Want A Continental Grip Serve Lesson with Step By Step Drills?

[@sujankudumula4153]

By far the best video on youtube for serve tutorial. This is a very underrated channel for tennis tutorials. Thank you Kevin!

[@joevelte4252]

Best serve explanation I have ever seen. Never understood the serve until now. Thanks.

[@OrangeCaps]

Keep the elbow shoulder high. Don't turn into the court too early. Supreme tips and drills in this lesson. Great work coach!!

[@satgill830]

I’ve seen a lot of videos on manny components of the game and this may well be the BEST of anything out there. Perfect balance of what we should be doing, drills (and feel) on how to get there, step by step and common mistakes and checkpoints. Fantastic!!!

[@29snapdragons]

This lesson is great - thank you for breaking down the steps visually, it all makes more sense now!

[@dontbuy5]

This was the best coaching videos to show the breakdown of pronation, where and what the racket face is supposed to be doing. Can't wait to try these tips. Thanks a ton.

[@TennisObsessed]

This video helped me understand the point of having a continental grip. I can't wait to get on the court to try these drills. I am struggling so much with my serve. Your explanation of the swing path was so helpful. Thank you.

[@Thomas-wk9ep]

I've been trying to serve for a while but was almost giving up because videos weren't explained well enough, or were too simplistic for beginners who need to build from the ground up. This was fantastic

[@j.6420]

This is the best video by far breaking down many components of the serve and understanding the parts of continental grip serves into easy, drill based advice!

[@Chubzdoomer]

This is hands down one of the best serve lessons out there. Excellent job, Kevin!

[@phanidharyella7144]

Simple but fantastic step by step instruction which explains the cause and effect in great detail. Thank you coach Kevin 🙏

[@efont81]

Kevin, I love your vids. You were excellent on essential tennis but your channel now is even better. Great work and thanks as always for your tips.

[@serbmd]

Great serve video with excellent insight into the 3 dimensional nature of the serve (the x,y,z planes rather than the one dimensional forward pancake/flat swing most people focus on).

[@txpe75]

The best explanation I've heard to transform from frying pan get to continental grip. Very well explained. Thank you so so much!!!

[@brendano563]

The way you explain is so easy to understand! I have struggled with accurate serves and controlling power, I went straight onto court to try this and an immediate improvement!

[@mikeemma752]

I cant thank u enough. I was on the verge of giving up tennis bcos of the continental grip and the serve. For the past 3 months I hv been struggling wt the serve and the grip even my coach was unable to help. But tonight I felt great after goin tru ur drill .you are the best . Most ppl get confused wt switching from left to right to do the spinin. God bless you more. You hv solved 70% of my problem.

[@daylehaynes2792]

Thanks a million Kevin for the video, I just love the step by step explanation

[@sandeepchittareddy251]

Serve explained perfectly. Tried his tips and was able to serve faster. Thank you!

[@arteinterativa]

Watching from Brazil, GOT INSTANT RESULTS, I was struggling with this! Thanks! Subscribed!

[@haroldho19]

Excellent video. I had many decades of struggling with continental grip, swing path and pronation . I didn't figure it out until this video. Will go out to the court and work this and let you know in 1-2 months. Thanks. PS . I saw a Slinger on the left side of the court .

[@wingsaber629]

THANK YOU for this video. Was really struggling with the pronation part!

[@raphalopes495]

Thanks for putting this together in such a comprehensive way. Helped a lot! ❤❤

[@亚城双反王]

I tried this today and it actually works great!

[@mdewet4632]

This is a great video to improve the quality of a serve, thanks Kevin.

[@jennifermackin8434]

Great video! Started tennis two weeks ago. Kevin really makes a difference in breaking down the small movements and then connecting them. Great for a visual learner!

[@joshuagoldstein8170]

this is great! Going to use these techniques to help try to teach my son who to hit a serve with the continental grip

[@lindabridges9242]

Really love all the details. It makes a lot of sense and I hope to put it into practice soon!

[@niji4735]

This video and tip is underrated. Tried this out and helped me get a much big kick while gaining more consistency. Thanks!

[@jonzun0]

Great job of explaining the continental grip. It’s really helped my serve.

[@davidg.5384]

I was using a continental grip then halfway switching to a forehand grip. Seemed like the forehand grip gave me stability and power. Now I understand the whole point. Played today and was much better. Now need to practice

[@y0bama]

Great serve instructions and drills. Always super advice on this channel. Thanks Coach!

[@ShaunSweeney71]

If you hold the racquet like you hold a hammer, and give your hand some space between the fingers. Great work on this video coach. Thank you coach

[@tajsingh6504]

Very helpful. I was struggling. Your drip will help.

[@bmanbusee3812]

Great video and just tried it. However is this a spin serve?

[@uapman3752]

Practice 4-5 times a week for approximately 15 months and competence is yours. Speaking from personal experience and significant improvements

[@sram1996]

This is good to know! Thanks.

[@applemanuk]

Great tennis lesson Kevin.

[@couchprincess698]

Jesus! This helps so much. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 everyone.

[@slipperyblueclay2521]

Kevin, thanks for the instruction on mastering the continental grip. As a high school coach, so many kids have that pancake forehand grip. It's so difficult to transition to the continental. Took me a few weeks in the summer of my 2nd year playing when I was 12.

[@ClosetWorkshop]

Fantastic explanation!

[@ActuallyRenard]

Please make some more videos on basic serve, thank you!

[@Janetmouse]

This is a great video people learning to serve!

[@vipmacik]

Great work Coach!!! Thanks

[@richardleecba]

Best lesson ever! 🧙‍♂💯

[@drkiranshah]

Beautiful video. Can you share 2-3 close up photos of continental grip that shows index knuckle, base of the palm? Thanks

[@martincomesana6824]

Thank you so much! This is all i needed

[@munti9826]

The best lesson on how to use the proper grip. Look no further if you want to use a continental grip and try this!

[@p_a_o_7658]

Great explaination

[@thomasmedeiros5722]

If you want the ball to go in you hit with spin. Think about it if you hit with top spin on the forehand and backhand ground strokes why wouldn’t you hit with spin on your serve. Imparting spin requires that the racquet head have a certain angle and direction when swinging and striking the ball.So on the serve the continental grip allows you to accomplish all that is required to impart spin. If you throw a football the grip and motion of you hand and are are essential to getting a good spiral spin. When you throw a curve ball or breaking pitch in baseball you need to grip the ball properly and follow a proper throwing motion to make the ball curve or break. In my experience coaching I have found that certain previous athletic experience from other sports where throwing is essential can be useful. I pitched and played quarterback in High School so I had an understanding of spin and strategy ( moving the ball around to fool the receiver) ( placement where they are uncomfortable) etc.

[@JLennoxW]

Great video Kevin !

[@P3u99]

Excellent !

[@BenPhanStudios]

Fantastic video, thanks man!

[@juanb116]

great job kevin

[@alexeyovriakh2450]

Thank you! Awesome video!

[@kingknight9997]

Thanks man, this vid helped me out a lot

[@satyamedia9248]

very good explanation

[@rajeevprv2057]

same comments as below, have seen many but this one explains pronation the best.

[@stevebyfield1595]

Brilliant video thank you

[@vincestook104]

Just beautiful brother..so good..

[@TimGallant]

Wow, this is good stuff. Almost all of it very clearly explained, although I would have liked a bit more clarity toward the end when you were talking about having the racquet "open" or "closed."

[@deathdemonthe2597]

Thank you so much coach!!!

[@ElSupremo5]

Kevin, we hear so many different explanations of pronation. Is it conscious or not. many say no

[@andrewlilico2218]

This is such a nice lesson. How long does it take to learn to do a Continental grip serve, assuming you are reasonably committed & have average natural talent? I read that if you practice serve 3 times a week for an hour, you should be able to learn to do a Continental grip serve in as little as a year? Does that seem about right or do you think that might be optimistic?

[@neygercey7899]

Great! Thanks!

[@azulo6]

Also, nothing kills the serve-vibe like a bad toss. Tennis really teaches me how to be patient!

[@VenturiEffect02]

amazing. super clear

[@fongyinlee4312]

I like to key point about hit at the 45 Deg to the right

[@larrymoore9970]

Kevin how do I eliminate holding the continental grip but sometimes it changes on me to Eastern Forehand Grip in my swing path ??

[@AJPHIL-Dev]

Hii Coach would you help reply to this I noticed continental grip for volleying is different from serve okay am alittle short like Diego Schwartzman & I like serving with power like Isner but when I put my grip on index & palm on bevel 2 it like opens the racquet up but when I put my index knuckle on bevel 2 and my palm on bevel 1 it actually closes in the racquet & I can land balls inside the service line is that a thing or just your opinion like I said prefer using flat serves to kick serves

[@ronaldmelo1775]

Mr Kevin, about continental grip, why the bottom half of the hand could be placed on bevel 2 or even bevel 1? Is it correct?

[@Justaddsalt]

What racket are you using?

[@vladimirvidov6202]

thank you very much very good lesson I'm also coach and I agree with you 100% this is the way what I coach my kids absolutely gorgeous and people you care to trust this guy he is excellent!!!

[@berkay8634]

cant add racquet drop to my serve.. help

[@davdmoi]

Super super full details. Luckily I don’t need a college degrees to get full understanding. I do use my Continental most of time all around use. Just need more pro lessons to master this skills.

[@jayg3269]

Thank you!

[@youssefelsayed5867]

I was literally doing the same exact thing 4:10 5 hours ago at my practice, are you watching me or something???😂😂

[@kohenhill]

You are my savior lol. I hurt myself bc I thought you were supposed to rotate my entire shoulder to hit it with the face XD

[@sirc52]

TTD please if you see this tell me what racquet is that?

[@TotalTennisDomination]

I use the head radical mp.

[@robinlochsley5420]

Thank you.

[@artfulandtricky]

This guy is awesome

[@OrangeCaps]

My problem is I feel tennis elbow when I do pronation. Anatomically that's the muscle on the elbow get extended when wrist pronated. Any tips to avoid tennis elbow? Or am I putting too much stress on the muscle?

[@jeffgraham1813]

Same here. I had to shut down playing for a good 3-4 weeks and was/am afraid to go back to trying it. Any corrections to what I may be doing wrong is greatly appreciated

[@andrewsickles8498]

Make sure your grip is more angled with the index finger crawling up the grip a bit. If you make more of a fist with your grip it will cause discomfort

[@OrangeCaps]

@@andrewsickles8498 thanks much. I should try to crawl up the index finger a little more.

[@kevingolden4920]

I had to stop playing, 4 weeks now, because pronating on the serve caused medial (inside) elbow tendinitis aka golfers elbow. I played collegiate tennis 30 years ago (4.5/5.0) stopped playing 20 years ago and picked it back up 4 months ago. I started out really easy, playing mostly mini tennis for the first month, got my timing back, then started subbing on multiple 3.0/3.5 mixed doubles leagues, so wasn’t hitting or serving hard but had to stop last month because nothing was working to ease the pain even with simple movements like washing my hands and face. I was given a steroid shot and anti-inflammatory meds a few days ago and the pain has subsided for the normal movements. And even though I’ve been really wanted to try to hit again, I’m tentative because I don’t want to re-injure it. I plan to go through these steps when I think I’m ready to try serving again but would like feedback from others that may have gone through something similar and made it through the other side without re-injuring their elbow. 🙏

[@OrangeCaps]

@@kevingolden4920 I feel your pain. Here's what I did last 3 weeks. And I'm feeling a lot better on my tennis elbow. 1. Changed serve grip to cheating continental (less pronation) 2. Crawl up index finger a little more for more flex on wrist when serve 3. Switched poly string to multi filament string (NXT soft) 4. Bought a shock absorbing gel dampener 5. Supplement Turmeric. Applied topical gel and cream (volaren 1% and arnicare) twice daily on elbow. 6. Push ups. Theraband exercise. Stress ball to strengthen sounding muscles. Your pain could be from one source but for longevity it worth to approach multidimensional to fix the root cause of the pain not to mention proper techniques. Hope this helps.

[@samsanneman8363]

Good vid homie

[@gkount81]

Masterclass!!!

[@richardcraven4700]

inspiring !!

[@MS-wz4km]

Kevin is the goat

[@muratsevkisensozlu8053]

güzel anlatım

[@younorman]

flat here flat2 here, wrist flat? bottom on 2? knuckle! Just get the camera closer, slow down and take your time to show where the numbered flats are then show your hand and the palm side of the knuckle and which flat it sits on. The service explanations are great.

[@tennisone6376]

What if I just want a nice game and not looking for domination

[@neutronstyle4740]

10:30 45 angle

[@Javi_C]

👍👍

[@TotalTennisDomination]

Thanks Javi!

[@peterbedford2610]

Lifting the ball up and leaving my arm up on the toss...makes all the difference for me

[@JessicaSchmoyer]

My problem is I can’t even hit the ball with that slice thing

[@paulmaguire3454]

Excellent. My 9 year old WILL drop the waiter's tray. 😁 🎾

[@JessicaSchmoyer]

Mine just hits the head of my racket even if my path is to the right post

[@vladimirvidov6202]

💃🎾🇷🇺🕺🌴♥️👍🥰🥰
