You'll learn proper serve stance, how to find a continental grip, how to learn the pronation through two swing paths, how to coordinate both arms so that the tennis serve toss and the backswing work in harmony, how to generate the most power through the racquet lag and what's the key to a proper follow-through on the serve.

Toughest stroke in tennis, imo.......hard to develop muscle memory. Can practice all day and get in a groove, but lose the feel during matches. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together.
+Rick Martin I have a hard time with my serve as well. But in fact, I believe a serve could come easily. You know exactly where the ball will be and you have already positioned yourself to hit it. We overthink the serve and try to hard mentally and physically to master it. I think if you would tell a child to toss the ball up and hit it, it would soon make the right motion without getting further instructions.
+Marco Grieco I beg to differ. I have seen quite a few kids starting to try serves. Non of them can figure out continental grip pronation by themselves. Not even the smartest or the most athletic kid. The motion is just not intuitive.
I think you are right. After still working on my serve, often with the help of Feel Tennis' clips, I realized that the motion ist not intuitive.
Thanks for giving valuable techniques....
It's a lot like pitching in baseball. I think if you understand the arm pronation involved it helps a lot.
This is a selfless, non showy, well presented, well constructed, well articulated, first class lesson. Have not seen one like it and I have looked at quite a lot. I have been trying to copy Djokvic. Lots of double faults- discouraged. Other videos are too wordy or not comprehensive as this one is. AM
In a word, it is Polish. (I might be wrong, but I think he is Polish).
Wow you made me watch it
20:09 the edges exercise is 👌🏻 !
I agree with you. I am going to the link . Best video I have seen about the serve
This is truly one of the best instruction videos for tennis I have ever seen!
Thank you for this fantastic breakdown of the serve mechanics.
Matthew Wilson i agree with you
Even I agree with u
i agree with you fuckboy
I've never really had a guaranteed second serve. I am self tought through just playing and the serve has always been my achilles heal. I stopped playing 10 years ago and only recently started playing again and noticed that I felt really uncomfortable in my serve motion which would explain why the toss and direction was so erratic and why my shoulder hurts the day after. Your video has helped me understand what I'm doing wrong. Ty.
His serve is shit
You have taken a very complex action sequence and broken it down into logical sub-actions. You are the first person to properly explain arm pronation to me. You have provided great modelling. This is some of the best teaching practice I have seen on CZcams. Well done and thank you so much - I can't wait to improve my serve!
Same
Exactly, arm extension and probation are extremely important for generating topspin and power
Can he teach a golf swing too please?
I absolutely agree! Simply amazing ⭐️💯😃
What an INCREDIBLE coach. I am taking tennis lessons right now and my current coach can only point and say "SNAP THE WRIST, YOU GOTTA SNAP THE WRIST". Meanwhile, you break down the serve into repeatable, simple steps, and explain why we do them. THANK YOU!
Happy to help!
I used to play tennis EVERY DAY from ages 14-20, I got pretty good, but then school/work/life got in the way and I completely quit playing. At almost 28, I finally picked my racket back up (and yes, the same racket and strings from 8 years ago), started watching your videos, and practicing every day. Within 2 weeks of very intentional drills, mentally going through all your videos, and having an open mind, I already feel like I'm better than I was 8 years ago. Your videos are truly phenomenal, you're an amazing teacher!
Oh hi
This is by far the best serve tutorial available on CZcams! I started playing tennis about a month ago, and even with a coach teaching me, I was really struggling with the serve. After I watched this, honestly my serve improved like 80%. Thanks Tomas!
Great explanation, it's all clear. I hope this also works for an absolute beginner.

Awesome Video. I'm a beginning player at age 60 and I found your instruction easy to follow and visualize for practice. I'll be using these techniques right away.
I had a problem with my shoulder a couple months ago but when I watched this, tried the step 3, corrected my motion and contact to the ball, it didn't hurt anymore. Thanks a lot
This video is solid gold. After three months of working on my serve, this is the only video I have found that breaks everything down into understandable parts. I saw an immediate improvement to my serve.
I don't even play tennis smh, I need to take my ass to bed🤦🏽♂️
😂😂😂
same
Rather out if bed 🙂😉😂
why don't you try it
HA.
Lmao well I’m up here at 1am..which I shouldn’t bc I actually have tennis practice tmr, but my ass sucks at serving so I need to watch this 😂
Absolutely the best serve video and believe me I have analysed lots. Thomaz has a great way of explaining the mechanics of the serve. It seems that I have made all the common mistakes but now know how to correct them. Thank you Thomaz!
One of the best videos giving clear instructions to serve. Camera angles are great, slow motions at appropriate places are perfect, the pace of instructions is just fine.
This is the best video on tennis serving that I've ever seen on youtube. Very thoughtful and very well explained.
Thank you so much, this was really helpful and explained in a very detailed and clear way
Best video ever. I developed the fastest racket head speed just after watching your video. Thanks!
Tomaz:
Finally a complete and comprehensive walk-throgh of needed steps to get the serve right!!! What an inspiration and help to take to the tennis court and practice. And finally after 20 years of playing tennis, i have now improved my serve considerably after implementing the 7 step in only 7 sessions. Thank you Tomaz....
This video gave me the breakthrough I needed to begin using an advanced serve. I am 3.0 player that struggled with serve toss and consistently getting my serve in play (a good day was 30% of serves). Prior to watching this video I was practicing my serve daily but was seeing very little improvement. After two 100 ball sessions practicing your "bounce" to pronate drill, my contact consistency and serve accuracy substantially improved. I was so exhilarated with the improvement gained in a short period of time! I am very motivated to trust your training recommendations to continue progressing. Thank you so much for your help!
This is the best serve instruction video that explains the pronation clearly and correctly.
I have played tennis for 40 years, but never got proper instruction for the serve. Your tutorial is fantastic... covering every aspect of the serve. Anyone player can see their weakness(es) and what they should focus on with your insightful instruction. And I learned some new vocabulary, too! Thank you!
Before this tutorial my serve was bad to medium, following your instructions and lots of practice it became medium to good. Amazing tutorial, some people just have a way to deliver the knowledge that is just oerfect, you are one of them thanks
The best serve instruction I've ever seen, I already know how to serve but this one tells me lots of details on how and why. Thanks so much.
I have played tennis for years and my biggest pain is the serve skill, this is the best serve course, explained very clear instructions each step, it works. Thank you so much, Great Master !!

First of all, I wanted to say that this is by far the best tennis online training series available, very deep, articulate and mind opening. I’ve improved my game dramatically, not by following some gimmick drills that many other channels present, but by gaining understanding of body mechanics and also mental aspect of the techniques. This video is also very great. I struggle with the serve, no matter what I do I end up opening the racquet too early in a classic “waiter’s serve” form. When I film myself, even when I’m convinced I did everything right this time, when I then watch the video of myself in slow motion I can’t believe I somehow manage to again do the waiter’s tray serve. It feels as if someone was pranking me by swapping the video :) It is interesting to see that in this video you actually also open the racquet very early and point its face to the sky. It’s at 4:32 in slow motion example of the serve pronation. I understand that this is not a complete serve and just a movement of the arm so that could be the reason, but it’s clear the waiter’s tray form creeped in there too. Can you please comment on that?
Great video, i play tennis since i am 7 year old (now 22), but i never found the ''correct'' technique to have smooth and fluid serve, thanks to you now i serve faster, more regular and more precisely than i ever did.
Thanks a lot Thomas.
You’ve been playing for 15 years and still don’t know how to serve? Give up
@@tonkihonks3430 Bruh.
@@kyotton8398 LMAO
Keep working at it man! Congrats!
@@tonkihonks3430 wrong teachers. We mostly underestimate the chance of it. I see bad teachers in my field far more than 15 years and ‘no progress’ students
One of the best instruction videos to improve serves...thank you!
Thomas is the best I've seen for tennis instruction. Has wonderful communication skills.
Really gotta record myself, cause I need to see what the hell i'm doing :( lol
Wasameng he said that right when i read this comment lol
@@riyad3320 ahaha
Incredible video! This is an absolutely incredibly explained breakdown of the serve as I've never seen it before. You are a great coach. Thank you very much! I am now a follower for life!
I watch this vid exactly 1 year ago when I couldn’t serve at all. I now have the best serve for my age group in my club and it’s coz of this vid. 🙏🙏
I dont care how old this video is. If someone really focuses on following the steps and create true muscle memory here, you will be on your way...excellent..thanks Tomaz' for caring and teaching..
Best serve tutorial I ever saw !!!! Thank you so much for this EXCELLENT video lesson !!
Thomas, thank you so much for all of your lessons. I have improved so much!!
You're welcome and thanks for the feedback!
Really Great job with a high quality.
I want to know after the pronation if is there a flexion of the hand on the forearm just after the impact with the ball ?
Hi, we don't hit the serve with the flexion of the wrist as that would lose the stability of the stroke. The flexion you may see sometimes after the contact is because the player starts to relax since the ball is gone and the work has been done so there's no more need to maintain any tension.
Feel Tennis Instruction , Thomas, I am new to your group. I love this video and have subscribed. One question: wehn we are practicing all this should I go very slow on the serve and the build up my speed with time. Or should I start practicing with my normal speed.
This was the cleanest and most straight forward tennis tutorial video I have watched so far.
Thankyou!
Your "imagine 2 swing path" ideas have helped me to finally able to start doing advance serve! I have been watching a lot of books and videos and you are definitely the best tennis coach on youtube! Thanks Tomaz!!
Best serve lesson online I've seen so far. Thank you! :)
I haven't even gotten back onto the court after watching this video and I know that my serve has already improved. It was THAT good. Thank you Tomas!
The raquet drop! Never had any idea how big that is! Out of all the instruction I had on the serve no one has ever come close to you, can't wait to try this. Thank you so much for making all parts of the service motion so easy too understand!
Very much appreciated!
By far the most clear, consise and technically sound demonstration of the forgotten but essential teaching concept of progression. Thanks Tomaz. Cam
Excellent description & breakdown of balanced efficient mechanics utilized in executing a serve. This has been extremely helpful. I saw this at first quite some time ago & at that juncture I could not fully understand the details. But now after some time of thoughtfully working on my technique, I can now comprehend your wonderful description & take advantage of this opportunity to improve my technique. thank you very much
Best Tennis instructional video I've ever seen!
I absolutely loved every part of this tennis lecture. I did not skip through. Thank you!
The best coach on CZcams. I’ve rewatched many of his videos and always pick up something new that I missed
Wonderful video. very clear step by step explanation with nice audio. Cheers
Very clear instructions, one of the best serve videos I have watched, thank you.
Watched this whole video after being really discouraged with my serve. Went to my back patio to just try out the motion while watching my reflection in a window. I had team practice the following day and my serve improved DRASTICALLY overnight. It was like magic. Thank you so much!
Thank you very much for the feedback!
I love the consistency between all his serve videos. Excellent logical explanations backed up by actionable instruction, can't get any better from a video!
Probably the best serve video I have seen yet.
You've done it again. Don't know how I missed this coming out, but at least I found it now. I personally try to break down strokes into a progression, but the serve I couldn't figure out. You did figure it out. This is very helpful and has illuminated serveral fundamental problems I have. Thanks.
one of the best online tennis coach. this is the best serve lesson on line. thank you
I started learning serve today and has to say this is one of the best step by step video to learn serve. I improved my technique just by following steps here. Thanks for uploading.
Aditya Sharma Heh. A five gallon pail. Filled with tennis balls . Review this vid. Go to quiet community court . Stretch and serve for one hour Later research and develop. Slice , top , and flat serve . Place targets . Every day . By the end of summer your a tough out . Tennis anyone ?
This is a great video. I am going to try and implement these techniques in refining my serve
I really think this is the best video I have ever seen about the learning serve tecnique. Thank you very much.
My BFF asked if she wanted me to play tennis with her a few minutes ago so she told me all the information and I'm gonna sign up.
Best instructional video about serve on CZcams. I used this video to teach my daughter (10) serve when she was transitioning from the 'waiter' serve to the 'hammer' grip. The results were instant. Now my 10 year old daughter has now reached 115 kmh (about 71 mph) from about 80 in 8 weeks or so. It's amazing. I must also mention that she is also using the serve master, nice tool. Thanks Tomaz, thanks FEEL TENNIS INSTRUCTIONS.
This is a great video. A consistent, good serve is so unbelievably hard to develop.
Your teachings are amazing. I have imperceptible my techniques so much with them. And I feel like I am also less exposed to injuries by doing things properly. Thank very very much from Guatemala for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Absolutely the best serve video on the net. Thank you so much!! So helpful.
This is the most incredible tennis serve tutorial I have ever seen. Props to you, thank you so much for this video! You are awesome.
This is the best serve techinique that I've ever seen on CZcams! Congrats! You did a very good job! :)
Unfourtunately, my tenis serve is really bad, but, I will try to improve with your 7 steps! Thank you!
Very well presented lesson. You have broken the whole thing down into easy pieces. Especially the last few tips were really helpful. Thank you very much! Will thank you every time I am doing a serve.
Best instructional video ever. Great understanding of what learners need. Practical, sensible, and do-able.
One of the best, most detailed tennis tutorial videos I have ever seen. Thank you!
This is a great video! Thank you for the thorough explanation of this technique and for being patient. I especially enjoyed the slow motion bits. Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you Thomas, I found your lesson very helpful
Thorough, meticulously constructed and thoughtfully demonstrated Tomaz. Thank you. Gordon
Brilliant instruction and video. Truly one of the best ever. Very easy to understand with examples, demonstration, slow motion, repetition, and what to avoid comments. Thank you so much!
Thank you!! I am going to try this. Best serve instruction that I have seen.
Amazing instruction. Helped me figure out what was causing my inconsistency, thank you
What a brilliant teacher you are. Thank you....
This video has helped me very much. It is the clearest most concise description of the proper technique that i have seen. Thanks very much for the help!
Thank you! This video was very thoughtfully done.
I have to say I've watched dozens and dozens of serving tutorials on youtube and this is by far the best video of all. The way he explains every step and the reason behind each of them makes it so much simple to understand.
Glad it was helpful!
Your serve video has taught me to change completely my serve. I am having much better results. Thank you.
The best serve instruction ever!!!
OMG THIS IS THE BEST SERVE TUTORIAL EVER THANKS SOOO MUCH!
chutia ha tu
Never saw a better analysis of the breakdown of the serve. Thank you
Best serving lessons I have seen on CZcams. Watched a few times and it definitely improves my serving techniques. Thanks for sharing the video!
This guy is an amazing teacher.
Just started watching. I love all your tips. I like the 2 angle visual. I have been not been using this and will not start. Also as every serve tip advises; pronate. I like the tip pronate in the straight angle. I'm a 3.5 player and one thing I seen as I move up is a lot of guys with average serves at 3.5(often myself). It really makes for some long drawn out points and makes it where you really have to work to win a match. I was at 3.0 for a while and luckily my serve got to a point(at that level)where I could really overtake guys at end up winning most of my service games. Huge advantage.
Perhaps one of the best serving lessons ever!
This is by far the best tennis channel available online. Thank you.
Excellent coaching. Enthusiastic thumbs up. I will be watching your other videos as well.
I really needed this my playoffs are tomorrow and my serves are good but I knew I was doing something wrong because my wrist kept hurting afterwards and I have a habit of double faulting a lot I know this video is 4 years old and no one is probably gonna see this but thank you so much 🙇♀️
Yeah the video is really helpful
Thank you, my favorite coach, you are the best !
Incredible video ! Thanks for breaking the serve down, you make it look so easy ! Thank-you so much !
awww hope i can get to doing this that curve in the air looks so awesome makes me hyped
The best serve tutorial I've ever watched. Easy and simple. 90% of my serves go in after practicing this. Before trying the "fancy" stuff everybody should go through this. Thank you Tomaz!!!
The most difficult part of tennis game has been explained so beautifully.Thank you very much coach
Excellent!! My serve got really much better after watching your video. Thanks!
Thank You!!
Nice explanation. Congrats!
I have been playing forever I find your instruction superb. I almost can't wait to try some of these tips!
Absolutely the best serve instruction I have seen on the Internet and I have seen literally hundreds!!!
Hi this is a great video I recommend everyone to watch this it has really helped with my serve which I thought was good before it's now got even better.
What I think would be really helpful is if we were able to download a summary sheet we could take to the court with us as there is quite a lot of information. Just a thought! :)
My ball never goes to that area it's supposed to go. I always lose point whenever I serve :(
Kazzzzzo Thank you:D
Me too
fei1226 Put 20 or thirty balls in a bucket , go to empty court serve over and over again Try to put spin on the ball. Read books and watch u tube lessons. But go to court.
One of the best tennis training videos. Thank you.
Thank you for the (in)valuable wisdom. I love your channel, and you. You make tennis available to anybody. I used to go to the court very confident that I could get better just by practicing. It’s very humbling to let another person just teach you. Even when I have thought of that person as knowing little, sometimes that person turns out to know a lot more. Different topic. I just like it when I watch one of your videos and then I go back to the court knowing something new, and practicing it. I will carry your teachings with me and my dream is to one day help others. God bless Thomas! Merci beaucoup!
