As you know a tennis serve is the most complex stroke in tennis and there is tons of analysis done on it.
In fact you can get overwhelmed by information and lose the essentials of the serve.
So today I want to bring your attention to one of the essentials of the serve (which applies to any other stroke) and that is the body position at contact point.
I've already pointed the importance of body position at contact in my last article about a two-handed backhand so today we'll address the serve.
In this week's article you'll learn 4 key checkpoints of the body alignment at contact that need to be correct if you want to hit your serves with efficient power.
Our model will be Roger Federer and I'll point out these 4 key checkpoints on his serve.
I'll also show you the most common mistakes players make and how to work on those. - Sport
This makes it so much easier to understand. Been lost in the CZcams rabbit hole for a while - finally a serve video that explains contact simply and effectively!

Tomaz, I don't know how you do it but you always seem to post instructional videos on the exact subject I need.
I appreciate you very much. Thank you!
He is watching you! ;)
It takes a master to unpack a concepts so well. It takes a master unpacker to unpack the data into the perfect chunks for direct download to my brain. All of your videos are amazing and have had a positive effect on my game. You are the tennis wizard whispering the perfect words to help the knight slay the mighty tennis dragon. 🐲🐉 Keep em coming!
As a 5.5 player I've watched a 100 videos on serving but none made as much sense as this Pro!
This is without doubt one of the most useful videos I have ever seen on overhead technique, touching on numerous key points that I've not seen mentioned anywhere else. The time and frustration I could have saved if I'd seen this five years ago!
Best explanation of the serve! Everyone talks about the ball toss, the pronation, the waiter’s tray position, etc... even though those are important as well, but the contact point as explained in this video is vital.
This instruction solved my inconsistency issue immediately. This is by far the most valuable video I found in the youtube for 4+ years of seeking the key for my serve. Thank you so much! This advice and your teaching method should be widely spread!
Stunningly brilliant and on-target, as always. Tomaz, you are flat-out hilarious (and mercilessly correct) from 9:29 to 9:45. The best coaching I've ever encountered, bar no one.
The coach I found this summer said - You don't have to look where you're serving. You know where the court is. And I couldn't understand where to aim. He kept saying -- You'll just get a feel for it eventually. Now hearing you say it made the hair on my neck stand up. It's true. As I my serve improves, I'm just getting a feel for where to aim. I love this!! Thank you for validating.
Awesome insights on the serve. You are absolutely right about the benefits of being aware about the right positioning at contact. Instinctively by being conscious about this I have gained confidence in my serve. Tomaz you are by far the best coach i have ever come across. Thank you for all your great teaching.
This video is exactly what I needed, thank you. It helps me so much to know that I was doing it wrong. I knew my power was not correct in that position but the angle just didn’t make sense. But now it makes sense. Well done. So many great points in this video. It’s all beginning to make sense. I am actually using this technique for a padel smash instead of a tennis serve but it is all the same concept . I have already gained so much power and confidence in just the past hour since I watched this video
Just phenomenal insights on serves, never get from any other coaches. Tomaz is the man!
*Mind blown. Immediately adds to favorites.*
My friends(who are also my main opponents) have all commented in the last few weeks that my serve has noticeably improved. I play at a 4.0-4.5 level and always had a good, reliable serve, so I'm even more pleased that watching Tomaz has eeked out noticeable improvements. Great videos all around.
Hi Thomasz,
You just hit the nail on the head. For years I have been struggling with my service, until I discovered your instruction videos. Thanks to your videos I have made quite a progression the last six months, but in the last few weeks I made no progression anymore, wondering for what reasons. Today, on your newest instruction video I see why! Thank you so much for your videos, they (and you) are the best!
Hi Thomaz,
My serve started real improvement since I received your tip about body alignment in serve a few months ago. I became the strongest and most exact server among our club members now. Thank you...
Wow. Thank you Tomas. I’ve been tinkering with different stances 🤾♀️, leg drive timing and all the other fundamentals on the serve for a few years now trying to recreate the power of a pro with limited success. The contact point tip regarding saving a bit of the arm for pronation and angle of racquet at contact point is pure Gold. Went out on the court and practiced from service box moving back gradually to the baseline and have never hit such bombs before with good clearance over the net. Something I never had before on my serve... 👌👌👌👌
I have seen hundreds of videos regarding serve - this is by far the best! simple, easy to understand and adopt. What I absolutely loved (my biggest problem) - forget about the court, serve blindly! Thanks a lot!!!
Much appreciated!
Than you very much for this video : keys to correct seve contact, ofcourse I understood the keys to correct serve contact after watching several times ( may be around 9 times )
Thank you once again sir
This is a brilliant video. I followed your course "Serve Unlocked", and I really did see a transformation with my serve. In particular, I discovered that I was able to very quickly increase my serve speeds, by "unlocking" power that was always there. For me, this lesson has really helped build on that. Before, many of the technical aspects of my serve were more or less correct, but my wrist still wasn't at the right angle, and so I still wasn't generating as much power I could have been. Now, with this lesson, I'm starting to see some further significant improvements. Thanks so much!
I have been making ALL 4 of these mistakes !
Shooting videos of my serve progression and watching them in slow motion has greatly helped in improving the basic concepts. Thank you for the amazing tips !
Now that you are showing more angles to show contact this is the best service video I've ever seen. So many coaches assume you're imagining the ball in the right position for contact. I love your approach to this. You understand how our visualization can be incorrect.
Thank you for alerting me to just how imagination and visualisation is such a helpful ability we have
fantastic, keep looking up at the ball during contact and not at the target makes a huge difference, it works!
7:00 Tossing arm to the belly. If I am not mistaken it is called a reactive break. This arm stops the body rotation/uncoiling which releases the body twist energy into the arm through the shoulder. Meaning, that it is not a passive move, it is kind like a slightly jerking/abrupt motion to make it actually the reactive break. It's hard to explain. But it's like a karate guy charges his blow by abruptly bringing his arm to the body (when the elbow point back).
Why did none of my coaches ever tell me this? I followed your instruction, and my serve changed immediately. It feels so much more stable at contact. I was doing before exactly what you showed in the video on the incorrect side my whole life because thats how I thought you hit a serve. lol. Thank you so much!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! That angle on the wrist helped me with my consistency so much. Also, finally serve doesn't hurt my shoulder anymore!
sooo damn true 2 weeks ago i started positioning myself intuitively just like you described and my serve doubled in speed and quality ....had no idea why!!! really essential info...now i will focus on exactly repeating this what works and i had no idea why
I’m a visual learner, and your demonstration along with How you explain details makes me understand concepts so much more. Great videos!
Excellent lesson on how to serve. One of the best i have watched. :)
Great instruction Tomaz! You explain things that other teaching pros don't, or don't know! Keep up the good work! Jose from California.
this is probably the second time that I watched this video and now I have much better understanding of what he is saying. This makes perfect sense!!
Tomaz I seriously need a video lesson or two about pressure handling during matches. That's because you are the best coach on youtube and I think you can help me with that. Hope will consider my request and fulfill my wish soon.
sorry wrong person and channel
Thank you just made me aware of my mistake, I can now see it on my serve video. Plus it is a probable cause of my shoulder pain. I put too much stress on the shoulder Hitting with maximum extension. Great video
Perhaps the most enlightening instructional video I have ever watched, and I've watched a LOT!
This is one of best videos I have seen for fixing the serve technique. Very good and appreciate
Excellent instructions and drills! Best ever video training I have ever seen! Thank you Sir!
best online coaching ever. your logical break down like a bridge where a tennis beginner travel via a wider and correct way to the real tennis world. and generous sharing solid knowledge...
Great explanations, thank you!
Love the way you explain. Thanks
Extraordinary explanation on serve tips!
Excellent tips and presentation, Coach !👏🏼
Tomas, your thoughts and explanations are top class. Well done!
Absolutely great video! Motivating every step by biomechanics really helps to understand why to do it that way and not in any other. Thank you Tomaz!
keep helping beginners please your video's are amazing
I should be paying you a lot of money! Your advice is golden!!
This guy is the best instructor on YT
Who else is watching this and asking why am I just learning this after many years of playing tennis?
You explain so well and I like the honesty and humbleness
Thanks for all your work and contributions, sharing and insights. Neighborly greetings from Austria.
Great advice Tomaz!... makes a ton of sense :) Looking forward to many more videos. Hopefully one soon on serve+volley!!
yes! just started redelving deeply and with detail into this game. This guy is a G-d send if your looking for the right foundation.. Excellent comprehensive video
Pozdrav sused. Iz hrvaske. Zadnjih tjedana se bavim snimanjem tutorijala za cijepanje drva pa sam uocio neke slicnosti sa tenisom pa sam krenuo traziti potvrdu za to na yt. Prvi video otvorim i hop...odmah bingo... Majstor si, svaka cast. Kad budem montirao svoj video, uz tvoje dopustenje bih ubacio i neke dijelove iz tvog klipa. Pozdrav iz zagreba.
Svakako, susjed!
@@feeltennis Hvala na odgovoru. Ja bas nisam vican radu s kompjuterima pa ce mi uzeti vremena dok izmontiram to sve. Javit cu ti kad bude gotovo da pogledas u kojem kontekstu cu upotrijebiti tvoj kungfu. A bit ce tu i bruce lee-a. Imam jebeno dobru viziju za pricu koju zelim ispricati samo da se to sve poslozi. Hvala i pozdrav.
You nailed it Sir! Thank you ! It improved my flat serve. Please watch this video carefully and you will enjoy your game for sure.
Man, you are the best. Much obliged. You don't have any idea how much you have helped me :)

YOU ARE A LEGEND IN TENNIS COACHING, KEEP ON SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE, LOVE YOU MUCH BRO,,,,STAY SAFE,,,,
Should say this vid is very good explained the little moments but so much important moments !!!! Thanks
Better feel of the leverage you get from your joints when the wrist, arm, body and head are at an angle that you mention. Thanks for the good tips
fantastic tips!
More coached should watch this video as it addresses elements no one does. Tennis is definitely an obscure science that is still being discovered.
thank u for ur coaching. i understand it ..Be going to practice it on the wall tomorrow. from Korea!!!
Thank you very much Thomaz. It is very interesting lesson.
Very nice and detail instructions! Can’t stop watching your video again and again.
Clear, intuitive, practical, game-changing instruction. The best of the best!
Soooo good lesson
-from South Korea
Excellent teacher. Thank you.
geat summation on the serve and how folks can see themselves in order to correctly align
Thank you sooo much! Can you do the same on the prospective of the forhand position. How do we best imagine the correct stroke ?
I have been looking for a long time, because the only thing that I have wrong in my game is the serve, and it is incredible how nobody could explain this key, I could not understand why sometimes I served well and sometimes poorly despite having the correct theory, thank you!
Great video, very well explained
Excellent tips, thanks
thank you so much! so helpful for me!
Very good explanation on proper body position for an effective serve.
Watching from Portugal... Great advices 👌👌👌
"The court is not moving...." HAHAHAHA, so true. My Man, you are THE BEST Tomaz!!!!
thank you, this helped me so much with my serve
Thank you Tomaz. Very educacional and didactic. Amazing. thank you very much.
Learn so much from this channel.
Nice thomas
I realy learned a lot contact point at such angle it helped me for natural pronation and its way...
You are the best instructor!
Thank you very much it was very good lesson when we're headed to heal and good luck see you again
The best lesson in the world. Thanks you always.
Another great video! You know this job. Thanks.
Your stuff is so great. I enjoy it os much..
I love the wrist angle part because it makes my pronation very nature!
Great advice thanks
Good video my friend! It's important for people to see the proper position at contact. Talk soon ;)

I'm a 2m tall guy and you would say that serving should be easy for me. However, my second serve was just like pushing the ball over the net at 20 km\h and any good enough player can hit direct winners from that. I watched this video and then tried just hitting more to the side... Just like you demonstrated. Now most of the serves go in, with power and spin. So thank you a million times for this video.
A common mistake is hitting second serve with a low racket speed to feel like a "safe" shot. Instead, your racket speed should be as high as a 1st serve but with more spin and height above the net.
Thank you for using the fence. That is very effective
Excellent explanation for a beginner. Thx
Great Great video !!!! Thank you so much !!
