      I tried your kick serve tips today on the tennis court and they work! Only thing is they're not very powerful serves - is it just a case of hitting it harder? This I find difficult if I'm brushing the ball.

  • @HH-yq4hy
    @HH-yq4hy Před 4 lety +48

    Excellent instructions! Key points: sideway, toss 12 clock and not inward, swing diagonally. Thanks

    finally something so clear on the kick serve. very well done, by far the best on the net. keep it up!

  • @tommorton512
    @tommorton512 Před 3 lety +10

    I could not figure out why my kick serve was more like a slice. I used a ball with different colors and noticed how it was spinning. You explained it clearly. I find the hardest part is getting the correct contact with the arm going diag. and the racket getting the topspin. I was having my arm go with baseline and not getting any power. Practice time!

  • @moysesgarcia6750

    Most complete and accurate demonstration of kick serve I’ve ever seen. I’m excited to try this technique. I have all other serves except kick which as alluded me! Thanks

  • @ripleypipe
    @ripleypipe Před 5 lety +13

    A 'diagonal swing path' is so key here Nick, thank you for pointing this out. Gordon

    Just spent a few days watching kick serve vids on CZcams - this is about the 20th I've watched. It is also THE BEST. You are very clear on the many aspects and attributes from ball toss, to torso rotation, to racquet direction, etc. Thank you, much appreciated.

  • @dan6499

  • @alarson8355
    @alarson8355 Před 5 lety +12

    Great video! You give a detailed explanation of how to hold the racquet, the stance, the toss, where to contact the ball and where to finish. I have not seen all of these components in one video before. Plus, you reassure the rec player how long it takes to learn and how difficult it is but yet give encouragement to stick with it as a long term goal.

  • @nburdsal
    @nburdsal Před 5 lety +10

  • @ic5761
    @ic5761 Před 2 lety +1

    Best kick serve instruction out there and I have seen many videos demonstrate this. None of the others address the bent or straight arm after contact as being straight like Federer or bent like Thiem. So when I was dong it straight arm, I thought all this time I was doing it wrong. I wanted to add a few more things, after I originally posted this yesterday. All of these other videos talk about having to throw the ball into the court, but this instructor makes a point that you might want to throw the ball over your head above the baseline instead of throwing it out in the court. He explains all that. That's another aspect of the kick serve that people get hung up on.

  • @mikie6453mikie
    @mikie6453mikie Před 5 lety +9

    Good breakdown of all the elements of the kick , I really like the difference between top players vs us recreational players, like the toss (inside the court for top level vs overhead for us. A lot of teaching pros have us mimic top pros but we don't have all the other elements necessary to make that shot.

    • @IntuitiveTennis
      @IntuitiveTennis  Před 5 lety +3

      Mike, 🙏 thank you. I agree some players have limitations and the technique will therefore be different.

  • @ziggy5466
    @ziggy5466 Před 3 lety +10

    That was a very informative lesson Nick. I have to develop a kick serve because I’m one of those people who taps the ball on my second serve and I also double fault way too much. I can’t tell you how many matches I lost because of double faults. At my age I now play mostly doubles ( men’s and mixed) and it’s embarrassing for me to give away points and matches because of double faults. Hopefully I’ll see some improvement watching and studying this video. Thanks for sharing this and all your videos.

  • @junkmail75034
    @junkmail75034 Před 4 lety +4

    I really like your explanation. Too many old instructions just makes no sense. We were taught to drop racket to scratch our back. But that makes my arm working harder and took longer for my racket to get to the ball.

    @nightdogggg Před 3 lety +1

    I have to tell you: While trying to use your instructions, The first serves I got in were huge. They didn't really kick , but they were fast and usually resulted in a service winner. I am working on the diag swing and the path of the follow thru. You are the best.

  • @darrenpretli3051
    @darrenpretli3051 Před 3 lety +1

    Great explanation. I have been trying and following some other instructions but have always been hitting it to thin with no power because I have been trying to swing across the base line. I was always getting it in with lots of spin but no pace at all! This swing path explanation is excellent.

    Another greatly detailed video. Thanks and I appreciate the way you explain all your lessons which have helped my game (4.). Would also like to get a video on the distance you hit the service ball in relation to where the toe is on the baseline. Would also like an idea of where the ball is struck in relation to forehands and backhands. In any case keep up with all the details you imprint on your videos. The best

  • @rds4629
    @rds4629 Před 5 lety +6

    Nice video. I am surprised you recommend flat serves before kick to beginners. Once I learned kick, it made me so relaxed so that even on days if my flat serve is off I can rely on the kick to stay in the game. If it's not a croatian secret, how is the leg thrust on the kick serve? In your legs video, you talk about how snapping/twisting the torso propels the feet off the ground, but most kick serves you stay more sideways... to my eyes, it seems like pros drive into the court w/ flat serves whereas w/ kick they get more air under their feet. Is it more leg usage in kick?

    • @IntuitiveTennis
      @IntuitiveTennis  Před 4 lety +3

      Depends on your level, if you are not consistent with kicker aim for middle of the box. First serve you can be more advantageous

  • @joernmatthias128
    @joernmatthias128 Před 4 lety +7

    Hi Nick, Awesome video! As far as staying sideways is concerned, the best trick is to keep and finish with the racket on the side of your hitting arm after contact with the ball. As a right-handed player, I'm always focused on finishing on the right side with the racket pointing down next to my right leg. This is very helpful in particular for recreational players who tend to turn the torso too early, including myself, if the racket does not finish on the side of your dominant arm. Keep up the good work! Best wishes, Joern

    I like your mention about kick on the deuce side. I'm a recreational player and I didn't know that is so difficult to produce kick on the deuce side. I'm happy now :). Another great vide. Hvala. Question is should I stay with common topspin second serv in deuce side? Yes, kick down to T is powerful services because produce high ball to righty player on his BH.

    • @IntuitiveTennis

    • @IntuitiveTennis
      @IntuitiveTennis  Před 5 lety +3

      Hi Ron, check my latest video on the second serve. There’s actually a big difference in speed. And yes it can be used as a first serve.
