I would have loved to have had Mr. Craig teach me how to serve in tennis. I learned in 5 minutes on a wall before tryouts for my high school tennis team. Never quite got the serve right. He seems so patient. But then again, that's the mark of a good teacher.

I love the idea of breaking up the serve into parts, and practicing each part.

[DulcieWilcox]

This video was very helpful for me - thank you!

John I really liked 3 things you mentioned that I haven’t thought a lot about...

1. Back heel up when bouncing
2. Let a majority of the racquets weight rest in tossing hand when in the ready position
3. Avoid catching poor tosses

Best of luck on your tennis progress Adriana! 👍👍👏👏🎾🎾🎾 I'm sure with John's excellent instruction, you will develop into a very good player, as you seem to have very good athletic skills and a fast learner! 🎾🎾🎾

I wish I had internet & youtube back in the late 80's.... to explain all these details

This video and the previous video explain to me the problems that I have been having with my serve, overall I am a 3.0 but my service pretty darn terrible and the reason is that I have been serving with the forehand grip for over a year now, I play consistently at least two to three times a week (for most weeks) And while it has helped me become a 3.0 from almost a novice, But at the same time it has really harm the progression of my serve because I have been serving with forehand grip just to get the ball into play And I have been consistent with that, But the price is that my bad habit has gotten so solid that it's difficult to change it now. But this video and has another video on the serve grip did a wonderful job of helping me understand where I'm going wrong.

[andycsun]

Very good lesson for beginners. You are calm teacher.

[mvmcali]

What is your body doing exactly As you toss? Is it still rocking backward? Are your knees bending down whilr you are tossing ?

[syedjaffar]

Hey John Can I hire you for my 5 Yrs Old son, please. I live in Peterborough Ontario Canada. You are an amazing coach.

@ 3:11 she grabs the racquet with the right grip instinctively! Relaxed, open hand, near Continental.

[DelPhillips]

Thank you... although, I'm not so sure that was her normal serve at the beginning 😅 the ball bounce was too fluid

John, my 9 year old granddaughter is working on her serve. She can toss the ball correctly most of the time but she hits the ball high and long (sort of a lob). Is she not bringing the racket around quickly enough?
