Proper LEG DRIVE Timing On The Serve

[@christianceron558]

One of the best explanations of how the body mechanics works at the moment of serve. Keep doing this. Your videos are amazing.

[@2MinuteTennis]

Wow thank you!! Glad you like them. I’ll keep making them. Appreciate the kind words.

[@user-sj8ng1wy4h]

BRO...I watched your other 20 minute video on the serve...AND THIS BIRTHDAY THING CHANGED EVERYTHINGGG Literally, the only time that I miss now is when I am tired. It is absolutely CRAZZYYY how much I am hitting inside the service box. THANK YOU SO SO SOOOOOOO MUCH MAN!!!!

[@2MinuteTennis]

Dude I’m so excited to hear that. It’s a great way to fix so many problems with the serve. Thanks for letting me know and for the support. Have an awesome day.

[@lordbyron3603]

Yup,,, the birthday hat analogy fixed my serve to after 40 years. Amazing insight.

[@mauriciodenardipeterlevitz3694]

All of us have movements that we have been doing for years, sometimes decades, this is why is so difficult to change, and most of the time a new movement make things worst when we first try to do it. We just don't have the right timing and the muzzle memory plays against us. This initial frustration leads us to think that may be a new movement is not good for us and will not bring progress to our game, this is why explanations like the one with the racquet facing down and it's circular movement is so import for us to do not quit to try to change into a new movement, even when it seems not right in the beginning. Great video , as usual.

[@walterkasper467]

Amazing. Never had the biomechanics explained like this. I have just finished watching your other service video. Wish I knew this 50 years ago. I have my work cut out for me. With this knowledge I hope that at 68 I can improve my serve Thanks for the truly GREAT video

[@2MinuteTennis]

Thank you Walter. What a nice and supportive comment. Best of luck and let me know if you need any help as you try the new motion. 😊

[@hotaylor1021]

Well said and analysis the contra body motion during the serve of tennis.

[@johnseo9334]

This was such an amazing explanation of the leg drive. Subscribed!

[@deldridg]

Wow - that was the best 2 minute explanation of the serve I've come across! ;-) Seriously, many thanks, fabulous stuff and now I can't wait to don the birthday hat and drill this kinetic chain action into my shabby tennis neural pathways! Cheers mate, from sunny Sydney - Dave

[@2MinuteTennis]

Thanks Dave! Appreciate the support.

[@sophiepouit4904]

I just say bravo ! I practise this kind of serve since a while, your explanation is perfect 🎾👍👏

[@abanga]

Extremely Helpful! thanks a lot, Ryan. I will definitely try this myself and with my students

[@rsleo6186]

Ryan, something I think you need to think about. First off, I watch a lot of videos to help me with my game. Yours are among the best I've seen . Very thorough and well presented. I've subscribed to your channel and plan to watch all of your videos. That brings me to the point of the post. While I don't mind watching you shoot videos in your driveway, I think it takes away from the credibility of your work. There's not one other channel I've ever watched that did not shoot their videos on a tennis court. Being involved in marketing, I think that the level of professionalism takes a hit without you being present on a court. I'd love to see your views count go up, and I'm not saying this is the sole reason for it being low, but I think your doing a great job and would like to see you succeed . Keep up the good work, and I'll be watching more either way. Thanks

[@2MinuteTennis]

rsleo61 thank you so much for the support. And I appreciate you saying what you’ve said. Simply put, with COVID and extenuating circumstances my time teaching is very limited right now. The few days I’m able to teach on court I teach from 7am to 6pm straight with no break. The other days I’m home helping my two young kids with virtual schooling. So at the moment I have zero time to film on court. That being said I’m doing my best and atm my best is in my driveway. Otherwise I would’ve be making content at all. As for what other coaches are doing vs me I can’t control that. I also know that when coaches are in my situation they don’t make content. But that doesn’t stop me. I know what I’m teaching is helping people and if standing in my driveway vs on a tennis court doesn’t make people want to listen to me then I can’t control that. Trust me...I’d rather be on a tennis court. But that’s not possible right now. My on court lesson schedule is completely packed and my responsibilities as a husband and father are allowing for it. Thanks for understanding.

[@rsleo6186]

@@2MinuteTennis By no means was I implying anything negative, if thats how I sounded , please forgive me. I really like what I've seen in your videos and want you to have success. Again, I apologize if I came across negatively

[@nathanrodriguez7033]

Thank you. Really great video and teaching.

[@2MinuteTennis]

Thanks so much Nathan!

[@r.u.kidding8696]

Fantastic communication skills, kudos too you !!!

[@2MinuteTennis]

Wow thanks. Glad you liked the video!!!

[@tenniscoach]

Hi coach you should display your name out prominently instead of "2 minute tennis" which BTW is a misnomer. As a fellow pro i employ a lot of visual and comparison techniques in driving my point across. I must say you have honed it to a superb coms level. Your knowledge of biomechanics is solid. Perfect lesson delivery!

[@2MinuteTennis]

Thank you so much for the kind words. Very much appreciate you supportive comments.

[@tenniscoach]

Just to add "hands go up ..legs go down" .. i put it as "hands go right first then up n knees push right".. this is IMO is a intermediate half step to prevent too fast a tossing motion ..

[@2MinuteTennis]

Agreed. Thanks so much!

[@MD-of2xv]

Awesome instruction !!!

[@2MinuteTennis]

Thanks so much MD

[@waynewood8730]

A great visual breakdown of the serve movements, and the actual idea of wearing the birthday hat is such an effective training exercise. Well done!

[@2MinuteTennis]

Thank you so much!! Yes the bday hat works amazingly well for fixing many issues that can happen while serving. Glad you liked it!!!

[@deldridg]

Well, I have given this a bit of practice now and played my normal Mon night comp last night. While I still have a long way to go, I served the lights out and my experienced playing partners were a bit stunned to be honest, but probably not as stunned as I was! Thank you SO much - this has really helped. More party hat drills for me - can't way! Cheers again from Sydney - Dave

[@hupengwuwei]

Even you give this lesson on your drive way, I still decided to subscribe :D)), your idea of knock down B-day hat really helped me, the video helps too! THANKS!

[@deethra726]

After months of watching your birthday hat videos I finally got some. I found that I only manage to knock the birthday hat back but not fully off of my head the way that you do. I'm going to work on that next time I practice serves!

[@peterbrown4953]

This is a great explanation of the leg drive on a tennis serve! You have really simplified the process. I'm going to go out and buy a birthday hat. Thanks for the video!

[@2MinuteTennis]

Wow thanks so much Peter!! Here’s another video on the bday hat serve!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/foCkep2lrrh2oa8

[@markmitchell5204]

Great video! Very helpful!!

[@andresguerra5489]

U R Awesome! I wish I had been taught tennis simplified body mechanics like u teach them. Hat may be funny, but very effective. It gets the end product accomplished. Would like to take some tennis lessons with u.

[@2MinuteTennis]

Wow thank you for the kind words!!!!!!! 👍😊🎉

[@kartkan]

You are awesome. The only one who I have heard on youtube vids talk abt the leg drive timing is Rick Macci. Even he did not have a simple tool like the birthday hat to actually help the player know where they r at wrt the correct timing. I am going to try this on my 10 yr old who has the circular motion right but is struggling with the leg drive timing. She is way too late like you mentioned in the video. This should show her when to trigger the leg drive.

[@2MinuteTennis]

Oh I’m so excited to hear you’ll be trying this with your daughter. Please let me know how it goes. And if you need me to give you my feedback please email me any videos to [e-mail].

[@rooneysharddrive5013]

Good job sir!!!

[@2MinuteTennis]

Hey thank you so much!!!

[@smartplayer1255]

nice fantastic tutorial!!!!!!!!!!!

[@2MinuteTennis]

Thanks so much!

[@mightbefire]

This is really good. I needed to hear this. I'm a split-second late with this. Roddick starts to go up long before he gets to the birthday hat which might explain a lot.

[@deepsagar9]

Thank you Ryan, a big fan of your videos. I am actually struggling with my Serve especially getting out of Waiter tray serve and have watched your other video on how to correct it. After watching the Waiter tray serve correction drills, I am watching this. Just a point of confusion and thats where i am facing a huge issue is When do i start coiling with respect to the tossing? A. If i toss and then start the coiling, i am finding myself short on time and therefore losing out on Racket drop B. If I coil and then toss, the toss is becoming erratic. Good luck to you and the channel

[@FairwayJack]

good stuff

[@talesara74]

Well explained

[@humanentity2214]

RF racquet doesn't drop on edge. It's pretty close to the strings facing up at the sky but he does get a deep racquet drop just like Sampras and Becker.

[@2MinuteTennis]

You’re right.

[@humanentity2214]

@@2MinuteTennis thanks. I got very obsessed with the edge drop until I came across a video from the intuitive tennis coach. It mentioned the two ways and it gave me peace of mind to focus on other elements on my game. I use both your and his tips especially on the serve. Thanks for the great hacks to remember the sequences during drills

[@marktace1]

Legs provide a large percentage of the speed on the serve. The energy required to go from 90 mph to 110 mph is an increase of 50% as energy is a function of velocity squared. Also, you might want to take a look at Serena’s serve with left arm fully extended and racquet straight down as she takes it back.

[@darrenmoss2918]

Brilliant the way you explain things party hat trick brilliant

[@K4R3N]

Arms up, body (coil) down. Got it coach. Just video-d myself serving slow motion. Think my timing is wrong.

[@quocdang4376]

Thank you for your tip.

[@orleansgac4088]

Really great explanation. I have 2 questions though. As the non hitting arm goes up when does it toss the ball? From the video it looks like during the coil, however I tried this and the motion of my body made my toss inconsistent. Is that just something I have to overcome? 2nd question if you have a pin point stance when does the legs come together?

[@AndrewMoetennis]

Hi Ryan, hope you’re doing well! I was wondering if there was such thing as exploding your legs too early? Thank you, great videos always amazing!

[@brunomagnani9212]

Love it.

[@at1838]

Very helpful! Thanks Ryan! A quick question: some say one should be done releasing the toss before bending down, bc otherwise the bending interfere with the toss and the timing becomes more difficulty. How do you feel about that?

[@2MinuteTennis]

What I’ve noticed is if the player is platform then beginning the knees bending as you release is normal. If pinpoint then toss first then bend.

[@tsugps2940]

@@2MinuteTennis Just like Agassi.

[@robertorodriguezflores9779]

Thank you!! Fantastic!!;

[@cuongvtable]

I wonder how you may toss the ball in front of the base line when your left hand goes behind in because of the coiling motion of the upper body.

[@amquangthanh5943]

Thanks

[@2MinuteTennis]

So happy to help!!

[@ytexsg5083]

Hi Coach Ryan, just to have some clarification about the proper drive leg. Is it the same application or technique regardless you have a Flat Form (Foot Back) or Pin Point (Foot-Up) Serve stance? particularly on weight transfer? Thanks

[@2MinuteTennis]

Yes. Same timing with both. The pinpoint stance allows for more cooking but other than that it’s the same.

[@icejohnny21]

hey mate - love your videos, couldnt find any contact info on your channel, do you do paid video reviews?

[@2MinuteTennis]

Hey!! Thanks for the question. Yes I do. Go to 2MinuteTennis.net, create a free account, and check out my video lesson offers. What stroke(s) do you need help with???

[@deepseadiver8191]

There’s a guy in my driveway knocking a party hat off of his had with a tennis racquet over and over again!

[@pjm_219]

Its funny, I’ve seen several vids on serving, could never figure it out until today. But while I was practicing the birthday hat serve and I’m comfortable with the mechanics of the swing, but after practicing it for maybe an hour, I noticed my wrist was hurting. Is it because of over use or am I gripping the racket too tight? Any advice.

[@bahtiyarkoyuncu1203]

I will try it Tnx

[@santi_vag_escaneos]

When do circular serves mi shot always slice. I need flat stroke. Help

[@2MinuteTennis]

As you approach the ball turn the racket flat to the back of the ball. It’s called probation. 👍

[@santi_vag_escaneos]

@@2MinuteTennis OKOK pronation correctly solution? thanks from argentina, sorry for my english, now follow you on IG

[@narsimha1089]

After looking at your video,watched Federer Nd djokovic serve ,except coiling everything they are doing as you mentioned.. I don’t see they are coiling

[@narsimha1089]

So is coiling and uncoiling are required?can you refer a player who does that..so we can watch his videos to observe the pattern

[@JayJay-sc2oo]

What if you take the racket straight back?

[@2MinuteTennis]

Hey thanks for the question. Can you elaborate what you mean by straight back?
