Author: fyb Added: Sat, 16 Aug 2008 20:35:20 -0800 Duration: 89The first step of the tennis serve is the stance. The stance is how you position your body at the beginning of your service motion. The stance is important because it allows your body to move correctly during the course of your service motion. This video focuses on how you position your feet, how you hold the tennis racket, and how you hold the tennis ball in your tossing hand.

Author: fyb Added: Sat, 16 Aug 2008 20:35:20 -0800 Duration: 173The sixth step of the tennis serve is the racket drop. It's the first part of your forward swing up to the tennis ball. This video only focuses on what the upper body is doing. From the trophy pose, the tennis racket drops straight down behind your back like it is pointed at the tennis court. Also, the tossing arm drops down (just let gravity do the work). The racket drop is sometimes called "the scratch-back position" because it looks very similar to trying to scratch your back with the tennis racket.

Author: fyb Added: Sat, 16 Aug 2008 17:54:32 -0800 Duration: 221The eighth step of the tennis serve is the swing. From the racket drop, swing up "on edge" at the tennis ball. It should look like you are, initially, trying to frame the ball with the side of your tennis racket. Just before contact, you will pronate with your forearm and wrist. Pronation is covered in the next video. Also, in the racket drop your body is sideways to the net, but as you swing up at the tennis ball you will rotate so that, at contact, you are more or less facing the net.

Author: fyb Added: Sat, 16 Aug 2008 17:54:32 -0800 Duration: 225The fifth step of the tennis serve is the trophy pose. The trophy pose is the competion of your service preparation. From this position, you are ready to swing forward and hit the tennis ball. Getting to the correct trophy pose requires that you complete the toss, backswing, and knee bend -- outlined in the three previous videos in the serve fundamentals series -- at the same time. Also, you want to time your preparation so that you are hitting the trophy pose at the same instant the toss (the tennis ball) reaches it's highest point.

Author: fyb Added: Sat, 16 Aug 2008 17:54:32 -0800 Duration: 164The third step of the tennis serve is the backswing. The backswing is how you take the racket back during your serivce preparation. You're backswing needs to position your arm and the tennis racket in a way that allows you to swing forward correctly later in your service motion. The relationship between your arm and the tennis racket that allows you to do that is called the "L" position.

Author: fyb Added: Sat, 16 Aug 2008 17:54:32 -0800 Duration: 246The second step fo the tennis serve is the toss. The toss is arguably the most important part of the serve. You need to be able to put the tennis ball in a specific location above you head every single time you serve. In other words, you need a consistent toss to be an effective server. This video discusses the key elements of the toss -- how you hold the tennis ball, when and how you release the tennis ball, and what to do with your tossing arm after you've tossed the ball.

Author: fyb Added: Sat, 16 Aug 2008 17:54:32 -0800 Duration: 153The seventh part of the tennis serve is the leg push. It's the "other" part of the racket drop. We divided the racket drop into two videos to make it easier to learn. From the trophy pose, push off both legs up and into the tennis court. The key to this step is that you want to be fully pushed off your legs -- both legs should be straight -- at the same instant the tennis racket is pointed straight down behind your back. Every single good server gets to this body position, as we demonstrate in the video. It's a critical element of an effective serve.

Author: fyb Added: Sat, 16 Aug 2008 17:54:32 -0800 Duration: 87The ninth and final step of the serve is the follow through. From contact, continue to pronate and point the tennis racket down at the court. From here, bring the tennis racket around to the other side of your body. Also, you need to land so that all of the weight is on your front foot and you have your back foot kicked up. From this position, bring the tennis racket around to the other side of your body in a smooth and relaxed motion. This is the completion of your service motion.

Author: fyb Added: Sat, 16 Aug 2008 17:54:32 -0800 Duration: 150The fourth step of the tennis serve is the knee bend. Your weight transfer and knee bend will help you "get your legs" into your serve later in the motion. The weight transfer -- rocking from the front foot to the back foot to forward into the tennis court -- will also help you time your serve and develop some rhythm. The key to this particular part of the service preparation is to have your weight equally distributed on the balls of each foot by the time you reach maximum knee bend.

On wide forehands you have the option of slightly modifying your footwork, allowing you to hit with an open stance and, thus, get more upper body rotation than you otherwise would be able to.
