The Serve

Andy Roddick winds up for a serve.

The serve is arguably the most difficult shot in tennis to learn because there are so many moving parts of the body that must act together. The fundamentals section explains what every good player does when they hit a serve. The progressions series gives you a step-by-step method to follow to build your serve up from scratch. And the advanced section goes into detail about what the top pros on tour do to add extra oomph and spin to the shot.

Also, visit the kick serve and slice serve sections to learn how to hit these two types of serves. They are important weapons that any intermediate to advanced player must have in their arsenal.

Serve Fundamentals
The fundamentals are the things that every single pro tennis player does each time they serve. By contrast, club level players are inconsistent with their execution of the fundamentals. The nine videos in this section explain what those top-level players do when serving, one part at a time.

Serve Progressions
The serve progressions section provides a series of easy to follow, step-by-step lessons to build your serve from scratch. Even if you already have a service motion that you’re used to, break it down and build it back up here.

Advanced Serve Technique
This section focuses on some of the more advanced techniques that pro players use when serving.

Kick Serve

Slice Serve
This link will take you to the slice serve section of the website.

Come inside and play like you have an unfair advantage.

    i'm looking for help on my topspin serve, i took lessons, but wasn't able to finish working on the topspin serve with my teacher because i moved. i have my toss worked out well, and the direction of spin, but for some reason it has to much arch, i want it to be more direct, more power. idk how to fix it and i would appreciate any help.

    this is not very helpful considering the computers at my school are extremely slow and so all the information that is on your website i cannot obtain easily enough so its ALL YOUR FAULT! nah not really. but the computers are very slow. and there is nothing that you can do about it unfortunately. but im just saying that you should make your info more easier to obtain for people who have a certain amount of time and slow computers. thank you for reading this abuse letter. very greatful. goodbye. and brooke likes bananas :)

    Hi Will..
    I wanted to ask the what grip should i hold for a flat serve..?? As im a begginner i suppose flat serves would be the simplest ones amongst the serves to start with..(Although i cant even do it properly).. So please can you guid me with it..
    I would be really greatfull..
  • manu
    continental is the grip or the V (between your thumb and index finger) should be on the top of the racquet, you do this because its the easiest grip that allows you to snap your wrist when u serve.
