How To Hit A Perfect Kick Serve In Tennis - 3 Steps

How To Hit Perfect Kick Serve In Tennis - 3 Steps. In this brand new video Top Tennis Training coach Simon Konov (LTA Level 4 Senior Performance and RPT National Professional coach) will share with you three steps to hitting a perfect kick serve.
Here are the three steps to follow:
1. Using the continental grip. This grip will allow the proper mechanics to occur prior to, during and after contact. If you don't use this grip these actions will not be possible and the kick serve will not work.
2. The ball toss - toss the ball more to your left and slightly behind your head on the kick serve. This will allow you to hit the ball from 8 o'clock to 2 o'clock on the ball (bottom left hand side to top right hand side).
3. Shoulder over shoulder action and staying sideways throughout the serve which will help you actually hit the ball from the 8-2 o'clock motion.

Hi Simon, this is Martin Caparros. You coached me at David Lloyds RP when I was a small kid. I really enjoy the lessons you gave to me and your videos help to improve. Now I am 11 years old and I live in Singapore. My dad keeps advertising Top Tennis Training channel to everybody here. I just wanted to thank you for all the lessons you gave to me. Let's keep in touch. Martin

You are so good at this!!! If it only was that easy. My brain understands everything, but then there is the body 😅

best kick serve video on youtube, especially the shoulder part, now the motion it's way more clear in my head, thank you Simon.

You spiritual connection with your viewing audience is unbelievably astounding, but your humility, a virtue in very few is comforting . Shhhh that's the sign of competence .

[hansolsson]

That shoulder over shoulder motion
is really important!
Also extending the arm as much as possible.
Those two things made me improve
my serve today.
Thank you.
Hans

Some useful tips here, I'll be trying the feet and the shoulder rocking. I'm just into the first couple of weeks of this serve so it's proving to be a bit tough. But I'll get there.

Great video. I watched this to develop a strong 2nd serve, but found the kick serve to be so effective at the USTA 4.0 club level that I often use it as my 1st serve. It really causes a lot of problems for my opponents. Thanks!!

Hi Simon, Konnichiwa (hello in Japanese) from Tokyo Japan!
This is Marty. Your methodology helps me over Pacific Ocean. Thanks to this video, now I can master the kick serve technique!
My kick serve amazed my tennis school coach.
Appreciated!

The shoulder drop idea really helps! Thank you for a great tutorial on proper kick technique!

This is a video only can be made by someone who truly understands the motion and the physics behind it. Thanks a lot Simon!

just as your slice serve video is the best, this kick spin serve video is also the best on the internet. The shoulder over shoulder concept to bring the ball down is something that I have never heard of. The feet adjustment is also something that I have never heard about.. I dream about having serves like yours Simon:).

Best video I've ever seen on the kick serve. I've struggled physicalyl with this serve - especially with getting some power into it. Simon's tips on the shoulder mechanics really helps. Tony Costa. Tennis Wales Ambassador.

Brilliant!! Thank you!! Especially foot work subtleties !!

[prashanthm]

Thanks Simon for the lesson.. i saw the video the other day.. and started hitting at 2 o clock and i was serving much better.. came here to thank you and also revise... ☺️

[lucamoretti]

Great video, many thanks. As an adult beginner these videos have been absolutely invaluable. Is there any chance you could analyse Dominic Thiem’s kick serve (out wide from the vantage court). I saw during the French he used it to good effect - often as a first serve. He seems to get so much more lateral movement off the court compared to other players. Would be great to hear your thoughts on his kick serve technique. Many thanks. 🎾🎾

[colinjohnston]

One of the best videos dealing with the topspin serve. Good job, Simon

[vijayseshadri]

Simon, Once again simple, logical explanation with lots of clarity ! Thanks. I am going to try the kick serve and will let you know how successful I was. !!

[sandorpragai]

Congratulation Simon. very good explanations and the demo serves are excellent too. Keep on going!

[clarkaprosperi]

Excellent tips and very professional!! don't think I will ever learn that serve. you are amazing teacher.
i will try tomorrow .... thank you very much.

[theryanteodoro]

Wow. Really great stuff. I really loved your detailed analysis about Federer and how he's able to change up his feet at the last moment. Keep it up!
