In today's session, we look at the flat serve and the role of the wrist and elbow to create faster and easier serves. We also include a great drill to help you get the exact timing of these complex movements.
The tennis serve is a complex movement that requires the coordination of many different muscles and joints in the body. At the core of the serve is the arm action, which involves a series of coordinated movements that generate power and accuracy in the shot.
From an anatomical perspective, the arm action in the tennis serve is driven by the muscles of the shoulder, arm, and wrist. The serve begins with the player tossing the ball into the air, which activates the muscles of the shoulder and arm. As the player begins to swing their arm forward, the muscles of the rotator cuff and deltoid work to stabilize and rotate the shoulder joint. At the same time, the muscles of the triceps and forearm work to extend the elbow joint, which generates additional power in the shot.
Biomechanically, the tennis serve is a complex movement that involves a combination of linear and rotational forces. The player must generate a large amount of linear force by pushing off the ground with their legs and transferring that force up through their core and into their arm. They must also generate rotational forces by rotating their body and arm around the axis of their spine. The combination of these forces creates a whip-like action that generates a tremendous amount of power in the serve.
Physically, the tennis serve is governed by the laws of physics, including the principles of force, momentum, and acceleration. The player must generate enough force to overcome the weight of the ball and propel it over the net and into the court. They must also control the trajectory and speed of the ball, which requires a precise understanding of the laws of physics and how they apply to the motion of objects.
In summary, the arm action in the tennis serve is a complex movement that involves a coordinated effort of many different muscles and joints in the body. The movement is driven by the muscles of the shoulder, arm, and wrist, and is governed by the principles of biomechanics and physics. For elite players, understanding the intricacies of the arm action is critical for achieving maximum power and accuracy in their serves.

This video and your previous one (kick) brilliantly point out what you should be feeling as the final two joints of the kinetic chain (elbow and wrist) rotate to strike the serve. I tried your fence drill for the kick yesterday during service practice, and it is an absolute game-changer. I was finding much improved contact point location on the ball, and after a fashion, far greater racket head speed. Thanks to Steve for putting these final maneuvers under the biomechanical microscope in such detail.

Brilliant. A great explanation. Especially flexion. I see some coaches saying it is not present. But when I watch pros in slow motion. It is always there. Thank you

Very very good. At my academy we work with several pros. I will use this still with them. Thank you

Steve, you discuss wrist extension here as well as your book (which I enjoyed very much!).

Wow! This is an incredible video! I am guilty of bringing that elbow forward and for me I do pronation but it’s too late as seen in my shadow swing video. How do I keep it back? Do I focus on the hand and wrist action making the racket lead the way? What do I say to myself in relation to the elbow to achieve this?

Steve--when I look at your serve in slo mo, you go from an extended wrist position into a neutral one, but not into the flexion you describe earlier in the video.

Do you think the extension and the backswing always needs to be fluid without any hitch?
