You are such a good tennis instructor. Everything is always clear and concise.
I never learned to throw properly growing up. Thanks to Tom for correcting my throw mechanics. That was a game changer for me.
Keep those videos coming tom! Love your practical approach to it. At 54 i will never serve like a pro,but this is achievable for me. Thank you.
Totally agree. In my serve "journey" (by no means over) I've found the hardest thing is to develop a smooth, consistent rhythm/timing that can then be built on to move towards a slightly more advanced serve. Most rec level players I've seen are doing all sorts of "funky stuff" as Mr Allsopp might put it, that they perhaps think is something like an advanced serve but where the fundamental sequence is broken. When he says that 99% of players would be happy with his "basic" serve, I think he's spot on.
Thank you! Great comment
Great video! There are many videos on this topic but this is one of the best ones I've seen as it manages to explain the throwing motion on the serve with a simplicity that few videos manage.
Well said. Simplicity is the key.
Great way to explain the throwing motion and the service motion.
This is awesome Tom. Loving how you've made something complicated, simple. There's way too much information out there and it can be confusing at times and going back to these fundamentals is sufficient for most players out there. I'm looking forward on working on this!
Nice stuff, thanks. From symple to more advanced. That's logical. A lot of people try to understand fundamentals of serve. Pros are not in need of any videos at all but for club players all your explanations and approaches are important
i do like throwing as serving. the real issue is that many people don't really know how to throw. Ok sure they can toss a ball but the motion they use doesn't get enough out of the body. The subtle features of throwing that get lost in translation I think are ..
1. The racquet drop. (its exaggerated on the serve0.
2. this idea that the shoulder and rotation is going forward and up while the racquet drops
These ideas are present in the throw - absolutely but you might not really notice them while tossing a football or tennis ball. So while a football player or a pitcher will pick up serves super fast - people with bleh throwing motions won't really get it.
So when you learn to serve - sometimes you will learn to throw better..
cheers Tom your vids are always appreciated and educaional, what about ending in the power "X" to avoid overrotation as other coaches here on YT often advise. Do you think it´s unnecessary if your right food stays on the ground and therefore avoids overrotation? Any input on that topic?
I like the fact that your toss is not high at all. In fact, it's one of the shortest I've seen.Obviously, more pros than cons compared to a higher toss. How does this change when you add in the legs?
Nice video Mr Tom
Hi everyone! I've spent a bit over a year focusing on increasing the power of my serve. On the way to a 100mph serve (not there yet) i've been fixing issues that stopped the kinetic chain, like dropping the tossing arm too early leading to a chest-facing-the-net contact point...and many more 😢. Now I feel like stuck and having the feeling that there is a 'barrier' that I cannot overcome...

I’d love to share with you my serve journey with you. Why I think changing back to a FH grip to serve can help some…I emphasize SOME of us challenged learners break through.
Preaching to the choir mate. 90% of my clients have an eastern grip. But if you could send me an email I’d love to hear it.

I think having your shoulders square to the net at contact is bad because that does not allow pronation.
It does allow for it. I pronate a lot because I am quite square and it requires pronation from that position. You have a point though, most people struggle to do it.
@@TomAllsoppso basically the wrist just pronates and follows through? The wrist doesn’t necessarily bend down right? I hope you can answer, it will be a great help.
@jaranis9273 yes, I’d think about it more as forearm rotation or pronation though, not wrist.
@@TomAllsopp ok ok, thanks so much, now it is all clear to me ❤️.

You could learn more from the throwing motion than you will ever know if only you could learn some physics. I'll give you some hints: (1) shoulder as fulcrum (2) elbow to direct leverage of the humerus (3) the concept of 3rd Class leverage. (4) Converting power into speed. Carry on...
But I’m into helping people, and simplifying things. This is the opposite of what I’m going for.
@@TomAllsoppHelping people with simple-minded wiz-dumb. The good news for you? Most people want to be in the herd than be heard, In other words, people are sheeple. Baa,,, Moo....clean up after. Not my cup of tea.
