In today's video, I explain why toss arm positioning on the tennis serve after the ball release is crucial when trying to develop power (vertical momentum).

I have tried to get my arm vertically and it has never felt natural. Forward gives me more control with the ball going into the court. Thanks. this video gives me confidence that a vertical arm isnt always the best position. You are by far the best tennis instructor online.

Love your videos Nik, especially covering fundamentals vs stylistic so often!

Thanks for sorting this out for us. Arm vertical+hip out+chest up saves my lower back.

I like the backward arm position for the very reason you stated. It helps me really get that toss up, my hips out, and helps with my cartwheel. I do have trouble with throwing the ball too far back on occasion. Still working on it. I've decided to not make any big changes on my serve because I'm getting confused and tentative when anxiety gets high. So, I'm sticking with 3-4 fundamental goals, and I'm doing a lot of repetition to work in the relaxation.

Been trying to find a decent toss forever. Watched this video. Realized that I thought I was tilting my shoulders and arching my back correctly, but I was not arching correctly. Besides power, that seems to affect the toss, as well. Hit some serves tonight and it feels much better. I am going to start counting the 10,000 reps (or is it hours?) that it will take. Hopefully it is just 10,000 reps! 9800 to go. Thanks, Nick!

Great Detailed Information... most players need to keep the toss out in front ...the Isner Toss Arm just makes sense.

Good timing. I have been playing around with this. Like many rec players, my tossing arm does not continue up much after the release yet I still have a big shoulder-over-shoulder cartwheel. I am still working on high tossing arm because I suspect that it provides some additional benefits like stability and control for the hitting arm. Time to go film more serves.

Really enjoy your videos you are very knowledgeable about the service motion. I was writing to ask if you could do a video on how to use the mid section or abs in the serve. From observing some of the better servers like Federer and Sampras they bend or lean back more than bow out with the hips into the court although they do both to a certain extent it seems the bending back is more noticeable. I had asked someone about this and they described the lean back motion feeling like a fast sideways sit up during the forward part of the service motion. Just wondering if you had any thoughts about it.

Hey Nick, I love your videos. Can you make a video on how close our hitting hand(right for me) should be when hitting overheads and serves to our head because I have seen some pros hold it really close and am wondering if that is what I should do. Also, should the racket drop go down the center of the head or is that unimportant?

Love your videos Coach Nick! A quick question, when you do a flat serve or a slice serve, is your dominant shoulder in front of non dominant shoulder or behind (like a kick serve)?

Thanks, Nick! I have a forward toss arm position but struggle with getting my hip into the court. Instead, I find that my knee bend slides forward into the court. Any suggestions for getting my hip in the right location and improving my cartwheel effect?

@meh3747 Жыл бұрын

Great vid, thanks! If you had to choose between you bending backward or your hip going forward, what do you think would help more to your serve?

Hi! Thanks a lot! It really helps) I was thinking that backward position is the best and was angry because it was hard for me to do it. Forward is my choice. Intuitively) Little question. Is the rotation of the wrist important during final phase of tossing? You are not rotating as I can see. But some pros do. Federer for example.

Nik, why most of the pro have their fingers pointing backward when their toss palm facing the sky? more coil? Naturally the fingers should point to the court or forward.

@TheProRecplayer Жыл бұрын

Think of it all as a zig zag. If you are vertical on the arm to counter balance hips to the side, palm facing up is another counter balance adjustment back to the hips. Like walk like an Egyptian. It’s slight. It also allows you to get your arm up higher hence shoulder. So more of a gradient. It also is like a cherry on top. You feel more stable right before you explode. Talk to the hand cuz the serve is about to listen.
