How to Correct The Waiter's Serve In Tennis




      This is awesome! I rarely see anyone teaching the serve the way we teach, but this video lesson does. I have been searching for corrective videos to help you and for personal professional development. This teaching pro talks about hitting the ball with the edge of the racket, using the correct grip, and turning the left edge or in our terms "Karate Punch." 
I love how the teaching pro talks about how the serve is a learned movement, not something that comes naturally. You have to train your forearm to turn or do the "Karate Punch."
I hope this continues to help you grow. I am so excited I found this video!!!!!

Serve steps (WE DO)

 1) Heel of hand goes on number one
 2)Bounce ball on edge as if pounding a nail into a board. Choke up on racket using serve grip on Number one.
 3) Touch net with racket, toes pointing straight ahead. 
 4) Reach racket up high on edge, toss ball above head and touch with side of racket. 


These four basic steps will help you learn to use the correct serve grip.
