It's been working but inconsistent. Sometimes it kicks out and sometimes it just jumps up. Sometimes the pace slows down and sometimes it's on fire coming in lol. Just needs more reps I think. Thanks again!

Perfect timing! I was looking for a video on high margin second serves. Of course the Alcatraz Kick has me inspired to improve mine. If you could augment this tutorial with where exactly you’re aiming the brush the ball that would be ideal: My understanding is slice you’re looking to hit the ball towards the side, around 3:00. Kick it’s behind the ball. Wrist/mind mapping is quite tedious. I lack an acute awareness of what the wrist is doing on serve, sometimes it’s too open leading to hitting long. Focusing on where to hit the ball is essential until muscle memory has developed.

IMHO, both spin serves will have the handle come out behind the arm. It's where the racquet ends on follow thru that determines type of spin

@oneminutetennis 2 жыл бұрын

I sort of agree with you. But. What I show here is a great way of telling the different swing paths. I also think that it's a combination of where the racket begins AND where it finishes that determines the spin. Thanks for a great and informed comment. Glad your enjoying the channel.

@@oneminutetennis I've been wondering about the role of the abdominals on the serve, or the role of the core in general. It seems to me that if you need to lean back without bending the back, then the abdominals should be playing a key role, but no one I know talks about it w/r/t the serve.

@JamesTenis 2 жыл бұрын

I have a similar question and concern. With a continental grip and the handle finishing in front of your arm, you will hit the ball with the racquet frame, or back side of the string. I think the only way to hit the ball on the front side of the string bed is to pronate or with a wrist flexion. Right?

George Bernard Shaw said "I really do believe you. I just divide by two to allow for your enthusiasm!" I think if you attempt this swing path, you will end up with the correct one, which is close.

Interesting training technique. Swinging up and out is what I considered to be the “proper“ technique. But it seems, as a training tool, you are promoting up and in?

@twinwankel 2 жыл бұрын

Nice video. As a beginner, I did use flexion and this hurt my wrist after awhile and I stopped when I learned the proper technique which is to "pronate". I use a little ulnar deviation but that happens after contact. In general, the wrist is one of the weakest joints in the kinetic chain and you want to minimize the use of it. That's why I pronate my entire arm and use the bigger muscles in my shoulder.

@oneminutetennis 2 жыл бұрын

My experience is that if shown correctly the movements naturally develop into pronation. Your right, of course, this is meant to show players who are new to making spin on the serve his to create these effects. Flexion is interesting, I've used it and taught it to vary the flight of the kick serve and never encountered injury issues.. I'm not saying there are no issues, I just don't know if them, in my limited experience. Thanks for your great contributions

@twinwankel 2 жыл бұрын

@@oneminutetennis I don't have the strongest wrist and I started with the pancake grip which I had to use flexion to get power. As much as coaches hate it, It worked very well but I did feel strain on it. And the second serve was always problematic. (It was easy to serve aces with it.) So I had to switch to the continental, and develop a proper serve. I'm glad I did, cos I can serve a countless number of serve without tiring. I do think your exercise has merit. Good to get a feel of the strings during the second serve.

@thomasc4777 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Steve, great advice, though I'm a little confused. On the topspin serve, are you pronating your wrist on ball contact, and so much so that the palm of your right hand is actually facing sideways and away from you towards the sideline? If so, I think this was a trademark of the Sampras kick. And I'm not sure how much pronation you're doing on the spin serve. Trying to pick up your wrist action is a little to view on the mobile phone. Maybe you could do this again with with a little closer visual of your wrist action on both serves. Thank you.

My humble opinion about the slice serve you showed will have players cultivate bad habits. You showed your first serve at the start of the video, isn’t slice serve simply to pronate less so your racket face hit the ball with an angle and hence slice serve? Please share your thoughts on this. Thanks

@oneminutetennis 2 жыл бұрын

Hi I actually don't understand you message. The slice serves often have zero pronation. If the player gets good at it. Then ordination occurs naturally. But it doesn't begin with pronation. That's like running before you can walk. Have I misunderstood. Or does this answer your question?

@bournejason66 2 жыл бұрын

@@oneminutetennis let’s talk about the end goal for a second. Are you saying even pros, when they serve slice they don’t use pronation? And what’s your definition of pronation? Maybe it’s good to clarify it for viewers and me. Thanks 🙏

@oneminutetennis 2 жыл бұрын

But Jason, you are talking about pro players. When I introduce the video I explain that this is about learning the swing path of the spin serve. I don't think that many pro players will benefit from a lesson on learning the swing path of a spin serve! First you learn the shape Pronation is a bi product of the correct initiation of the stroke. I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear enough at the beginning of the video. But this lesson is not aimed at pro players who need help learning the slice or topspin serve swing paths .

@bournejason66 2 жыл бұрын

@@oneminutetennis ok thanks for clarifying it. I’ll think about it more. I used to do my slice serve the way you showed. It has a lot of spin but no pace. I’m wondering if you have an exercise or ways to incorporate both spin and pace. Just like your forehand videos. Thanks.

@oneminutetennis 2 жыл бұрын

I'll make a video on this. But to try and help now. Usually when players get slice yet no speed. They are slicing with the arm and the wrist is fixed. Try the little exercise I show to free up the wrist and then hit your normal slice. It might work. Let me know please

@topspin1715 2 жыл бұрын

@sarkology 2 жыл бұрын

That’s a slice serve action without pronation and not really a top level service motion. And both tips are wrist-based and the wrist shouldn’t be the driver of the action. Trying to control a serve with the wrist is inconsistent and can cause injury. The action should be the whole arm and the wrist will naturally do what you want if you get the arm motion correct

@oneminutetennis 2 жыл бұрын

You are right But. Have you tried the exercises? The elbow movement and to a lesser extent the shoulder happen automatically as a bi product of the movement I show. I don't mention this because I don't like over complicated teaching and I sometimes feel that coaches explain too much. It doesn't help the player at all. Hope that this makes sense It's great that your enjoying the site. www.oneminutetennis.com
