That was the best talk on serving young man,,, Honest,,,, Hey Stefan Edberg had a slow serve He volleyed . Keep up the good work. Students want a magic pill and win.. You gave a perfect talk to everyone , We could never get a kick serve on the UK astro surface with Slazenger balls s and raining,, Laugh with me Mr Stokke or wet real grass

your calves are insane bro

I like the slow medium fast idea for practice. 👍Thx!

Excellent. Really high quality instruction. Keep em coming!!

saw this somewhere on shorts or instagram and it worked for me.

Thank you for these videos. Another thing about trying 2 first serves depends on the point. 30-0,40-0, 40-15.. why not ? Get your opponent thinking.

My thoughts exactly! Thank you for confirming what I have often thought!

Just discovered your channel . Very good tip . I will work on it. Can you please do a video on how to load on forehand backhand serve and volley ? And drills too. Thanks.

This is great! Can you comment on serving to the Deuce? Do you face more front on (right hander) sorry if dumb qu 😂

Awesome advice Stokke! What is your best advice if you start missing too many 1st serves in a match? Happened to me recently in a second set... So you start having to rely on your 2nd serve a lot, eventually you double fault and get more tentative... And lose the set. Thanks and keep up the great content :D

You mentioned winning Kalamazoo at 17 with a frying pan serve. That's the highest level of success that I have heard for a guy with that serve. When did you switch to a Continental serve and what was the catalyst?

The match makes perfect sense and that’s what is going on in NBA and 3 pointers! Problem maybe rec players probably making sub 50% first serve.

Nice video . I like where you are coming from . One thing , I suggest that the aim of the first serve should be to get it in and to move the opponent , ultimately off the court when possible . Too many players try to hit the hell out of their first serve but it is just on a whistle and a prayer with little chance of it going in . The aces generally come when the server uses good technique and is not forcing the ball . They should be regarded as a bonus unless a player really does have the ability to hit a good percentage of unplayable serves . Technically I have found it helps a lot on the second serve to shorten the grip while working towards having the racquet pivot in the hand when the racquet drops down the back , and again pivot at the end as part of the pronation . This will help the player get more spin . This requires practise and is not for every player but finally it will enable the player to develop both power and spin without forcing the serve . Don't force the serve , relax on it and find the power that exists in correct technique .

Good stuff Stokke, on your topspin you recommend not pronating…or that’s just something you don’t do on your topspin. Well I guess you are but it looks like you don’t

Great content as always. Really like the 3 different serve speed idea. I started working on my second serve about a couple of week ago with the exact same technical focus. Toss over the head, swing up, and stay sideways. The one I had the most trouble with was staying sideways. While standing, my muscle memory to rotate early was really strong. What really helped to get the feel for the swing path was serving from my knees. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gMV-i9GTq6_GZ4U.html
