Great lesson. ❤❤❤

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙏

[@jozcubing4806]

Very well explained Coach Simon! The way you teach it, step by step and in depth, really makes the serve so much easier to understand. For me, I was struggling a lot with my supination and pronation, and this lesson really helped. Thanks heaps, and keep up the great work!

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Awesome, good luck with the improvements 👍 All the best Simon

[@keletscalceta6776]

Again, thanks for another superb video. Saved this on my ipad so I can review and practice my serve on court. More power to your channel, Simon.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Thanks for the support Kelets. Good luck with the improvements 🙏

[@andrewshilling6208]

I've just implemented the follow through. It seems to have made an immediate improvement. Thanks so much, Simon.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Thanks for watching 🙏 Are there any lessons you would like to see in 2023?

[@cliveburks]

Thanks good tips like your insights on ball toss and power increased by a reasonably quick leg action. How about one handed backhand video can’t see one so far.

[@brokenhandler]

great lesson ever

[@zeussatrid7126]

what do you think about tsitsipas serve with his abbreviated swing? is it optimal for shoulder/elbow/wrist health long term

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

It seems to work well for him. Only time will tell if it’s a safe motion, remember, most experts predicted when Rafa was 18/19 that he would have to retire by 25 due to the physicality of his game. Nobody knows how a body will hold up, and nobody knows how hard a player is working off court to maintain their body. Djokovic for example was putting in 9-10 hours of work during training weeks a few years back. I don’t know if that’s still the case, but wouldn’t be surprised

[@zeussatrid7126]

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Thanks Simon. Im currently using his style of motion , have been for the last year and a bit but i never felt like it had a flow and rhytm. I tried your service motion today at squad training and had a coach video it and he said I need to improve the rhytm timing but I have a great serve potential. Hopefully in 3 months It will be at a place where its solid.

[@SriReddy]

Love to see your analysis on Alcarez's serve..

[@alipasaoglu85]

Good, simple and smart teaching of tennis, thank you Simon! Pronation is the most difficult part of serve, and your serve is still better than some of the top players ;)

Many thanks for the support 🙏

Thank you Simon! 😊

[@ThysiosX]

I liked the more indepth explanation of pronation. Other videos I've seen seemed to gloss over that part.

[@mytj228]

Thanks for the video. Will try to apply what you shared. I have noticed that the majority of the players toss the ball with the arm let’s say parallel to the line of serve (extending the arm through the center of body line) while others extend the left arm while tossing into the center of the court (if you draw a line between shoulders, the arm extends following that line). Is there any reason for that? Even when you shared the end up position with the left arm pointing to sky and right arm with L shaped angle you moved the arm like a “dancer” stretching both arms to contrary sided, but when tossing the ball on serves you tossed through the inside until reaching to that point. Would appreciate anyone participating and answering 😀

[@francescocurci2274]

Hi Simon and thanks a lot for your tips, always clear and easy-to-understand; i think a great plus of your tutorial is that you can explain easily both for amateurs but also for semi-pros. Another important feature that many teachers do not implement, is that anyone has his own personal swing from toss moment to power position stance. Many want to force you to their swing but I think is a waste of time because I realized how the flow is important in such a complex motion as Serve is. In December i trained on my own finding the correct power from legs and a fluency of motion and I improved a lot, then I had to stop and the most difficult issue is to recover such fluency skills. Cheers from Francesco (Italy) PS. Also easy to understand speaking, so welcome for not mother tongue like me!

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Thanks for the lovely comment Francesco All the best Simon

[@hansolsson3409]

Great video Simon! Thank you 😀.

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Thanks for the support 👍

[@teethaistralian6079]

Simon great content. I'm a shorty at 5'06 are the principles the same. i feel like I'm just going to smash it into the net

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

@Tee - focus more on using the spin serves, kick and slice

[@teethaistralian6079]

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Thanks man 👊🏼

[@davidevans1611]

I am also your height. Always remember to hit up at the ball when serving using a lot of spin. It will eliminate most net faults, and I never try to hit a flat serve.

[@markuskrabbe813]

Great stuff

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Many thanks 🙏

[@CarlUsana-o3l]

Just a beginner here, amazing tips gonna try them 😎

[@narinderpal61]

Do you guys do any private lesson ?

[@ferre9002]

Hey Simon, I think with a pinpoint stand ,one can throw the ball a little mor forward,wich exceeds in a little advantage off net clearance and preparing for net approach?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Definitely

[@alanmargu]

Love your videos. Btw, how tall are you and how much of an advantage is it to be over 6 ft in serving? I'm 5'9.

[@KKonrad]

More details about killing short balls. On different hight and different approach. When You choose to slice- net approach, when top spin kill, and when to volley them.

[@mintymintygogo]

Hi Simon I’m sure I’ve seen you serve in other videos with an abbreviated motion/ I keep changing my motion because my coach doesn’t like the shorter set up but I like the look of your serve when you get into the power position quickly without dropping the racket-the abbreviated swing you call it. I’ve seen lots of good serves with an abbreviated swing so why do I get told not to do it?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

I don’t know why you’re being told to have the full swing, that’s a question to ask your coach. But here is my reasoning for why I changed personally: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qna1dId7bpZ4p6M

[@mintymintygogo]

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial thank you Simon for sending this link

[@Jivje0is0pr0]

Great video! Like with most serve videos, I do miss a part on the stance and when to turn your body to the ball. Seems beginners (like me) often try to turn their body too quickly and pronate too early. This issue caused me to lose a lot of power and accuracy

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

It takes time to understand the timing of the motion

[@ncournault]

Would you say it's the most difficult shot in tennis, Simon? I've been learning to play left-handed and it's been an absolute struggle just to get a serve into the box, let alone serve a winner. This video will help!

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

100% the most difficult shot to master in tennis. But, hopefully these lessons will make it easier for players

[@sefermemisoglu3800]

Thank you a lot Simon! since I follow you I started to upgrade my service. Serve is such a stroke that needs to be developed over the years. whenever I add some new ingredients for a while it causes a disaster. When the transition is complete it pays off though! I'm 45 years old, my serve speed can rich 200 km/h. My concern is that, over the age to maintain it. I'm already worried about to decline in physical terms of serving. What would you recommend to keep it up and to maintain as you get aged? Thanks again!!!✨

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

Keep working on the flexibility and explosive power from the body and you should maintain most of it. The common thing that occurs is we play less as we get older and the body stiffens up and loses that elasticity which is so vital for tennis

[@redbullwiseman4805]

As a beginner Anyway to serve safe on the second hit? U have a slower hit same technique for beginners?

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

If you’re a beginner, focus firstly on just guiding the ball in. Almost pushing it

[@dunewalks5988]

Hi, is the pdf no longer available? I have added in my email a few times and verified email. Nothing there or in junk. Thanks

Hi That’s strange, which email provider are you using? Gmail seems to be very strict currently and are blocking some emails

The fundamentals, clearly illustrated. Thanks coach Simon!

To serve is the most difficult action in tennis.

[@georgebarron7429]

Does anyone know if there is anywhere I can go to get intensive tennis coaching (uk?)

[@TopTennisTrainingOfficial]

There are plenty of places, in general, the easiest place to start is a tennis club

[@frankpiccione8571]

That's for sure.

[@spy4126]

5:52 how is it possible for the ball to bounce that high 😮

Erratic bounces on the grass mixed with maximum power

Not sure what pronating means but sure does sound like something I wanna try with my wife

[@ChristopherJames4]

Some OK points, but really skip completely over toss technique and mechanics, which is the first important thing to develop. Velocity, trajectory, placement, etc.. no description or explanation of developing these key elements.
