Hi guys !
Want to know how to serve like a tennis pro?
Here's what you need to do:
- Position yourself on the baseline, in profile to the net, with one foot slightly in front of the other for better stability.
- Use an appropriate grip for your serving style. For me, I use the hammer grip, which gives me more power and room for improvement.
- Hold the racket behind your back with your free arm. Bend your knees and hips slightly to prepare for the push-up.
- Toss the ball into the air in front of you, slightly forward and toward the side where you will hit the ball.
- When hitting the ball, turn your body sideways toward the net using rotation of the shoulders, hips, and legs to generate power.
- Fully extend your dominant arm up and forward at impact with the ball.
- The racket should go over your head to maximize power.
- Aim to hit the ball at the highest point possible, just past the top of the bounce. This will allow you to hit the ball with a downward trajectory, increasing the speed of your serve.
- After hitting the ball, continue your movement by following through completely with your arm and body. This will help you transfer all your energy into striking.
