Great lesson! Best way “to drop” is “not to intentionally drop” but let it happen naturally. Best way to pronate is also not to intentionally probate.

Thanks for your comments and contribution to the video. I agree completely, except when I’m teaching the motion, I want students to understand and perform pronation, deliberately, and then it can become a natural movement. Best, John.

Great tips and presentation, John. A few years back I chatted with HOF'er,Tom Seaver about the similarities in pitching and serving mechanics. He explained that the power moves in pitching are actually coming from the left arm and left side (or glove side) of the body while the right side is actually more passive/reactive, just as you point out. Keep up the good work!

@sanjeevshukla6865 Жыл бұрын

John, I see how holding the racquet behind the head halts the natural whipping motion desired in the serve, but do you think it is a useful intermediate position - a useful tool - when trying to get the feel of the serve, the feel of pronation, especially with less moving parts to worry about? Or do you advocate a different intermediate position?

@PerformancePlusTennis Жыл бұрын

Hi Sanjeev, Thanks for your great question. I much prefer starting in the "Trophy Position", where the tip of the racquet is pointing up. This is where the important part where the racquet drop and upward swing must blend together to create a proper swing rhythm. Starting with the racquet behind the head is stopping the racquet in the middle of this important phase of the swing. Thanks, John

On the kick serve, my understanding is the body is supposed to rotate less before contact. It seems harder for us noobs to end up with a natural racket drop in this case. Do you have any kick-specific racket drop fixes?

Hi Elliot, Great question and one I will address in a video in the very near future. Stay tuned! Thanks, John

I tend to change my continental grip sometimes to a forehand grip when ser ing. Any suggestions for correcting this problem ?

@PerformancePlusTennis Жыл бұрын

Hi Larry, This is perhaps one of the most common and challenging issues on the serve. There are a number of solutions, but the key is to understand the motion that compliments the grip, followed by a series of progressions to develop the skill. Much of this can be found in my Serve Playlist, particularly the video "Every Player Needs this". Seek that out and then let me know if you have questions. Kindly, John

@LubaLuba1 Жыл бұрын

There’s validity here but are only taking about first or second serve ?

@PerformancePlusTennis Жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks for the feedback. While different serves (flat or slice vs. topspin) have different swing paths to the ball, the concept of what creates the racquet drops is the same for all serves: leg drive coordinated with the toss arm pulling away and combined with a relaxed arm. Let me know if you have more questions. Best, John

I find it hypocritical that a family that comes from Sierra Leone one of the 10 poorest countries in the world and a guy who has been afforded the opportunity to play a game for a living, earn millions of dollars, live in a nice house and is given thousands of dollars of free advice and coaching from the USTA and others tells me that the United States is a horrible country.
