    5 Tips For Faster Serves

  • @zenfulsounds8867

    As an ex-National coach for a European Federation, I can say Ryan's explanations and teachings are excellent! Great job!!

    • @JamesDavisakaRemguy
      @JamesDavisakaRemguy Před 3 lety +30

      He's really got a very natural delivery yet a thorough understanding of underlying principles. I thought he was kind of a "beginner's coach" at first because his explanations _sound_ so simple, but upon further inspection/audition, he can go to the deep end of the pool without his water wings. Same easy-going, natural speech delivery. He's quite something!

    I’d like to add a few comments. I’ve been serving for years with social tennis palms up swing. The first time I tried this I tried to follow all the tips but without the party hat. I found that almost every time there was something wrong with my arm position, just couldn’t get it in the position shown by Ryan. Old habits are hard to kick. Then I dry practiced it at home but with the party hat on. Bingo! I noticed that in order to knock the party hat off your arm and elbow HAS to come into the correct position. Then I tried again in a new session on the court with the hat on and double bingo! It works! The hat gives you the focus point of the whole procedure and virtually corrects everything all at once. Thanks Ryan! The only thing now is to have to try to wean myself away from the hat!

    • @2MinuteTennis
      @2MinuteTennis  Před 3 lety +9

      Amazing! Thank you Paul for trying the hat. It really does fix the palm up service motion. Thanks for letting me know you tried it and that it helped you!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

    This is brilliant teaching. I've played tennis all my life and had some good coaching. I'm now 78 years old. Because of Ryan, my serve is improving. Before Ryan, my best serves were in the high 60s (see what you have to look forward to?), measured with a radar gun. I know what high 70s looks like and I'm now doing it, after Ryan. And I'm getting a higher percentage of un-returnable serves in my doubles matches with mostly younger opponents. So I'm better than half as fast as Kyrgios, otherwise known as half-fast (couldn't resist). Now if I can learn to hit a proper forehand volley (backhand? No problem.), I'll be a much better doubles player.

    Just working on the elbow position alone helped me tremendously today on day one of practicing serves. If you are moderately athletic this step alone puts your racquet in position for more consistent winners and a more natural, athletic, Brady like delivery. After returning and watching the video again I noticed that I had been serving with my elbow back but was in the vertical forearm position. This is one to watch again and again and work on each important step. Can’t wait for day two of focusing on palm down as well. Thanks for clear concise serve mechanics fundamentals.

    Great tips. I always heard elbow up but never saw it this detailed. I am going to try some of these tomorrow. Two more serving tips that helped me are: keep the tossing hand up almost pointing at the ball after the toss, and to really focus your eyes on the ball as you hit it.

  • @snatchbloock
    @snatchbloock Před 3 lety +2

    Hi
    Excellent video. I'm a 4.0/4.5 level player and incorporate all of your tips except one...the unit turn on my service motion. That is a great tip I will add to my serve immediately. I also use the horizontal elbow/hand position as well. It works just as you explained but I was taught it using a slightly different technique. A tennis pro I once worked with told me to keep the back of my racquet hand pointing skyward during the toss which accomplishes the same arm position and it works just as you point out. The great thing about tennis is you are never too old to learn and improve your game. I'm 76 years old and you just made my decent serve a little stronger.

  • @philipjacques9632
    @philipjacques9632 Před 2 lety +3

    I absolutely love this video. These 5 points for me are all that is required to produce that perfect (and powerful) serve.
    A real breakthrough concept for me was using (or simply visualizing) the "birthday hat" on my head. In order to get power (as has been stressed to me by various coaches) you must cock the wrist and then generate that wrist snap as part of the forward motion towards contact. But unless the arm is in the correct position/orientation, you will not get the desired result.
    The birthday hat visualization is such an easy way for the brain to understand this.
    If you swing in a way that knocks off the hat, the arm, hand and wrist working together will create the mechanics that will generate the perfect service motion. It works!!
    Thank-you Ryan

      @@2MinuteTennis also think I have not been doing the arm coiling thing correctly at the end either. I always thought I had to keep the upper body turning through impact. makes me wonder how much more potential I have in my serve. :). I see your motion was quick and continuous like kygrios hitting the ball almost as it's still rising. I have struggled with that and always seem to do better with a slower motion, higher toss... thoughts?

    Hey Ryan,
    your videos with the birthday hat, made my serve at least 50% more continuous also much more faster and better placed !!! Thanks for your super detailed and funny natural presentation! Keep it up, Ryan ;-)
