Hit A Great Slice Serve

[@jramirezfellowes]

I just realized the video is mirrored since Jeff is a lefty... thanks it really makes it easier to follow for righties 🤚

[@TennisEvolution]

You're welcome Justin , thank you for watching.

[@johnheberttennis1173]

Great lesson Jeff. Not just technique but all the discussion on tactics is right on. thanks.

[@christopherpollak7448]

Hey Jeff...Could you go into greater depth on the importance of the "Trigger Finger" when serving? Thank You.

[@hktmc300]

Can't wait to try your technique next time. Thanks

[@TennisEvolution]

You're welcome, let me know how it went!

[@PrecisionPointTennis]

Really excellent. A big bow of gratitude 🙏🥇🎾❤️

[@rosar6294]

jeff it's really fantastic to see a previous top 100 pro actually being able to really describe technically what's going on in the strokes. Brilliant. Can't wait tomorrow to not be concerned by the fact my opponent will see me toss to the right. I'll think flat, and carve only after. Fantastic advice

[@TennisEvolution]

Thank you Ro! I appreciate your nice comment!

[@garycounsil4932]

Thanks so much. Listening to my serve helped me a lot.

[@TennisEvolution]

Awesome! You’re welcome.

Jeff, great video. I stopped playing tennis for 25 years, I’m now 58 and love tennis again. I play twice a week. Unfortunately, I bought into the birthday hat motion, now I don’t know how to stop it. Also, where do I am with a deuce side slice serve? Thank you. Joe

[@robben1986]

thanks for the video, i'm gonna test that on my next tournament next month (competition is back in belgium from june)

[@TennisEvolution]

You're welcome, let me know how it goes!

[@torrubirubi]

Great video, I will try again the slice. I gave up the slice service because I didn’t try to play it with such power. This looks awesome!

[@TennisEvolution]

Amazing, let me know how it went!

[@torrubirubi]

In doubles against not so strong opponents it went surprisingly well. I played it more aggressively than in the past; often the ball didn’t come back. I will begin to teach it to my own students (beginners). Thanks again!

[@TennisEvolution]

@@torrubirubi Awesome! You’re welcome.

[@stephen9375]

Thanks for the videos, also a lefty. The hard slider slice serve to the body is my favorite. Still working on it, still learning the game, but when done well the 'heat seeking missle' aspect when jammed into right handed players is the best.

[@TennisEvolution]

You're welcome! Spot on.

[@Mb-nr8jw]

Amazing lesson Jeff, perfect tips on slice serve for me to try out this weekend

[@TennisEvolution]

Thank you Milos! Let me know how it goes.

[@asaadsalazar7582]

Hey Jeff do you think you can talk about trusting your strokes and having confidence in yourself?

[@TennisEvolution]

Thank you for your comment Asaad. I will consider your topic advice for a future video. In the meantime, I would recommend you check out the following kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGfKgKisidt7Z68

[@sharankalyan786]

Hello Jeff, Few questions : 1) Your explanation on the continental grip for slice serve is good but when the opponent come backs with a strong return , this continental grip will take reaction time away from us to stay in the rally with forehand right ??? (Because we need to change the grip right after the serve) 2) How can we generate pace with this serve ?? 3) on grass courts how come someone generate the swing on the T in ward and out ward ?? Please explain how to generate swing (inswing /out swing)

[@billwall9886]

How do you carve or slice after contact and still pronate?

[@oceankim8]

Hi Jeff, Are you a lefty or right-handed? It looks like you can play with both hands! Amazing!

[@TennisEvolution]

Hi Don, I'm lefty but we have flipped various videos in the past. Thanks for watching!

[@oceankim8]

@@TennisEvolution I am also a lefty. Just watch the video of you vs Michael Chang in 1997!

[@TennisEvolution]

@@oceankim8 Awesome!

[@6291390]

hi, great vid, thanks. I am wondering if you could make a comparison and analysis of Fededer's slice serve vs S.Williams's ? these two have the best slice serve on tour from male and female players, however their techniques are quite different, I mean the way of pronation. I'd like to know which one is better for amateurs to copy?

[@svarodzic]

well, that's why you didn't get a heart emoji from Jef. I have seen even low tier pros doesn't know how to serve slice. This is one of those cases. No pronation - no serve! I don't care what serve it is: flat, slice or kick.

[@user-jv9qz2bu1r]

Coach, what about a slight backhand grip?

[@user-jv9qz2bu1r]

Ah, I see you even answered that, thanks.

[@petrtamler4484]

Most people say still to go on edge and to pronate at the end but not so much, as against you who sám to go flat and supinate at the end, Raonich e.g does it First way? Both ways are possible as it looks

[@tennistan463]

Nice! U made a video as a right-handed player.

[@larryedwards3627]

The original version was flipped his nike symbol is backwards lol

[@TennisEvolution]

Thank you! we actually flipped the video.

[@TennisEvolution]

@@larryedwards3627 Yes!

[@wing.cheunglai2811]

Good

[@lynnmiller5940]

Just gave a lesson to some of the teenage boys I coach on this, and have them experiment with how far off to the side they can toss the ball and still get it in the correct box-which also gives them what I call the "super slice." So, I totally agree with what you talked about in your video.

[@TennisEvolution]

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience Lynn.

[@Studio42Brooklyn]

would have been nice to have the actual sound of the shots

[@imtiajyafi1215]

My slice serve going long. Help me

Thanks!

[@marcmarc5217]

This sounds so contradicting and what happen to shoulder Or shoulder???

[@germanslice]

I like hitting flat with power first and then slice it afterwards. So I have no problem with power in the slice serve. I've always believed that as a power server you are serving good only if the feet of your opponent are put in trouble over the doubles alley with the serving and also down the middle T. The idea is to wrongfoot your opponent down the Middle T as well as take advantage of the short weak returns this type of serve will cause in forcing the opponent out over the tramlines into no man's land.. I think Federer use this ball toss. .

[@ts440s]

Jeff, are you pronating, nobody will settle this on a slice. Is there pronation?

[@Brian_Pathitta_Life_Journey]

skipped the first 4 mins of it. it is for beginners. But good information for experienced players after that. interesting thing is that it is like 2 separate videos. one for the beginner to fix the grip and the other one for those that wants to improve the slice serve.

[@scootosan]

"That's an Ace"...... (exactly)

[@mwang7034]

I hit mostly Aces when practicing serves... The rest are all faults.

[@TennisEvolution]

Yes!

[@mowghlee]

Why slice serve and slow serve is not popular

[@TennisEvolution]

Not sure. It depends on each player.

[@joeimbesi99]

Nadal did to Roger..Big Slices, Rog returned then Powerful high loopy forehand to Rogs Backhand = WIN!

[@gregmaier5151]

Used car salesman voice 🤣🤦🏼‍♂️

[@svarodzic]

If there is no pronation on the serve - it means you don't know what are u talking about.
