Simplest and most helpful video on pronation I have seen to date.

[@Tenniswithdylan]

Great to hear that!

[@theforehandguy]

I agree, awesome video Dylan!

[@thanhn2001]

Wish youtube had a mirror feature both right handers and left handers have equal access to great videos like this

[@Tenniswithdylan]

Yes that would be good, sorry about that

[@DavidLecuona-y6v]

Brilliant for lefties though.

[@jillmitchell9460]

This video was extremely helpful! I am a lefty and have been trying to learn how to pronate but my instructor is right handed and we are not having much success. Watching and practicing the five exercises has made much of the pronation process clear. My arm, hand and wrist are now working together with my brain.Even the waiter tray with my wrist has disappeared simply by providing some space between my trigger finger and the rest. Thanks so much for your help.

[@petr7856]

Great material! At the age of 70 I am revamping my game (to the best of my ability). The pronation kick serve is on the agenda but seems a daunting challenge. Your material is most helpful. Thanking you.

[@Tenniswithdylan]

[@auspiciousday]

Thank you for the five drills to pronation. I will work on these to get a better feel and understanding of how pronation feels.
I really appreciate you emphasizing being relaxed and holding the racquets with a relaxed hand.

[@jasonsanderson3612]

Very good video, and great to see a left hander demonstrate the technique - rather than having to “mirror” a right handed player/coach!! 😊

[@Tenniswithdylan]

Thank you! Glad that this video could help you

I'm a right handed player but am always helping my wife with her serve and you explained the pronation of the raquet very well. The 5 steps you laid out are also a very clear description of the breakdown in a good solid serve. Great Job!!!

[@mait8603]

Thanks for this great video sir. It is very helpful. Are you supposed to hit the TOP of the ball when pronating? Or you supposed to hit the BACK of the ball?

[@Sam-je4xc]

Great drills thanks

[@Tenniswithdylan]

Thank you

[@Reiza-yn5ig]

[@burgerdentone16]

to pronate when we have problems in our rotator cuff is unstable and painful.
But your advices are great

[@Tenniswithdylan]

Thank you

[@blaskbla]

Thank you! Very useful

[@Tenniswithdylan]

Great to hear that!

[@lirenchan]

Thanks.

[@jackspradlin4183]

Fantastic drills, especially like catching ball, easy to do at home to develop proper finish. I believe it will be a game changer for my lame racket drop as well. I have a great shadow swing but when I introduce the ball very little racket drop as I served wrong way way too long, as a result I have to break bad muscle memory. I have loose grip and racket still wants to go straight to the ball with very little drop. If I can get arm to drop when doing the catching ball drill I believe it is a game changer. Would love to see a video on the racket drop.

[@Tenniswithdylan]

Yes sure thing Jack! Great to hear that the drills can help you

[@joshxgee]

Very useful

[@Tenniswithdylan]

Thanks bro

[@Tenniswithdylan]

[@eugenemitchell8319]

Thanks for the info but it is hard to keep them in you mind until you get a chance to try them out

[@amasacoleman5979]

Was great

[@kimminh007]

Tuyệt (Excellent)

[@mark-anthonyalexander8425]

Awesome. I'm gonna try this out. I lead with edge well and pronate into contact but my brain went let me pronate felly😭 I have good pop on my serve...do you think I'm losing power but not following thru the pronation fully?? Thanks for the great video!

[@Tenniswithdylan]

Good to hear that! All the best

[@Strike1141]

I think so. I have the same problem lol

[@DarkAngel31596]

Which racket are you using?

[@Tenniswithdylan]

Wilson shift

[@ianchoi5609]

Bruce Lee’s Voice!

[@Tenniswithdylan]

😂

[@tmpqtyutmpqty4733]

5:58 OK wtf how did you do that

[@markplumb3968]

Great video, clear explanations, useful drills ……
( except where you say it’s like giving your partner a high five, whereas technically you should have said a low five 😃 )

[@slawomirsokolowski-d4l]

Pronation is easy. Hitting target is not. How to aim correctly? IS IT ONLY BY PRACTISE?

[@DungHoang-bv2yd]

You cannot do this in real game because it is not natural pronation. The more you try the more in accurate contact point.

[@drbonesshow1]

Pronation is not necessary for a powerful tennis serve. So why spend so much time trying to pronate? I'll give you a hint: learn about the neutral wrist.

[@Tenniswithdylan]

It’s part of the service motion, people get often told to snap their wrist which is a am very much against. Trying to provide useful exercises so people do not get false info
