[@ConnectingTennis]

Hey guys!! What other things (shots) do you struggle with? I want to keep creating videos os progressions to help you improve your game! :) Thanks for watching!

[@intento3inflexible]

Hello Gaston! I keep cleaning my forehand and this is working good!

[@chrisyi9597]

Hi Gaston great video. Can you do on slice serve?

[@3Slippers]

I want to understand how to think about it so I feel balanced and comfortable using semi-open stance. Closed and open are fine my feet just don't want to do the in between for some reason!

[@ConnectingTennis]

@@intento3inflexible great!!!

[@ConnectingTennis]

@@chrisyi9597 Hey!! Sure I will!

[@texasnaturalfoods9648]

I regret that I found this video is too late. Been looking out there the one which gives you the best and easy to follow, here is the one I found. You made my day. It is super crystal clear from what I have seen from your video. Thump up with 5 STARS

[@rajendrapatil3425]

Excellent explaination of wrist and racquet movements

[@jimcovington4038]

This is the best kick serve video.

[@glumpster]

Good morning! I've just found this video and loved your great detail and how your went through progressions that built the movement. Your understanding of suppination and pronation is also a confidence builder. I work with all ages and skills and always enjoy hearing how others demonstrate and instruct. I'd love to hear your approach to return of serve.

[@ConnectingTennis]

Hey! Thanks for the comment and for the compliment!! Sure, I will do something talking about the return of serve!

[@guillermotrujillo2451]

Thank you for this very good explanation of the kick serve nobody explain the movement of the hand thank you again

[@dh8926]

V good video. The best I have seen in relation to pronation which is key to get a good kick serve. Thank you a lot!

[@MA-dw2yl]

Excellent video. Please upload different types of serve in one video clip in order to let us compare the differences among them. Thank you for the nice kick serve video!

[@ConnectingTennis]

Hey thanks!! I will do first different effects on different videos and then I can do one big video with all the effects comparing! Thanks!!

[@osfuentes]

Hi Gaston, I think you are one of the best tennis couches in KZbin. I would like to take some lesssons from you and I am willing to travel wherever you are. Which club do you work for? Many thanks.

[@ConnectingTennis]

[@ConnectingTennis]

@@osfuentes Great! I will get in touch!!

[@lordbyron3603]

You make it look so easy! I’ll try this tomorrow.

[@nachogiraldez8590]

great instructional video. Thanks.

[@twinwankel]

Gaston thanks for the drills. I have struggled with the kick serve and until recently when I fixed flat serve did the kicker become an easy serve for me. Basically the only difference for me between the kicker and the flat serve is the placement of the toss. Because the toss is around 11 o-clock and slightly behind you, to hit the ball, the swing from the drop, pulls the racket to the left then the racket will naturally pronate to the right. If you watch the Federer swing path carefully, you will notice that he supinates his drop and thats the key that makes the pronation very natural. It's hard to tell but I don't see much supination in your drop, I would suggest you try this and see if it works for you.

[@ConnectingTennis]

Hey! Thanks for the comment. Yes, tossing behind the head is a good resource also, but it "calls" too much the serve so your opponent would be able to anticipate. I prefer to try to keep almost the same toss and bend a little more or just the let ball drop a little more. Also, I turn a little more my shoulders on the kick serve to have an easier approach from 8 to 2 on the ball. But, this pronation I mentioned in the video, you can see that Federer also does it that way.. I think every players with good kick serve pronates well and has a very quick hand! Thanks buddy!!

[@ripleypipe]

Very well explained progressions Gaston, demonstrating a consistent, effective kick serve technique, thank you. Gordon

[@ConnectingTennis]

Thanks a lot!! Really appreciate it! :)

[@poida007]

Good drills and focus on hand/forearm pronation. What about the toss location? Isn’t this also very important to succeeding with learning the kick serve?

[@AbuZeeyad]

Nice and easy to follow...Thank you i will try it on my second serve.

[@ConnectingTennis]

Thanks!! Appreciate it! :)

This explanation is also excellent! I am having a really hard time with the serve. I will try this. Thanks!

[@ConnectingTennis]

Thanks a lot! Hope it helps!! Let me know how it goes!! :)

[@liamrandall3893]

Thank Gaston! This was extremely helpful!

[@TennisTrollChannel]

Excellent explanation and details.

[@ConnectingTennis]

Thanks a lot!! :)

[@kathiananine5984]

Great video! As always :)

[@ConnectingTennis]

Thanks a lot!

[@poida007]

Your ball toss location is also important. Good progressions. 👍

[@kwansikkim8712]

How close racquet edge is heading toward the ball and when do you think the pronation starts? Thanks.

[@ConnectingTennis]

Hi.. hard to say in degrees.. but the strings are looking forward (to your opponent) until you start the pronation aaaaalmost before contact and then yes a quick hand pronation!

[@KTR147]

Well explained ... Thank you!

[@ConnectingTennis]

Thanks to you!! :)

[@borisvisic6659]

Big BRAVO....

[@TNToncourt]

Good informative video on the kick serve. Thank you.

[@ConnectingTennis]

Thanks!

[@nicolasraposo9149]

Awesome video! Very helpful!

[@ConnectingTennis]

Thanks bro!

[@oscarlopezruffy]

good-job, gaston!!!

[@ConnectingTennis]

Thanks Oscar!!

[@rharrell1]

Is there a difference in a loose hand vs flipping the wrist? I have been told if a lot of wrist motion is used, although spin is generated the ball is light or thin. So less wrist movement would equal a heavier ball.

[@AlexanderAndreev1799]

Gaston, curious.. where are you coaching currently? just curious may be its close to get some lessons :) thanks!

[@wangrobbie6867]

Best video

[@nathanmiller6051]

What happened man you don't make videos anymore? Hope all is well 🙏

[@MrMALAMOCCO]

very great

[@ConnectingTennis]

Thanks!!

[@JimArthurVanWyck]

Hi Gaston... how about the same concept of this video, but with progressions for the slice serve

[@ConnectingTennis]

Sure!! Will make one for that!!

[@sk10is73]

Check out my b18s final: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppy7gH9mrq6taZY

[@andrewbaroch2141]

Not clear.

[@jemand8462]

you can't just call every possible movement by the wrist pronation bro !! :D little here, little there, stop there, pronate to the side, pronate up... it's a destinct movement by a single joint, it's a medical term! Use it correctly or this video doesn'T make any sense. med school student.

[@ConnectingTennis]

👋🏽✌🏽

[@kwansikkim8712]

You could call it internal shoulder rotation instead. And I don't think he referred it as "wrist" pronation.
