Serve Faster, Serve Harder

If you want to make your serve faster, try this tip: toss the ball first and then take your racket back in the back swing. By doing this you have to swing faster to catch up to the ball before it drops.  One way to practice this is with the LAG SERVE. 

1. Start with your racket arm behind your right foot, relaxed and pointed straight down. (Make sure your knuckles are facing out and you have your serve grip.)

2. Toss the ball with your left hand

3. Raise your racket up by airing the armpits and swing fast to catch up to the ball.
