The serve surgeon! I love it. I learned everything I know from your serve series. Well worth the money. Even my 18 year old who plays high school tennis and throws compliments around like manhole covers, says, "If you're serving bigger in L.A. at your age, your name is Peter Sampras."
Great video. The curve on the back. Excellent. That explain everything. That explain me why the toss of the ball too. If you do not do that curve in yhe back you will find the ball earlier and the serve will be unefficient.
Hey Jeff I love the tip of leading with the elbow. I think your student isn’t getting shoulder turn because he is not “cutting the toes” for his take back. You are on the other hand. Tell him to cut his toes! That really helped me with the take back. Cheers!
Thanks for watching Julian! Appreciate the feedback and advice .
Jeff,Excellent video, it appears to me that the major difference between your serve and your student's is torso momentum. You lean your torso back and bring it forward rapidly which propels the arm and racket into the ball. Your arm and shoulder are relaxed and the stomach muscles do the real work. It is almost like delivering a vicious head butt. Your serve is typical among world class players, Federer, Sampras, etc. This method prevents shoulder injuries because the stomach muscles do most of the work. When a player's arm and shoulder are totally relaxed the racket drop is more pronounced as yours is. Please keep up the great work, your serve is a great inspiration. Sincerely, Norman Ashbrooke
Brilliant stuff. More videos like this please 👍
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback. What other type of videos you'd like to see from me in the near future?

Nice video. Thanks, Jeff. Do yo have anything on the racquet drop on the forehand?
Excellent Jeff, great explanation and instruction here. The first move almost decides the serve. Many thanks, Gordon.
ripleygordon it sure does. Most don’t practice this
Tennis Evolution sorry， first move refers to what？it means shoulder turn and hip turn？
rui liu the first 6 inches of the motion. Shoulder and hip turn
The true Serve Surgeon talking !! Many thanks!
Krishna Raju you are welcome! I appreciate it
Nice video. Probably should have the kid serve to the ad court like you are for a better comparison. One might think the kid's smaller shoulder turn could be due to the fact he's serving to the deuce side.
Hi Jeff, this is a great video. At 4:18 appears your wrist opens ("flips down" / wrist extension), is that necessary with the serve with racquet drop? It appears slightly waiter's tray? Would be great if you posted a little description on the wrist flip down. I have mixed in the first move, racquet drop, but find I don't get the right momentum when going up (little locked up). Also, it would be nice to see a video of too much turn on the serve. Thank you, Dave
David Ra I’ll see what I can do
I really like the tip of improving thoracic (upper back) flexibility rather than lower back, to improve drop. Never heard that before.
Raul TW one of the missing links of the serve. You are smart to pick that up...
Thank you for this. Very helpful. You should offer online video analysis as a service, if you don't already.
Hi Jeff, question: Do you consciously rotate/drop your left shoulder after your reach the trophy position, to lead the right elbow and the rest of the body ? If not, when you reach the trophy position, which part of the body should be the first one to move ? leg ? left shoulder(the one without the racquet) or right shoulder(the one holding the racquet)
As always, thank you so much for the great video to share your knowledge !
Supernovasia great questions. Everyone is a little different

Hey jeff, I feel that in shadow swings i execute the racket drop very well, but on a real serve, my racket drop suffers. Any suggestions?
I know how you feel. My form looks great... if I don't have to hit the ball.
Really liked the video. Was shocked how well you served right handed until I saw you just flipped the video. I like when you do that because I'm a tight handed player. Thanks
flyerjuls nice !
How do you consciously lead with the elbow? Thanks
From what see Jeff, your wrist is also much more relaxed than his, allowing for more whipping. Having the wrist relaxed and leaving the racquet drop with its own weight makes the "leading with elbow" thing easier I think.
Thibaut Rvl relaxation is huge.
I have a poor racquet drop. Some have suggested that I severely stagger the hitting arm. So when the toss is released, the arm is still down at your side, with racquet tip pointed to the ground. See Serena and Sampras. I have found that this results in a better "throwing' motion and a little better drop vs the halfway stagger of Federer. Has full stagger also helped your students achieve better drop?
Raul TW I don’t focus Just on this stagger
How does racquet drop happens?is it natural .. leg drive will make you racquet drop?thank you sir
I've been working on getting into a good trophy position and I've made real progress, but one of the issues I'm still dealing with is a slight elbow drop and slight elbow movement forward just before I start dropping the racquet to swing up into the ball. I'm looking for a mental image on how to correct that movement. Should I be thinking about thrusting my elbow up from the trophy position?
I have exactly the same problem no matter how I hard I tried to avoid it & I suspect it’s due to muscle tightness at chest or sub-optimal shoulder external rotation range.
Thanks😊
You're welcome. Thank you for watching Abdullah. What other types of lessons you'd like to see from me in the near future?
Jeff.
Can you do more videos for leftys?
Alejandro Acevedo yes sir
I enjoyed your vid
Nizamuddin A Thank you! Please share the video with others
Very interesting comparison. I just wish you had shown the complete serve of your student.
John Wilkinson maybe next time I can do it!
also cool to recognize that our students are not always doing what we want to see from them.
C Tomlin very true
Another difference is the Angle at elbow joint before drop. Yours is less than 90. His is about 100
I am going out in the morning & start practicing LEADING WITH MY ELBOW, Thx
J L Kent nice! Let us know how it goes
Trophy with knee bend
Now knee bend thing is tricky ... wrt toss
Check out the lesson below. I think it can help you work on both trophy pose and knee bend.
czcams.com/video/6fXuh--XQqU/video.html
my only issue with the compared videos is they are serving from different sides
Will Jerkins the racquet drop has nothing to do with the side served from
Tennis Evolution I agree
I don't disagree with what you say but I just wonder whether this is unrealistic. Very few amateur players have a very low racquet drop because they simply don't have the same strength, flexibility or conditioning as someone who trains everyday, particularly an ex-ATP player! Look at a slow motion video of Tim Smyczek serving for example. His ranges of movement are insane - even more extreme than yours...that is not something that can be easily replicated by amateurs.
Gavin S you can develop your body to do this over time .
Tennis Evolution - Online Tennis Lessons Yes I agree, amateurs may not have the flexibility to drop low to around the butt like pros do but amateurs can certainly improve their drop from mid-back to lower back like the student in this video. Baby steps!
Tennis serving technique was useful.
Just watching a video of myself is enough to know I’m not doing anything right but I still try haha.
That's a great place to start; becoming aware of the mistakes. Then you can start to work on the solutions. What kind of issues are you having with your serve?
@@TennisEvolution definite hitch in my throw.. lack of turn and rotation in my toss... grip is fine.. just always had a hitch. Ground strokes and volleys are great... serve motion/throwing motion has always been off.
@@lawrencerud8695 This lesson can help you with your toss

For a better shoulder turn, I recommend using a platform stance.

I don't see why you don't at least play some Challenger matches with that nasty serve.
Reuel Ray I need a lot more than what I have now to play challengers
OH Hell yes. Some jeff Salzenstein on my your tube. I haven't been this excited since Rafa crushed the US OPEN and Federer dumped it to avoid Rafa eating his heart.
Robert Mitchell boom!
What are you saying?????!!!!!! They played after that in Shanghai and Federer beat Nadal.
Shanghai? Who cares about Shanghai? Nobody is gonna remember Shanghai. Another panicked Fedhed whose Nadal dominating the year and Federer.
2:59 Why do all serve analysis videos on youtube compare a deuce side serve to an ad side serve, claiming that the deuce side serve has such bad shoulder turn. But, you serve towards the other side, so you are naturally turned more into the court, it's not a good comparison sigh...
jandroid33 not necessarily. You can still have the same shoulder turn
I think it’s actually both deuce side if you look at other videos this guy is a lefty and I think he reflected the video in order to make it easier to compare if you look at the background and shadows it seems to come off that way
You still need to fix your foot fault =D
Aleksander Ortynski for sure !
