"Use LONG movement on ball tossing and point the ball as guideline" is beneficial to me in my recent serve drills! My issue is the non-dominated hand don't follow the ball more further after releasing ball. That makes my head and eye down and lose the ball contact exactly. So I suggest the sixth point is eye or chin up to catch the ball contact probably :)

Great video, John. I would also note that your "dinner plate" guideline metaphor also tends to give you enough of a pause before the tuck to discourage premature shoulder axis rotation and netted serves. Thanks!

Yes, very true! Thank you, John

Very good explanations. Tip 6. Held the ball with fingertips not in the palm. Tip 7. When you release the ball open your fingers as quick as possible and so the wrist makes as much as possible angle with the forearm.

I liked the video. Very useful. I would like to see a video to improve my attention on the ball and eye coordination. I once saw in a tournament that the player was with the coach doing some exercises in which the coach threw the ball at him and the player grabbed it with his hand. I think that's what I'm talking about. What other exercises can be done to improve my focus on the ball?. Thanks for your videos.

Hi, Rui, Thanks for your feedback and suggestion. Did you see this video? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bb95ic2L3r2yomw.html It should help quite a bit. I will work on a video featuring some useful exercises for hand-eye development. Thanks, John

What's the difference between Federer and Nadal? It seems they both start with their weight forward, and then rock back onto the back foot, and then toss with body weight still. I watched it again and couldn't figure out the difference.

@PerformancePlusTennis 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Richard, Great question (!) and perhaps I was not clear in my explanation. Federer "rocks-back" to get started into the motion. Nadal "sits-back" and stalls on the back leg before starting his tossing motion. So, their rhythm is different entering into the tossing phase. Another example is Pete Sampras, who was a "Sit-back" style. Thanks, John

@schnooksdad136 3 жыл бұрын

many pros lift their front foot toe area eg sampras..why?

@PerformancePlusTennis 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, Great question! It's usually just a style movement. Sometimes the player will have the front foot pointing to the net post at the set-up, and then pivot the foot to the side before tossing the ball in order to gain more coil into the serve. Thanks and stay tuned! Best, John

One thing: I see the ball on your toss coming to you..,while the best serves I have seen go away from the server…

Hi Jerome, Thanks for your comment and contribution to the video. I use the left hand as a guide, but in reality I place the ball forward slightly. I will be publishing a video on this topic in the near future. Best, John
