Thanks Steve. Since I started using this tip, the consistency and reliability of my serve have improved significantly. As you say, it really works!

Steve, the last bad serving day I had was when I tweaked my toss and ended up rushing my serve. I do agree that relaxation is the key. But really, in recreational tennis, players don't warm up their serves before a match. It's typically, first in, and they start. Which to me is crazy, but that's how it's done. When you get to a more advanced level, then they take the time to warm up properly. I just know, when I'm warmed up, my serve has pace and placement. If I don't warm up, it will take a few games before I get loose.

Im a newbie player last year and i find your all of your lessons very helpful. Thanks much sir and more power!

Another great lesson. Thank you so much for all of your help

Another excellent video. Just great. Thank you.

Thank you. So helpful. Mantra.

Brilliant video.. Thanks

Steve, I find that I hit my best serves whenever I'm able to patiently slow down and elongate the "together" mantra before exploding up to "pow" at the last available opportunity to strike, i.e., when the ball begins to hover.

Great idea... I'm going to try today

Very interesting idea. Thanks

Steve, you never fail to amaze me (while informing me)... thx!

Certain to try this one The statement about rythm rather than method seems correct as you pointed out how hard it is to change method so it can't happen by chance on your bad days Thank you again

Hi Steve ! you are tressure for the tennis learners. i hope your video would be more papular!

very good...this rhythm you describe can be practised and achieved in other strokes. Rhythm is tempo and can be practised when we are in the rallies. But in the rallies, we must be aware of the split step. Rhythm help us to be more coordinated. No matter the stroke...I think it´s possible to create an entire article with this subject: Rhythm, thanks,,,

2:19 - The rhythm exercise

Hi Steve ! It seems to be a great way to get a more rhythmic, fluid and effective service. I will try it and I think it will help.

Too good....

You are as always right I served without even any ritual to be done before you noticed me.

Good serve tips! I agree that keeping more relaxed helps for better serving!

exceptional

Thank you

Worked great in practice. Looking forward to using it in a match.

Not bad idea but my racket is delayed after my tossing after, i find just breaking on the rock back easier and count 1 2

Interesting. Will try this out. Never thought about synchcronizing the "heels up" with racquet handle going back. It is important to get the heels up since the service motion is an upwards lift into the court. Along the same lines, is it important to get the heels up on the forehand? Or is it acceptable to hit the forehand flat footed?

release is 1 hit is 5 and everybody can find his own rhythm between 1 and 5 because not everybody is the same , some go faster then others and around. this helped me for manny manny years in teaching rhythm

Hi Steve, I am wondering when I should toss the ball... As I take back my racket slighter later than the toss, so it fits me better when I star tossing at the "loose" moment. Or should we toss and take back at the "together" timing?

Isn't relax and loose the same? I feel like 3 words is easier to develop a flow easier than. 4 so it would be relax together and pow

Yes sir, the mantra is loose and rythm. Ofcourse changing takes a long time.

I find that my bad serving days are linked to bad tossing days. If the tossing arm is loose enough and the ball attains enough height and direction, I can get the serve right. I have started to do warm up exercises for the tossing arm to overcome this problem and it works better on the days that I stretch that arm.

Another amazing tip. Thank you. Maybe change the Mantra to a serve term like LETS to make it easier to remember? Loosen (wrists) Ease (shoulders) Together (Body) Smash (Ball) Just a thought.
