looks like in the first demo the server did not split step in the correct position relative to the type of serve (i.e. into the body of the returner). The server should have split step further to the left IMHO

On every point when you serve.. mix up your placement and spins. Attack x 1000

These are fantastic tips which I always ATTEMPT. Lol. Problem is at only 5'8" and a slipped disc in my back I only have a kick and slice serve. With these short legs I have to scramble to get my split step done nearer the service line as opposed to too deep. Unfortunately when my serve doesn't land as intended... plan kinda goes Kaput! Lol. All in all I love your videos. Thank you

Nice I don't know why kids are taught to serve and volley at high school level. I think that's what's missing! They all play very long points that could end much quicker.
