]

Great stuff. I was taught a single stance but the stance really makes a difference for me ...especially for the kick. As you noted in another video Federer moves his sometimes when serving just in the beginning of the motion- so he's actually changing his stance. I always thought it was just a habit, but I think your right because he doesn't do it all the time.

[@TennisEvolution]

Thank you James! That's right.

[@taylorbanh4099]

Lessons from a former pro + a lefty = two thumbs up :)

[@TennisEvolution]

Thanks Taylor!

[@MahaVeerbathmaraju]

Excellent lesson. My couch suggested the same, as you mentioned today, when I was trying from Ad side, as my serve was going out on the side lines... now I know why my coach was suggesting it and I even tried your lesson on how to handle fast balls, it really work. highly appreciated for your videos, your doing a great work

[@TennisEvolution]

You're welcome Maha! Thanks for your valuable feedback.

[@shriramoka]

Great observation 👍🏻

[@ProfessorBoooty]

Thank you for your answer, Jeff!!!!!!

[@TennisEvolution]

You're welcome! Thanks for sending it through.

[@ringo119]

I practice that exact foot placement strategy as a righty. I can say from experience that it helps achieve the kick and slice movements as well as a repeatable serve routine.

[@TennisEvolution]

Awesome!

[@Tony07UK]

John McEnroe was also a left-handed player - his serve was somewhat unorthodox yet very effective in his era against his peer group of world professionals. The sideways stance he adopted and felt comfortable with was apparently because of a back problem.

[@villaralph3102]

Nice tip. Im a lefty and im excited to try this on court

[@TennisEvolution]

Awesome Villa! Let me know how it goes.

[@lcervantes8505]

Great lesson. Answers a lot of questions. Need to study. QUESTION: Is there a stance, or technique, that will deliver power and spin while saving one's lower back? Asking for an old fart friend.

[@tenisaddict]

Great advice for the parallel stance for the adv side! I'd actually now have a much better ( & more confident!) serve at the adv side than the deuce side ....LOL!

[@TennisEvolution]

Thanks for watching!

[@Osnosis]

What you’re saying is that the angle between the feet (pointing) remains the same, you are just switching which foot is parallel/angled to the baseline.

[@TennisEvolution]

Correct, that minor adjustment can make a big difference. Thanks for watching.

[@evanc.2382]

It is the same as the approach in volleyball. Whoever has played volleyball knows that to get ready to spike, one attacks the net on different angle. As lefty one would go straight to net on left side, and from out of court toward net on right side. Angles apply similar to the stance for the tennis serve. (I imagine sometimes that the ad side is still the deuce side by 'flipping' the court in my mind...lol.)

[@TennisEvolution]

Interesting perspective Evan. Thank you for watching and sharing.

[@stratguitarman7831]

Wish there was a lesson devoted to how to use left handed strategy best against right handed players

[@martinroa]

Jeff, do you offer some kind of short program where I could send you videos of my serve so that you can identify which parts might be going wrong and worth working on?

[@TennisEvolution]

Hi Martin, thanks for your comment. Please send us an email at support@tennisevolution. We will provide more details on how we can help you transform your serve.

[@drbonesshow1]

As a left-handed server if you took a step back (sideways) with your right foot and onto the toes of the foot so that you can shift your weight ~90% to the back foot (left foot) you would open your hips for a powerful rotation as you push off the back foot and drive the front foot into the court. A simple adjustment to your platform stance. For the right-handed server the feet would obviously be reversed.

[@TennisEvolution]

Don R. Mueller, Ph.D. Can you please make a video to show us how it works?

[@drbonesshow1]

@@TennisEvolution I guess I will have to. I'll be sending my serve videos to Rich Neher of Tennis Media Group.

[@TennisEvolution]

Don R. Mueller, Ph.D. Awesome 👏

[@Osnosis]

I think that’s what Federer does...

[@drbonesshow1]

@@Osnosis No, Mr. Federer (like the rest of the platform servers) does not move his front foot back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3y7pYmHo9abeJY BTW: this simple bit of physics can't be learned via osmosis Mr./Mrs./Ms. Osnosis. So learn it from someone who does know and that would be me: www.nytimes.com/2018/05/11/sports/tennis/don-mueller-rackets.html

[@adamdowner7812]

Is having a slide over kick serve better on the 2nd serve also?

[@TennisEvolution]

It depends Adam. Both can work for a 2nd serve.

[@paulaakram3025]

The front foot is pointed in the slice and the flat serve, right? Also It should be more parallel to the baseline in kick serve?

[@TennisEvolution]

Yes Paula. Thanks for your comment.

[@chriswu8514]

So Jeff, would you keep the same stance variation between flat and slice and then just change it for the topspin kicker ? Thanks

[@TennisEvolution]

Yes Chris. Thanks for watching.

[@EskoTV-VIDEO]

Show some time, how the ball curves (video from other side). Now I cannot see curving almost at all. Can you also serve from right side also? For righties, it is difficult to observe the serve.

[@TennisEvolution]

Hey Esko. Thanks for your comment. You can flip the video using the following link www.mirrorthevideo.com//watch?v=rm0kIb5Pzu8

[@EskoTV-VIDEO]

@@TennisEvolution Ok. That is interesting. I shall try. Thanks.

[@TennisEvolution]

@@EskoTV-VIDEO You're welcome!

[@viksinha5410]

If you have a different stance for the wide serve and the T serve, then won't your opponents know where the serve is coming?

[@TennisEvolution]

They might, but if you hit it well enough , it won't matter.

[@Chad-dl3yn]

How come you(adavanced player) are able to play / or plays all the time with babolat pure drive ? To me babolat is great for beginner & intermediate players and for advanced players its kinda detrimental to their style/skill.

[@tonkihonks3430]

Huge problem with all of his videos. He’s a lefty. Majority of beginners who are massively right handed can get no use or comprehension of the videos

[@TennisEvolution]

Tonki Honks you can watch the videos flipped to the righty
