From the racquet drop, roger srill remains on edge considerable time before starting circular motion parallel to base line and thats what also give the kicker required speed for kick

Awesome kick serve video as usual. I've watched pretty much all the kick serve videos on Youtube, but I've never seen anyone address the ideal head position at the moment of contact. I've been trying to develop my kicker this past winter and noticed that just before I hit the ball, if I drop my head a bit to look forward (instead of looking way up at the ball above or behind my head), I find that it's a bit easier to swing thru it. Do you find that is the case to help with a more natural swing path without an extended head/neck to restrict your swing? We've always been taught to keep your eye on the ball as you hit it, but I wonder if it's better not to for the kicker?

Full disclosure: I am revisiting your videos on the beginner's serve. Never a strong part of my game, in recent months the serve has been just awful, so I am going back to basics. Seems I stopped using the Continental grip, so really have to start at square one. I'll find out today playing doubles if I'm on the right track. My tennis buddy calls what I'm going through "the yips" and I cannot disagree with that. I'll cover this kick serve video all in good time. Baby steps....

Great tips Nate! I've been working on the kick serve for years and am still struggling with it but sometimes when I get that extension it kicks well. That last tip is key to working the ball. Thank you!

Thanks for tips, they're all on my practice for a long while. But my problem is less forwards-power in kick, I can have kick and ball bounce high and out of court at Ad zone. But power seems less, some others' advice to me is toss more into the court, body leaning to the ball and jump inside the court (sure keep body and swing path sideway). Can you advise?
