We all want that feeling of effortless power on the serve, and you have probably heard before that you must get into a great racket drop to get this feeling.
However, the big question is how do you get into that optimal racket drop?
In recent months, OTI Director of Coaching Gregg le Sueur has experimented with some new drills to help players achieve this even better and quicker.
In today's free video, Gregg shows you a drill to optimize the elbow position during your serve, and you may have even seen this drill from us before.
However, what Gregg realized in recent months is that many players have been executing this drill incorrectly, and in this video, he explains exactly how you need to execute it to get that effortless serve power!

Great video, loved the progressions and the point about using your leg drive to initiate the racquet drop!

[@paulorogerio3733]

excellent video, very detailed with real-time comparisons with Federer, Djokovic and Nadal. Great practical exercises.

You guys are the best when it comes to tennis drills for all aspects of the game but especially the serve. Great tip on using the body & legs in the serve & at the right time.

Great video. I have watched many videos on tennis serve and like your structured approach and particularly the tip about using the leg drive to start the racket drop. So helpful.

[@henrylove514]

Nice drill, Gregg!

[@cliveburks]

Good liked the breakdown and drills for the serve. I know the feeling of the uncoil I can feel it in air swings not yet perfected it with the ball toss and hitting the ball. Thanks

[@waynemiller1356]

Thank you for this demonstration and explanation of a stroke that is complex…..👍

[@harryharrison4749]

Great video 👍 I'd done the hitting the ball with my elbow drill before but I'd overlooked also driving up with your body too - makes a big difference 👍

[@gregglesueur3224]

Harry, great to hear that you found adding body helpful.

Fantabulous drills for developing the ORD.

[@topspin1715]

Pardon my stupidity but what is ORD?

[@applesforakbar]

Great explanation - how side on do you want your chest to be throughout the motion? And does it very between serve type? Cheers

[@baysbill]

very good

[@gihan84]

I am having a difficult time to stop bending my arm and instead bend the elbow to get the real racket drop. I did a serve practice where i did good with the elbow bend but now i got back to my bad habits.

[@humanentity2214]

I prefer the birthday hat drill for racquet drop.

[@Adventurevictoria]

your left arm is wrong position in your follow-through. left arm should pulling down in order to be correct shoulder over shoulder positon which is main reason that can create natral force to pulling you up to sky not pulling you donw to ground .
