Best tutorial for serve.

many thanks for your precise explanation!

Outstanding lesson thank you

Very nice lesson, really pin pointing the key moves to enable a good tennis serve. Thank you sir.

Relaxing the wrist and particularly not trying to do the racket drop look like really good tips for me. Thank you

A great video John, one of the best on the racket drop. Thanks for sharing👍

Great explanation John! Thanks for sharing! 🎉🎉🎉

great video as always, great job, I hope to you a great healt, big Hi from Morocco

Awesome talks about the mechanism of racquet movements in serve. At one time years ago I was trying to consciously make racquet drop as some online coaches teach and it just felt hard and awkward to do in a series of quick motions.

Very helpful

Thanks for your video, I Love it ❤❤❤

Really great advice! The only stroke I need to lift my game high enough to beat ATP players is my serve and I’m trying!!! This video inspired me with your great insights and last tip🙏🎾🏆

The tossing motion must be perfect for the racket to drop naturally - learned that the hard way John. Thank you for all your videos - the best.

wow..what great instruction..i cant thk u enough!!!...i love tennis vids even though i dont play(hopefully this year)...knowing the importance of non-dominant arm in tennis would u say the position and tension of the left arm during the serve toss can effect the dropping of the raquet..i ask this silly question because in golf getting the rt elbow(and not dropping the club) stuck can be attributed to bent left arm(creating a hindering brake)..lack of complete turn..and tension..things u mentioned...and seeing so so many tennis players struggle on their 1st serve(tension and over-hitting)--im just curious if tension in the tossing arm can prevent this looping action in the right arm..in any event u rescued my golf swing and the trapped arm/elbow preventing my drop of the club..i subscibed and look forward to more great vids from u..thks again..your instruction was so enlightning..

John, maybe the open face racket drop is not really important as long as the racket goes up to the ball on edge (just before pronation happens). Two of the best servers ever Sampras and Federer have an open face drop. Shapovalov is the most extreme of all. His racket drops with a completely open face to the sky.

First of all, I would like to thank you for sharing all these great and useful tips throughout the whole serving motion, BUT still I want to point out that the video is not directly answering the question you pose in the title, and that's probably the specific point some of us wanted to know in this video... I clicked in the video hoping to learn some drills or tricks that can help myself achieve the natural racket drop, but none of them are mentioned... The title would be better named "The 4 fundamental techniques that you have to know for proper tennis serving" to indicate the video content IMO. But still thanks for the valuable content that you put up anyway, as many of the people would definitely benefit from knowing the fundamentals. For people like me that are looking for the "natural racquet drop" specifically, one thing that I learnt was to focus on leading with the elbow with loose grip, which helps me make quite some progress to a certain point. Let me know if there are some other useful tricks, drills or mindset to help achieving that.

I think on a different tips that help me , don't try to hit down targeting the opponent service box , you might end up pushing the ball , with much less power on the serve . Try to hit the ball aiming for like , 8 inches above the net . That is where the get the solid contact point . The ball will drop down inside the opponent service line , just by the help of gravity naturally ..

John, did you address the stay sideways in this video? I didn’t find it in this one. But good video 👍🙏🎾

The racket drop serve is the one thing missing from my serve. This video will help correct that.

Ball toss is essential also ; ball toss too low => no time to make a good racquet drop.
