Playing since many years, but struggling so hard with the serve. Watched so many videos, but this was by far the most detailed. Great job!

I want to show this video to my Wife who is a 2.5-3.0 needs to build some confidence in her serve. Even good for more advanced players that wants to make sure on the fundamentals.
Nice job! Thanks!

I’m a new high school coach with little playing experience so your serving instruction vid provided an easy to follow progression. Thanks!

I am new to tennis and struggling with the serve and this video has helped me so much . when things are broken down and made simplified in only a few steps, it is really helpful! TY!

[jennifernsmith]

This was extremely helpful! I know nothing about tennis but am learning because my high-schooler joined this year. I'll definitely look at your other videos too.

Really like these two - I am a beginner and keep coming back to their videos for help and inspiration. Really clear, concise and fun! Thank you!!

Well produced guys. Blows mine out of the water. Keep up the good work!

Excellent use of the curtain (fence) to learn the basic serve technique. I would add tucking the tossing arm into the chest as a way to initiate the upward motion of the racket. The tucking motion helps keep the racket arm from coming around too quickly (stay sideways as long as possible). I agree it is better to start serving toward the add court but for true beginners I would also suggest starting to serve from the service line and then gradually move back to the base line. Great job gentleman.

My school just announced that tennis is allowed to play so hopefully I can regain my confidence with my sever. Thanks ☺️

Been waiting for this video, was literally just searching for it last week. Thanks!

Excellent video, I've been playing tennis for 2 years now (learning)... I have lessons and play matches, but just a few chances to win because my serve is crap, I find it so difficult to learn, I practice over and over and I feel I am not coordinated enough to do it, even thinking to give up the sport many times and move on to padel.
I am 32 years old and took the first racket at 30.

Thanks for the video guys, I'll try the exercises and come back with more comment.

Very helpful starting point for people looking to rebuild their serves with proper technique and mechanics.

[sunshinedays]

Planning on practicing the toss. I want to do it right, even though I've been playing a long time. I like how you showed what to do step by step. Thanks. :)

[samantharuddock]

Thank you for the tips! I just started playing tennis this year and have three lessons down on forehand and backhand. Going to this out today and see how it goes! 😀

[DenrellAriola]

[Apoz]

This is great guys, both of you. But I prefer it when one of you guys talk! It makes the video more compact, to the point and easier to keep attention. It also gives you guys a bit more flow in your way of explaining.

[joanneineson]

Thanks heaps for this video. Just learning and really need help with my serves, especially the ball toss. NOW I know I should be using my shoulder! Can’t wait to practise tomorrow, so thanks for the help.
