Hit A Perfect Kick Serve

[@profagg936]

The guy is actually a lefty, but he has uploaded a mirror-image video, so the content is clearer for the majority of us. Nice.

[@TennisEvolution]

Spot on! Committed and passionate to help ;)

@@TennisEvolution I´m a lefty and I´m jelaous (like the foam roller at 20:31). Hahaha. Jeff, you´re the best!

The back lag kicking out to the side was a game changing tip. Good job!

[@joseppi4cinqua]

Nobody warms up their arm properly. I used to be a baseball pitcher. And now I’m a self taught near 4.5 tennis player, and started only 8 months ago. I discovered that warming up your arm to the point of being able to throw a baseball at top speed is where you should get to before you start serving. I can’t explain it, but you have to be able to throw your arm, hard as hell. And then you can use your body to help throw your arm. This is a key to thumping the ball. I also think of throwing the racquet, not hitting the ball. This helps tremendously. Also, you can shred your arm if your first couple of warm up serves aren’t done properly. I would love to spend some time with you. I’m a left with an amazing talent. I’m dreaming about having you stand next to me serving and tweaking little adjustments on me. I’m dreaming about it now.

[@TennisEvolution]

That's awesome! I appreciate your comment and commitment. Feel free to send me an email at [e-mail] We may be able to work something out in the future. Always happy to help.

[@peppio]

a piece of history...a poetry.. a great value for tennis...thank Jeff

[@zenfoos]

I like the exaggeration of the motion on your side when explaining kick, and in contrast to the slice. This helped me alot.

[@cookjeremiah]

This is all great information and I have applied it to my kick smash in padel . I live in Spain and padel is popular here. All these same tips apply to the kick smash where we smash it over the net and it hits the ground on the other side with top spin and then hits the back wall and kicks way up in the air. It is a great way to win a point in Padel and all the pro padel players know how to kick smash but it is very hard to find the right kind of guidance on KZbin. This is one of the very best KZbin’s for learning the kick smash in padel in my opinion.

Thank you!

Luckily I found this video. I must try those tips tomorrow. I have lost my kick serve recently. Those tips of yours are really good and valuable. ☺🤗🎾

[@MrJohnnyblazed]

This guy Jeff is so good!! hes doing everything with his off hand.. hes really a lefty!! 😎

[@victorliendo2010]

Excellent tips. The head looking at the contact point, the right leg opening out, the platform stance. Well the thing is that there are many details involved in hitting a goog kick serve ...thats why this is one of the most difficult shots in tennis particularly for recreational players...

[@lalameinc]

Another great Video, you give lessons that are on a professional level. I especially liked that you incorporated stretching exercises in order to prevent injuries and allow the body to make the movement necessary to execute the techniques you are teaching. 😃

[@AcidexMax]

WTH!!! You can get that kick with the right arm too??? You're an Icon...

[@TennisEvolution]

Thanks! but we flipped the video.

[@AcidexMax]

@@TennisEvolution Thank you for taking the time to clarify. I was feeling like a total loser. I was thinking, on a good day, I get 3/4 of that kick with my Dominant arm. Kidding aside, it's a great idea too and BTW you can still keep the Icon Card ;-)

Amazing kick even without the legs. Thx

[@hermtennis]

It's absolutely incredible and blows my mind how you can serve with your right hand so eventually when you're left handed.

[@flyboy9318]

I think he still recorded the vedio using his left hand to serve. He just flipped left to right side when editing the video. Look his shirt' nike label (shown on his right chest) and his hair style

[@paddlepower888]

@Herman Lawrence You *can* learn to serve with your non-dominant hand, by doing as I did in November 2019: injure your dominant hand. Then you *have* to learn to hit with your other hand or you won't get to play. Though my serve is still in development, during doubles play today I hit right-handed slice into the deuce court and left-handed slice into the ad court, landing balls wide, forcing weak returns, easy points and even some aces. The returners said the balls were curving away, even though I didn't see it (was I still looking up, as the Dude recommends here?)--I gotta shoot video! Yesterday, before this lesson published, I hit kick serves both left and right handed, but not as well I'd have liked--armed with today's tips, I'm going out between rain showers tomorrow to get the half serve going. Foam roller, come to papa!

[@hermtennis]

@@TennisEvolution Ahaha, really? Smart move, never would have guessed. It really does help though as most players are right handed and you (at least slow me) have to strain your brain to translate the moves from left to right.

[@markhartley5708]

Can you help by telling me exactly where the toss should be? I think you mentioned for a righty you toss it right to left and it ends up near your left shoulder? Should the ball be going over your head as it travels right to left? Behind you? In front of you? I can’t really tell just by watching the video. Thanks

[@heripurwata]

Thanks Jeff for your tutorial of kick serve. I'm focusing on the raquet start. I think this is effective. But I'd like to know what kind of the strings contact with the ball?

Muchas gracias Sergio!

[@MrChillywilly7]

Kick serve is difficult, for me at least im to much in my head with it, brush up etc..( double faulting way to much...

[@TennisEvolution]

It is not easy, yet doable with the proper tips and drills.

[@lianzhong]

I paid you for this program a few years ago, and now you released it on KZbin😢😢

[@TennisEvolution]

Which program specifically? I have not entirely released any of my online courses in the youtube channels. You may come across similar concepts, but the content inside each program is unique and just exclusive for members.

[@robrawlings4402]

sounds logical but rafter and edberg refute most of your pointers. edberg drops his head on serve and both guys bring feet next to each other on baseline. Guess they had to adapt to kick serve while getting to net asap. Anyway thx for your great content...you do lots of good stuff.

[@paddlepower888]

At my level, I find the Dude's tips on point. The pros play many levels above me and have great consistency in their stroke and ball toss. I have to look at each toss and decide on angle of the strings and even whether to catch the ball and start over. If I move my gaze off the ball early, my fat head may throw off the serve. I'm not the only one.

[@dejpsyd0421]

It’s funny seeing those old people play in the back ground 😄

[@kevinvillalobos4962]

One class better than the other and now some specific exercises. I wish American business on line would realize that in the underdevelopment countries the dollar is 1 to 6, 1 to 10 and so on. In brazil is 1 to 5,40, A minimum wage here is close to 200 usd. Prices should be in line with the markets they are reaching. One price for all countries and just Europeans and Americans can afford or the reach guys, that amount to 5% of the population. Most rich guys just want to party and drink, most are to lazy to play something. Sorry if was bitter. Just putting it out there. I feel guilt, guilt getting all this knowledge for free.

[@TennisEvolution]

Thanks for your sharing this valuable insight Roberto.

[@drbonesshow1]

Perfection in sports no matter the sport is nonsensical considering the number of variables in completing a motion. Perhaps the 3-P's (a more scientific approach) would better "serve" tennis instructors and their students: Power, Placement and Precision.

[@TennisEvolution]

Interesting approach. Thank you for sharing.

[@jeffarron7940]

Too much emphasis and repetition on what player is doing wrong. This is confusing for players who need to understand the subtleties of what needs to be done correctly. Breaking down the ways to 5 or 6 steps to learn and practice what to do right is will help erase what is being done wrong. Repeating wrongs incessantly only blocks the path to learning the right ways.

[@20842bfc]

Jeff you are too wordy!! Stop repeating yourself. Stop your parenthetical comments. Get to the point.

[@TennisEvolution]

Thank you for the feedback.

[@rosiesamuel8562]

I love the way that you re peat every step. Thank you for the free education. I feel so confident that next time that I practice this serve I learned it in detail 🙏

[@cheriemiles6648]

I've watched several of Jeff's videos. He's quite condescending to rec players. Critical of other coaches and their methods. There's more than one way to skin a cat. I watch multiple videos when I'm looking for tips on a particular stroke. He is not the authority on tennis so his instruction should be complementary to other resources available on KZbin (at this level). He's a good instructor but feel like he talks down to the audience. (in my opinion).

[@TennisEvolution]

Hi Cherie. Are you speaking about this particular video? At what point in this video is there a condescending tone? We are in agreement that I sometimes call out other methods because frommy experience there is a lot of Questionable instruction on and off line and that’s why I call it out. The good news is that there is so much content out there for you choose. I’m not the guy to complement other resources unless I believe in their coaching. John Craig is one coach I can get behind for example:

[@SquidDesign]

why can't I hear the ball being struck?... what evil sorcery is this?!

[@TennisEvolution]

Thank you for watching Jeffrey. It may be IT issues with the sound, but there's nothing evil in this content.

[@capricornmagic63]

Why do these guys talk so much? A good coach is one who can simplify the complex, a bad coach over complicates the simple. Cut out the unnecessary chatter.
