Serving is the TOUGHEST shot in tennis.
It is the most physically demanding shot, and it's a shot that requires a high amount of skill, technique, and most importantly practice.
Tips:
1. PRACTICE!!!!!!!
Serving is a shot that can easily be improved with practice. Serving can become a weapon instead of a liability within a matter of a month or less if they do about a bucket of balls a day. Just go rights after school or work to the courts and just do about a bucket. This should take about 15 minutes and it can improve a person a lot. This is also a great tactic because when a person starts doing homework or they are relaxing at home it is hard to get up and go play. So the best thing to do is to go right after school or work.
2. Get more speed while getting it in
A lot of people say to snap the wrist down during a serve to get more power, while this may be correct the coach hasn't explained it correctly. What a person should do is actually swing upwards and snap the wrist forwards. Forwards and down may seem like it is the same thing, but it is not. A person should snap from when their wrist is all the way back, snapping down implies for a person to snap when their arm is straight, but this is actually too late. This may be a little confusing and I will make a video to clarify in the future, as this is a really great tip.
3. Use the platform stance
Now I know people are going to disagree and that I will be considered a troll, but you should really start using the platform stance. Here's why:
Serving is like throwing a ball and when you are balanced in the platform stance then you can throw faster.
Some people will argue that a person gets more of their body weight and force into the ball with pinpoint stance, but a person can still get as much forward force with a platform stance if they do it right.
That's all for now
Hope to see you guys soon!
