I watched the old Vic Braden serve videos and this is what he teaches. I've done it now for several months with a low ball toss and have seen better results. I guess I'm not turning my shoulders before tossing the ball and that's why I'm feeling rushed. I'll have to try this next time I'm out. It should help with my 1st serve percentage. I got this!❤
Yep! I grew up watching Braden videos during my lessons as a kid. Thanks for trying it. Let me know how turning first helps you.
@@2MinuteTennis ok, I tried it today. The turn first seems natural. I gained more power fast, but I was hitting in the net a lot. Felt like I was tossing too close, but then when I threw it in front I became unbalanced through the swing. But when it's on, it's on. I cracked a couple aces today where my opponent didn't even have time to react. Just a matter of hitting more balls at this point. Great advice, though. Thanks!
Another amazing quick tip video that I can recommend to players that struggle with funds to pay for private lesson. Thank you Ryan.
So glad the video will help you Cinco. I've noticed you've been commenting a lot on my videos recently and I just want to say I really appreciate it. Thanks Cinco!
@@2MinuteTennis we recognize exceptional coaching, & your mini-coaching clinics right on the money
Excellent! Thank you 🙏 great teaching Coach
thanks for this video...I'm going to practice on clay court right now ( trying following your tips)!!!!
Excellent advice!!
Will this work equally well from the Ad side or do we need to make any modifications? Will try it out.....
What do you adjust if you were to serve out wide as opposed to T from ad court? Thanks
I love these simple swing thoughts, a compilation on all strokes would make a fantastic video.
Thanks! Is this what you’re lookin for?!?? czcams.com/video/oFCrACCflBk/video.htmlsi=r5Ot_FYmAWRSq-vM
@@2MinuteTennis Some great content in that one, I was thinking of a real time video of you playing whilst all your swing thoughts on each serve/stroke. A difficult one to put together I imagine though... :D
@millertime5181 now I understand. Yeah I’ll have to wait till it’s warmer out and make that type of video. Thanks!!
Thanks very much! But during serve I forget to move shoulder forward.
What to do?
Gonna try to toss also somewhat lower for more consistency! I am 201 cm so it should work.
Great video
Thank you so much!!!!!
Good tips, and I also recommend a lower toss for better consistency. Most people toss too high, then trying to hit the ball when it's accelerating downwards is a real issue. I will quibble with the j-shape motion of the toss. I don't recommend that for most players. Turn and rotate to your back foot but the toss should be almost entirely upward to the trophy position as weight is being transferred forward. The ball should land slightly into the court but doesn't need to be a j-shape. This is too complicated for most players.
You're a morron if you think a ball slowly accelerating downwards (that you tossed yourself) is any more difficult to hit. It's literally easier than hitting a slow feed which any toddler can do without thinking. Tossing higher gives you more time to properly go through your full kinetic chain and thus makes you more consistent and forgiving in all the parts that actually matter. Low toss is a garbage pseudo-intellectual idea that kills the proper full serve technique for more people than it helps.
Does Federer have a low toss?
@drdickenbalz take a look at what I mean by lower ball toss. This seems ideal, where the toss is just above the hitting zone. Much higher (where many recreational players and eveb pros esp. women) leads to inconsistency in the toss and hitting zone. And let's pls not resort to name-calling. www.google.com/search?q=roger+federer+serve+toss&oq=federer+serve+toss&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCAgBEAAYFhgeMgkIABBFGDkYgAQyCAgBEAAYFhgeMg0IAhAAGIYDGIAEGIoFMg0IAxAAGIYDGIAEGIoF0gEINTI4NWowajeoAhSwAgE&client=ms-android-verizon&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:6c2b9a06,vid:eH0ohi2OBys,st:0
@@parkerkitterman7816 Have you been playing tennis for 30 years with 20 grand slams under your belt? My point is that you do not try to copy the end result from a player who has already gotten to the point where he has all the muscle memory and timing in place to afford to lower his ball toss. Copying that lower toss without your proper serve kinetic chain in place is putting the cart in front of the horse, and is as dumb as thinking the way to become rich is to spend money on fancy cars just because you see all the rich people doing it.
Goran Ivanisevic-style serve (hitting the ball on low ball toss while ball moving up). Will work only for professional players. Amateurs have to use high toss in order to have time for concentration and for aiming (hitting the ball while ball moving down). Good luck.:-)))
It only takes a cursory examination of the top 100 ATP players to work out how many actually use a low toss. If very few professionals can successfully pull that off, then your average tennis player has no chance.
How do you measure height? I use time to measure it…
Bryan brothers
hey Coach, thanks for the Vid, but I think that you went over this many time before. ha ha. how about some single tactical strategies? Not just a simple few tactics in 5 min video, but analyzing deeply into various parts in many videos. A tactic by tactic, play by play...etc. That would be really helpful, Coach. thanks always.
Ummmmm I’ve made dozens and dozens of singles strategy videos. Go to my singles strategy playlist and enjoy!
Thanks Ryan, What racket are you using? It looks like an oversize frame? Thanks.
Ezone 100
Why? I have been playing with a Blade 98 for >20 years (NTRP 5.0). I have been contemplating an ezone 98 tour. I like your content and figure that you have justification for the larger head size. Thanks. @@2MinuteTennis
@@ericfinkle5178 ummmmm bc I like it.
I get that. Why do you like it? I presume that you can have any racket that you want. Can you please ariculate why you chose this particular 100?@@2MinuteTennis
Good tips... but you gonna make me hit my forehead with my racket Ryan, thinking I need to salute!🤠
Also my Proton Ball Machine is on the way! Thanks for the advice and the free shipping offer code. You saved me enough money to get a mega pack of new balls from Costco to put in that machine!
Haha hey thanks so much for using my code!! You’re gonna LOVE the proton. Any questions just hit me up!
Everytime i serve i some how swicht to forehand grip idk why
It takes a huge number of repetitions without a ball to just begin to break that grip change.
Performance Plus Tennis CZcams channel has great instruction on learning to serve. I went overboard with his advice on throwing balls up at an angle. I threw thousands of balls before I began to “get it.”
The reason that happens is bc you’re trying to hit too flat/toss isn’t to the right enough/and you’re swinging too much toward your target. Work on hitting a lot of sidespin, Toss to the right, and swing way off to the right. You’re changing the grip bc you’re trying to hit too flat. So focus on a ton of spin and it’ll encourage to keep the continental to stay on edge more thanks!!!
@@2MinuteTennis I love this advice to hit with spin. That’s why you’re a coach and I’m not 🙂. (Also bc I’m a really late starter with only four years of struggle!😄)
IMO there are several better ways to learn to master a reliable toss than the J toss method, and anyone struggling with that aspect should investigate the alternative methods, since it won't work for everyone.
Edit: In general I do agree that most amateurs could benefit from lowering their toss.
I play at the same courts😂
Hey awesome! Maybe I’ll see you there!
2:58 maybe you should
Haha
Net looks a bit high...
Wrong opinion subjectively based only on video perspective
Amazing tips, thanks coach 🫡🫡
So glad to help you Paul!
