6:32 this is such a great comment! It's kind of like when they say the best way to know that you truly know a concept is to teach someone. Refreshing on the basics every once in a while truly helps!

This is brilliant, I just learned so much here. Thx a million:)

Great teaching. Easy understand the reason!!!

You know what I love about your videos? That you are having the best time making them, and improving yourself while explaining ;)Keep it up, please!

Good video. Good demonstration, Good explanation. Nice, humble presentation.

I absolutely agree with your tips and advice. I was trained back in the 1970’s and have played USTA tournaments, been PTR certified and coached High s School and USTA Junior tennis. At 5’6” 145 lbs. my kick serve out wide to the Add court ( for right handers ) has served me well in singles and doubles. Throw in the fact that I can hit slice, flat and a normal topspin serve and move them around making the kick more effective because I can change things up according to serve and game score. For me the slight grip change and ball toss locations are important. However as a player and coach I pay attention to toss locations as a tell when returning to guesstimate what to expect. Personally I love to hit the kick and serve and volley especially in doubles with a partner to cover part of the return zone. The high trajectory gives me an extra step before split step to cover return and volley.

Thank you so much. I will try this technique very soon on the court.👍👍👍

Super informative. Thanks !!

Thank you! Great videos!

Thanks Ryan..... great explanation 🎾

Nothing but good things to say about your kicker coach Ryan! 👍👏🎾🎾🎾

Great as always 👌

Excellent and clear video as always😊 What you said about you yourself having improved your serve, reminds me of the saying"teaching is a great way to learn"

You actually made very good kick serves sometimes 😆 Thank you so much for advice. Im going to apply for my practice.

Good explanation

The best explanation! Thanks a lot!

Good advice 👍

I love this channel : explications are clear

Thanks!

There's a reason why you're number one in online coaching.. 👏👏👌👍

Brilliant tips man, the kick serves were beautiful and they rose so high. I'm gonna try these tips as soon as I'm on the court My only critiscism for you, and I'm not sure if anyone noticed cos its so tiny and you could only see it on the side cam at 4:46, but you're foot faulting with your front foot because you move foreward just a touch in your service motion. Other than that you have an excellent service motion, very fliud. keep up the good work.

i been doing that getting as extreme on the grip as i can and still get the ball in its working as the players at the other end are not liking whats coming which means i am liking it 🤗 now to work on body form and ball toss, tennis is fun and thanks for these kick serve videos 😁

Excellent VDO!

Nice kicks, Ryan! A question: How does one make kick serve super-reliable for a second serve. I see almost everyone on KZfaq demonstrating it miss about 10-20%. This happens to me too, and so I stepped away from using it. (What is that racquet that you are using now?)

Hey Ryan, I am just a your subscriber because I see some good video in your locate, thank you! This is a good one as well, I am practicing kick serve for couple of months and dig very deeply according to these tips and concepts. I understand that totally but my only question is I lose power of kick serve when I am trying to swing sideway, it seems my hit is not thick enough and the kicked ball is more soft. Can you help give some advice?

The only thing I would say is the Toss needs to be at 12 O’clock and the toss needs to be in front of you, and you have to let the ball drop before you make contact with the ball at 7 0’clock! If you toss the ball behind you, you can put stress on your back and you will eventually pull a muscle in your back, but if you bend your legs and hit through the ball it will help you. Great job on the video Ryan thank you for posting this video my friend.

Ryan, you'll notice your toss was over your head and landing slightly in the court, Not behind. Thanks for being so humble and down-to-earth about your challenges with it. The best kick servers have a powerful leg drive up and forward, and the loosest wrist

Excellent video, thanks a lot for sharing the tips! I have a question: I am a right-handed and my "good eye" is the right one also. If I keep my body to the side of the court, I completely lose the reference of the net and the court, especially during the toss. So, does it mean that I have to somehow adjust the serve technique for my game? Maybe keeping my body a little bit more to the front of the court....

You are awesome!

I heard you mention (not word for word) that the racket motion goes right back up the path it came down. I think I'm seeing that your video shows that too. So I just want to make sure I understand: For the kick you do not rotate your forearm/wrist CCW to scratch your neighbor's back like you teach for the slice or flat serve? Thanks for another great lesson!

SUPERRR!!

Cool slow mo action. Watch that front foot too.

Man, freeze frame right at 5:20 and you see contact with the ball, right on edge, and the next frame, the racket is ever so slightly higher just after contact and your arm is fully extended towards the camera-ish. I've been having trouble keeping my kick serves from going long, and I suspect I'm turning into the court too much and pronating early. Need to record. Question: Your toss falls into the court a good amount, which I think adds a level of difficulty to hitting this serve. Would you suggest a progression of a more baseline toss (still behind)? Trade power for mechanics?

Another good vid Ryan,is it possible for you to do the same for a KS from the deuce side as we all know it's a tad easier on the ad side because of one's body position......thanks.

sheesh that kick

I'm 5'6'' and my serve became so much better when I learned kick serve. Much less double fault, much more 1st serve percentage also, I mean with my height serving flat is really not that great option.

Отл! Thanks!

Awesome Lesson Coach Ryan. few important pointers that I learned. Great lesson. I am going to try that out tomorrow!!! Thanks! By the way, do you know that you foot-fault every time you serve??? ha ha ha.

only for the ad court serve?

01:25 I question whether this is right, to hit the ball as it is dropping Kick happens because of fundamentals of pronation, and (slightly) different ball toss direction, but player still hits with arm extended and achieves the 7-1 ball strike, & ball still maintains downward trajectory. But not because player has allowed ball to drop. Great video, thank you

Hi, Ryan. Great videoes! Your videos really help me a lot! May I translate your videos into Chinese and share with my friends ? You know it’s difficult to see your videos for most people in China. I promise I would declare where the videos are from and not use them to any business stuff. Best wishes!

Great content, Ryan. I do think you and most others are wrong when you insist that the ball be tossed even or just behind your head. I've developed a decent top spin serve with a toss that is still in front or to my side. Imagine waving "hi" to someone far away - your hand moves from just above your forehead and extends up and out,brushing up on the ball. I get a good amount of spin and it's easier on my body. I also use an eastern bh grip and angle my stance based on your teaching that the strings need to face where you want the ball to go. Normally, my front foot is angled to the net post. In doubles, my foot is more parallel to the baseline when serving to the ad court in doubles.

Great tips, Ryan. Looks like you switched to a Yonex. Is it an ezone or v core pro?

Who wants to see some Coach Ryan match play?

great action on that ball!

One thing I notice is that not only should your body be sideways, but your arm/hand never crosses that baseline plane. Instead it is the racket head that goes over your head to hit the ball to get that right angle for the topspin. It's almost like a very loopy lefty forehand.

dope

Foot Fault!😁

Grip, toss, rainbow, no turn

You need to move quickly and swing as fast as possible in order to get a good, heavy kick or else the kick will just help the returner.

Good advice. You lift that left foot up though and foot fault on your serve - not that it matters for this... THANKS

You are looking more slim and fit today 😀

off topic: wondered what shoes you have on?

Bro you should throw you left arm to the body direction. Your left hand blocks your motion

Good notice Ryan Ready

😅👍

Would be better if we could see the ball all the way and not loose it at the top. Put your cam further please

Likely some others have already commented on this. Ryan, watch your foot faults. I noticed it on the slo-mo section. As you start into your service motion, your left foot gives a little jump and plants itself in a position that overlaps the baseline by half an inch or more.

The ball toss is over the left shoulder. Not, over your head and behind you.

5:17 foot fault haha

You're foot faulting. But thanks, Ryan, for all your good tips.

The slow mos still looked pretty flat.

Foot fault!

The reason your ball is not bouncing up high enough because your hitting the ball up too early at the top let the ball come down more behind your head and your right shoulder is turn forward too quick....

This serve looks more like an American twist instead of a kick serve

you are doing it only doing it from Ad court because you Can't do it from the deuce court

Foot fault, coach. :D just kidding. :D

Then the opponent reads it, and hits it back to you.

Solid tips, but you are literally foot faulting on every serve....gotta clean that up man 🙂

play your court is ACTUAL GARBAGE!!!

Thanks!
