After watching untold thousands of tennis KZfaq videos, this is the most comprehensive and clear use of segmented progressions on the tennis serve. Thanks. Glad I found your channel. 🎾

This is honestly the best tutorial on serve I have ever watched.

You really have a talent for teaching tennis. Bless up.

The channel name: 2 minute tennis The length of the video: 28 minutes

8:56 "elbow the enemy idea" technique + 13:31 "Knocking the bday hat off" + 16:18 "petting the head of a tall dog" = PERFECT SERVE 😂😂😂 Best coach ever

I've watched many video explaining serving techniques, I can say that this one is the best

The explanation was easy to understand even for Japanese people. I learned a lot.

I have watched hundreds of videos on the serve but this is by far the best step by step tutorial. I really appreciate how you breakdown every aspect of what goes in a correct serve.Thanks coach!

Awesome instructor! Very practical and effective without giving useless importance to body mechanics and physiology like some others show off on. Keep up the great work, coach!

The most comprehensive tutorial on the serve!!

Hands down best serve training video ever

Really helped me understand more of the physics of what’s happening with the “ball goes where the strings point,” and then racket path creates direction of spin. I was struggling with serve in part because the whole side on, swing up, swing towards side fence, etc., never made any logical sense to me, so I was never able to troubleshoot my own serve. Very helpful, thank you.

Absolutely brilliant!! So well explained. Makes it look so easy too. You're a star

Very thorough and comprehensive! Thanks Coach.

i am watching from Korea . this is one of the best video in the world.

I like the way you teach; it is very clear and a good method for serving! Thank you very much!

Ryan, really made a difference with the birthday hat thing and only bouncing with the ball with my hand (not the racket). Thank you for this! Keep up the solid work, coach!

best serve video, highly recommended

i was tring to train this last night for like a cople of hours and i hitted 3 perfect serves today. Thank you so much man

very professional and pretty clear. thanx

“The ball goes where my strings point, not where the racket travels” If there was a Tennis Bible, this would be in it.

That's a lot of learning! Congrat's

Thanks a lot Ryan for share your knowledge, simply, clear, awesome!

Huge respect for your work, thanks for putting the time and effort.

Been playing tennis for years, could never figure out why my serve SUCKED so bad haha! It was the grip first and foremost and everything else you pointed out step by step. Thanks so much for your help more then you know!!

this is the best video i've seen about serving. thanks a lot! just subscribed!

Too good. Excellent video and coaching

Great video and service tutorial. Your points really makes sense.

Fantastic, detailed and simple instructions! Great job explaining the basic serve in its tiniest details! Wish I could see the differences between kick, slice and flat serve also explained by Ryan.

Have been looking at youtube for many years and play tennis for many years, I still can't do my serve right until this video! Thank you for sharing such detail lesson! Best lesson ever

You are my first and the only teacher who shows whole picture of serve. Thanks so much.

I am advanced tennis player but I have never seen anyone teaching serve like this u. 👏👏👏👍🙏🙏

A good coach is blessed with the ability to observe and from his observations come insights and the ability to point them out. You have done just that ! I like the birthday hat example. I see it now. Just until a week ago I had no idea I was bringing the racquet back incorrectly resulting in that infamous waiter’s serve. Thankfully, because of your advice and a minor adjustment I made, I’m no longer doing it and can knock the hat off my head easily...😁. Thank you. That’s a neat little device you have to demonstrate spinning a ball.

Like everything else, life is a product of learning experiences. Great lesson here on hitting arm position. My serve has lately been in the toilet, but today with these tips it's back, flatter, more twist, more pace, more consistncy albeit rather different from my previous serve. Nice video!

Love this! The best tutorial for serve so far!! Thank you!!

To be honest your channel is the reason I do well in tennis

This was freaking amazing! I want to go to the tennis court right now and try this out.

Perfect explanation that comes from a profound knowledge of this beloved sport! Thanks a million!

Fantastic!! Thank you!!

Love this VDO!!! Thank you for the tips!!! Easy to understand! Now I’m working on my new serve!!❤️

I cannot fault this video. I've played this game since 5 now 65 and your video is invaluable. AWESOME instruction. I cannot believe the ease of how I achieve so much more accuracy yet more power with less effort??? Thank you for these fantastic fundamentals, watching second time for second practice. No doubt I'm finally on the right course. You'll love my chocolate cake! 💯

Probably the best explanation and demonstration on youtube

It was a very helpful lesson video. Thank you.

The best coach I can understand. Thanks a lot coach.

Excellent tips Ryan, such a simple, clear, brilliant explanation!!! Thank you so much

I never seen a better tennis explanation ! You’re a great tennis teacher !

Excellent tutorial. You make it so easy to understand what needs to be done to develop a decent serve. Thanks.

Perfect. Franck from Paris

Wow, excellent instructions - I am ready to eat the cake now. 😊

I just wanted to thank you man. You literally saved my tennis ass. I had a very nice serve in a past but then there was a huge break. When I decided to get back to the game something got changed in my serve technique and I started feeling a sharp shoulder pain when serving (at the exact moment I hit a ball). I made a research and realized that there are at least a few shoulder problems that might cause the pain including impingement and so on. At the same time I received a lot of suggestions what to do from my local tennis community and people have suggested a lot of things like stretch, yoga, doctor appointment, MRI and stuff like that. But I decided to try something from my opinion more realistic and reviewed my serve technique a long with this brilliant video. And all pain has gone immediately. You are great!!!

Most helpful serve instruction I ever heard!

Thanks for the great video.....you show the correct way to serve step by step very clearly

Thanks, great video. I am short and 50+ and a beginner, next thing to learn is the serve. I have made all the mistakes you mentioned🤣.I Like the segmented approach, rather than the whole serve motion. Nervous but excited to try this.Will get the birthday hat🥳 Thanks from Cape Town, South Africa 🏖

Love this video . Such a great explanation

Best serve video i've watched

I love your explanations. You are a very unique and talented trainer, Ryan.

Well explained, thank you so much

One of the best videos I've seen on the serve.I already have the lines drawn on my hand and the racket, practicing in my living room and hoping to implement this in my USTA match tomorrow. Will continue practicing afterwards. I love the birthday hat idea! Thank you.

Best tennis channel. Thanks from Turkey

Wow best explained serve i have seen. Love it.

Thanks Ryan. I've watched heaps of youtube videos on serves and this is definitely one of my favorites. You deserve to have many more subscribers.

Thank you so much a searched how to a perfect serve a long time and i didnt understand, until i find this video and you explained it really good. Thank you!!

Thank you for this complete and detailed tuturial !

hands down one of the best serve videos on youtube, thanks!

I am not a native speaker of English, but his English is still easy to understand. In addition, the explanation of tennis is polite and very helpful. Thank you very much.

At about the eight minute mark, you addressed probably the single most important thing to help me improve and that is “don’t be too hard on yourself.” I am notoriously self critical, and it is detrimental to my learning because I have expectations that exceed my ability at this point. Great analogy about baking a cake and tasting the flower and saying it sucks. Of course it’s going to suck, it’s not done yet. I have been told how to serve by instructors and have gone out and hit hundreds of balls for hours on end and didn’t seem to get anywhere, not on any consistent level anyway. Going to give this step-by-step improvement method a chance and will definitely report back. Thank you so much for all of your great videos, they are very greatly appreciated.

This video is gold. This guy is gold. If you can get out of your own way and just listening to what this guy says, you will succeed.

best serving vid i’ve ever watch thanks so much

Best explanations I have seen. Easy to practice, and very professional. Thank you, sir!

WHILE PRACTICING, RACKET HIT TWICE ON MY HEAD VERY BADLY !!! you are an awesome coach but, finally I learned to serve ..... :)

Love watching your videos, really help me improve my technique and correct what I was doing wrong. Tysm

You are clearly a great coach. I so wish I could take lessons form someone with your knowledge

Excellent list of Check Points for the serve. I would add that after you release the ball ALLOW YOUR TOSSING ARM TO CONTINUE UPWARD ALMOST TO THE VERTICAL. This will insure a reasonable height for the ball and it helps to get you into the "Power Position" where your front shoulder is higher than your back shoulder. Another outstanding tennis video. Bravo.

Amazing lesson! Thanks much Coach!

You explained so clear! the best video on serve!

Perfect demonstration !

This is the most concise video on 'serve' fundamentals that I have ever seen. Just implementing the the first part of positioning the arm properly has already made a noticeable difference in good serve percentages and with more pace too! I'm looking forward to progressing through the entire lesson including full pronation and spin.

Came across your channel at 04:00 in the morning. Fantastic teaching on the serve. This really brings it all together. Elbow the enemy, knock the birthday hat off the head, hit the side of the ball with the edge of the racquet! Wow!!!

Love your channel man. Lots of sophisticated ideas presented in a straightforward and upbeat manner!

Thank you so much! You are the best one who let me really know how to serve ! So smart teaching!

It really works. Trust me. Like Bailey footwork, his technique is super effective. I get cosistency, power and feel my body moving with the ball. Warm thank from vietnam.

Wow!!! Wonderful video! This is an exceptionally clear breakdown of a serve! As a beginner, now I’m able to notice details that I had no idea existed, before your excellent video. I’m going out to buy the birthday hats - I will have to watch this video a few times because it is filled with sequential drills. I want to try them all - “thousands of times “ ! Thank you so much!!!!

Great grip! Very helpful! What a lovely lodge in the background! Wish I was there.

Long video but i watch till the end, very nice explanation 👍 good job

The face sends it, The path bends it.

Amazing video, cangrats from Brasil!!!!!!

Great lesson. Thank you very much.

Thank you for sharing these tips!

Imagine seeing a guy play tennis with a birthday hat on 🤣.

Always the number one. So many coaches should learn from you. Please never stop to show us tips to improve our tennis. We want also professionals tips anyway... :p Thanks

I've played tennis for a year and watched hundreds of coaching serves online but there is none as brilliant as yours. I really love the "knocking off the bday hat off" part - actually what I've missed and struggled over the year. Thank you so much sir! wish you all the best and more videos coming up !

Oh wow, amazing video!! Thank u so much for breaking this down, I have never understood how to do this right but it made so much sense the way u showed it👍

A truly useful lesson, for the first time I can fully understand the serve movements. Thank a lot, my best regards.

You have made me excited to practice again! Thank you.

Wow. Best, clearest serve coaching ever. What a great teacher.

Great coaching,I really like it!

Great explanation and super drill. I'm glad I found Your channel. :) sub!!

I see so many explanations where pronation is a goal. I'm not a coach but a tennis enthusiast with scientific background. Pronation in my opinion is a necessary consequence of two things: 1) you need to hit the ball with the strings; 2) you lead up to the contact with the racket edge to minimize air resistance and maximize speed. So right before contact you pronate, not because of the snapping effect (ok, it's there too) but because of the interplay of these two things. When you cleave with an axe, do you lead up to contact with the blade and then pronate for a snapping effect? Of course not, you lead with the edge and contact with the edge, because you want to cleave. Similar with the hammer. There's no pronation going on there because pronation doesn't produce any significant effect. In tennis, pronation is not a goal either. So no, the continental grip and the hammer motion don't "allow you to pronate". It's the other way round, pronation allows you to lead the racket with the edge and still strike the ball with the blade, not the edge.

Thanks for a great teaching video. One of the best video that I have seen so far.

Great lesson. That is a teacher !! Thank you.
