Tried the 'scooping' method tonight and hit better slices than ever before. Way more pace than I expected. Thanks for the tips!

[@marcusms6301]

Out of all the people teaching tennis online you're one of the few that make sense. Thanks for the video.

[@massimosanticchia3404]

Your instructional videos are simply the best. Particularly the ones on the serve. You isolate the fundamental points and then actually demonstrate by performing the stroke. I can’t find anybody on you tube with the same high level and practical coaching.

[@davidyasui9357]

I'd love to see you do an analysis of the Shapovalov slice to the ad court.

[@michaelh.1588]

Hey Nick. Great Video!! I completly ruined my slice serve by trying to improve it with pronation. I will try to get it back with your tips. Can you please make a video about aiming the slice serve to other targets? For example to the T on the deuce side.

[@commondirtbagz7130]

My coach is a pro tennis coach and everything you’ve said I’ve heard from him. He recently told me that a loose wrist on your serve is one of the biggest and most dangerous myths in tennis.

[@bmtspain6839]

ask him if there is radial to ulnar deviation and flexion and extension in your slice serve ( let me know please ) thanks

[@dcweber1]

Great discussion of eastern bh vs continental grip.

[@deeps10]

This a great channel. Learning a lot. Keep the content coming

[@willmurphy6663]

You have taught me so much, thank you

[@IntuitiveTennis]

💯🙌🙏

[@Ballcheese289]

You should do organized videos of every stroke and footwork technique

[@mauricecatayan3406]

For me, following through with internal shoulder rotation and pronation is essential for protecting my wrist. Otherwise, my wrist gets pulled by the racket inertia into excessive ulnar deviation, as a result of swinging the racket on edge. For me, my arm must transition from swinging the racket on edge to internally rotating and pronating, with contact occurring in between, to protect my wrist from excessive ulnar deviation.

This is very helpful about the nuances on the slice serve....eastern BH grip feels weird to me and find the ball floats more and dosen't slide out as much. Rather kicks up

[@kimonshc_0579]

Nice video thanx for the help

[@harryherman5371]

Myth 4 needs a whole video. Where to strike the ball exactly. Thanks

[@LaBambaCL]

are there different amounts of slice (curving ball path) on a slice serve? or does a player develop only one slice serve? lefties seems to have/cultivate more curve on their slice serves. seems, you've described two effects: 1. the racquet angle is sl. "open" as you say, and 2. the racquet path is sl. "lateral" as you say, so can the ratio of the two effects be varied? since both affect the ball path, and sidespin.

Very interstate video . I am right-handed player . When I have flat serve , I pronate. For this scoop-style slice serve , seems the way is the opposite to the pronation. It is the other way around , is this correct understanding? Thanks

[@IntuitiveTennis]

There can be continuing pronation with scoop motion. Check links in description

[@berfava]

On 2'51" slow motion I see the pronation before the "palm over the sky" finishing movement.

[@kissmyab]

The reason I use eastern grip is pronation. By pronating you can hit the ball better with eastern grip.

[@bluewaterhorizon]

Have you seen video clip of Tsitsipas and Kyrgios delivering huge slice serves which was circulation on the social media some time ago? On their service motion palm of the hane and racket face was pointing up in front of their bodies. With the service motion you describe here, it is not possible.

[@mericusta1988]

hi, what is the string and tension on your Pure drive?

[@narsimha1089]

Nick thanks for your video.. but Roger Federer swings and pronate on his right side for slice serve? Is that not true.. also lot of online coaches in you tube videos are saying opposite things like one say pronates and another say not to probate.. it’s confusing ordinary students a lot sadly..

[@EskoTV-VIDEO]

I "had" to press like button, because of the devil's number 666. Nice tips again. Can you do video from the opponent's view also showing how much does the ball curve.

[@ziaulmannan9635]

Super like!!

[@ericfreeman5795]

Excellent video. About the use of a more eastern backhand grip on the serve, it always seemed to me that this kind of grip forces you to do an increased pronation of the forearm during the serve in order to achieve a neutral racquet head position at contact. In fact, Edberg did pronate a lot during his "kicker".

[@laykefindley6604]

But that's just the thing, you aren't going for a neutral contact. Just like a semi western forehand often contacts the ball at a 45 degree angle, an eastern back grip on your slice serve is intended to hit the ball at degree angle, adding more spin. Sure, if you want more power on a slice serve, a flat face is ideal, but if you want more slice, 45 is where it's at, and that's best done by shifting your grip just like for a semi-western forehand.

[@rodf9000]

This makes sense, but how do you get enough racket head speed without pronation?

[@_APV_]

Watched a recent video of Patrick Mouratoglou teaching slice serve by "carving" the ball, had to go back to this video to make sure my mind wasn't playing tricks. Why do top coaches have to contradict each other so often? :D Video is /watch?v=6ko_0cjfP-0 at about 2:30 if anyone is interested.

[@bmtspain6839]

myth 3 i never heard about ( after 40 years tennis ) and scoop does look very similar to carving if you ask me ( i also think that get the racket in the right angle is done by pronation )

[@Emmanuel68281]

Me encantan tus videos

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Gracias

[@rajeshhkkapoor8549]

courts are beautiful and awesome

[@bluewaterhorizon]

Have you see the short clip of Tsitsipas and Kyrgios delivering huge slice serves? In the their service motion it ends with the palm of the hand and racket face pointing upwards in front of their bodies. With the motion you describe here this is not possible.

[@gameDev_Pat]

can I get some links?

[@ethanolsoup]

in the vid, kygrios doesnt pronate, tsitsipas does

[@damirpetrov4160]

Bravo Nikola ovo sa zglobom mi nije bilo jasno. Pozdrav iz Dalmacije..

[@Javi_C]

👍

[@imtiajyafi1215]

My slice serve going long. Help me

[@theresidetective1646]

what is your rating? 5.5?

[@mattcarlson8262]

Carving or scoping is the same thing.

[@mowghlee]

Why slice serve and slow serve is not popular
