Unlock your Kick Serve - Progressions ✅ #tennis

Master your kick serve with these easy drills ⬇️:

1. Ball toss - place a target behind you and try to toss the ball to land on it consistently. This will give you the ability to get underneath the ball and even catch inside of the ball to get the ultimate kick.

2. Contact point - allow the ball to drop behind your back giving you the ability to brush up on it. Catching the ball too high only allows you to hit down on it which is fine for flat serves but not kick serves.

3. Feel the contact- the brushing effect on the ball is vital so strengthening your wrist and forearm for that spin effect will help you be more confident to do it.

4. Feel the pronation - your hand must go from a supinated to a pronated position giving you an easy way to generate racquet head speed “snap”. Brush the ball up and into your hand, you should see the ball rotating in the air.

5. Feel the trajectory - you will need to throw the hand up and put away from your body making. Stand in the boxes and practice the move over the net.

6. Feel the trajectory with racquet - use the racquet same as above to feel the trajectory of the racquet head moving up and away.

7. Kick serve from knee - eliminates the legs and encourages you to bring the ball in through racquet head speed and the correct ball trajectory.

8. Lob serve (arm) - use your arm to lob serve the ball into the box with the maximum net clearance you can do, the ball should leave up off your racquet and bend into the box, it is a spin lob.

9. Lob serve (legs) - add legs to the lob serve to give a drive up into the ball giving more height and spin.

10. Full motion - add more power and speed to the lob serve until you start seeing the ball kicking away on the bounce.

Great 101. Still can’t get over your hitting session with Roger!

This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen on drills to help with kick.

oh yes! this is what I need - sensible drills that break the serve right down to its elements. It may be one of the hardest shots in all sport, excepting perhaps a 3-point shot in basketball - and that is only hard because it is low margin. Serving is hard because it is complicated - reasonable margin, but very finnicky.

Thank you Alex. Always informative and easy to follow.

[errolblanco]

Thanks That’s some really good info bro.

For me personally I have a lot of trouble with the contact point on the kick. I have done the contact point drill you displayed and it’s helped but not solved my problem. Is there anything else you would suggest I can do to really feel the proper contact point on the kick? Thanks so much for all the amazing content!

What strings do you enjoy with the Pure Drive? Thanks!

[stoyanplugarov]

if you show me that with a newbie i would believe it more that its effective

[harryhughdiner]

Okay but this is advanced. Most people are never going to be at this level. That’s why no one plays anymore.

[rohitavadhani]

My shoulder is still sore from that stuff 😂. I am going to have to get better at the first serve

[milkod]
