Today, we're uncovering one of the most misunderstood parts of the tennis serve: Body Rotation. And until you understand how to properly use rotation on your serve - loading away and rotating it... Chances are, you’re missing out on a huge potential power source on your serve.
So in this video, let's cover the 5 common serve rotation mistakes that often sap power from players’ serves.

I've been a USPTA pro for over 30 years, and this is one of the best and most complete kick serve videos I've seen. As someone who suffers with severe hip and shoulder problems, it's the one stroke I can't personally demonstrate on the court anymore. I will definitely recommend this video to my students.
Outstanding work, well done chaps!
This was helpful video. I was too closed at setup, especially on deuce side.
Thanks!
Yep. It's that torso stretch that is the real arbiter of power for anyone not Open level. Funny enough, I learned about this when warming up my serve against a windscreen on a bank fence. I was hitting it and I was like "why do I have so much pop?". I thought it was because I was rotating more, but when I tried to emulate it, the power went away. I realized when I was warming up I was really stretching my pecs and back muscles out (like I was doing bentover dumbbell flies) and then waiting longer to release and turn into it. POP.
By doing just that and having a loose grip and a decent amount of racket drop, I can bang out 95-100 mph serves without looking like I'm doing anything.
this is fire
Already liked. Love your videos.
By the way, after that video of yours teaching us how to kick, my back pain is gone and I'm way more consistent on my second serve. I don't know if you grasp on how much you guys positively affect on everybody else's lives, but I'm really grateful.
Just out of curiosity Dayday, what racket you use what strings and at what tension? I know these are not key elements to your game, but I’d still like to know.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Wanna-be better players.
WELCOME!! To the best RUclips Channel, where we flex and we learn.
bravo! very well done! one of your best serve videos. i actually thing the concepts of reactive break & deceleration could help explain the balance between enough but not too much rotation. lower & upper body rotation only need to be enough to ignite/fire/set off the kinetic chain but they must STOP in order to let the arm (the shoulder, elbow, hand) to race ahead. it does not take much lower body or trunk rotation to generate a massive amount of torque that then gets transferred the arm when the lower then upper body STOP rotating to let their momentum transfer through. TRANSFER only happens one link in the chain stops to the let the other one race ahead. that’s why the off arm is tucked in at contact, why the back leg kicks back after the initial push
The thing about rotation away from the net is that it makes tossing in the right spot really tricky because as you turn the tossing arm wants to turn with you and the toss tends to go more parallel to the baseline instead of forward.
Toss first, then coil.
@@proshepherd yes
It actually solved my tossing issues. I used to toss over my head or behind when tense. Now I start the toss after I fully coil and on my uncoiling, I have no way but to toss in front of me as I rotating forward to hit the ball. It also forces me to jump up, which is a bonus. Of course you need to release the ball correctly so that the ball is aligned to your right shoulder or at least between your two shoulders to have a good contact on impact.
i love the comedy. I absolutely love it. You seem like the nicest person, actually.
looks like only day 1 is available, when can we expect the rest of the serve challenge days? Its been like this since I logged in a month ago
Wait, you and Daytri are brothers?? that makes sense although I can’t tell which one is older😂😂 great information once again.
has the serve challenge been updated or changed from years past?
Hi coach. Great video. Question , I was practicing my serve couple days ago and my shoulder hurts since then. What am I doing wrong? Yes I have been playing for just couple yrs so I still learning. Thx in advance for your answer
Do you guys do camps / lessons? Where in the world are you?
the kings are back!
Thanks brother!!
@@RacquetFlex I have had the rotator-cuff then i cannot drop the racket. It may be my night mare and bad muscle memory. If i turn and feel more stretch from trunk and hip. Jumping and tucking non-hitting arm. The racket drop happen naturally.
Do you agree this concept sir?
I hope that i can hear your valuable advice
It'd be cool if someone did a motion capture of a person serving to see where the body movements are happening, for good and bad serves.
I did just like 3 times in a row.
This is all very helpful, but what i really want to know is if you can catch a fly with chopsticks?
Wonder where could I buy the shirt you wear😂
Sorry to write this, but this confused me. I'm probably doing all of these :( Teach me how to fix please, master ありがとう ございます
Is there a chance that the reason why Federer and Sampras are able to pull off a more extreme serve stance naturally is because of their eye-dominance? I also tried to do the more extreme stance but couldn't really pull it off. When I tried the pin point stance, it was more natural for me. Or maybe it has more to do with athleticism and flexibility?
Easy to understand, so hard to learn.
6:00 - ur welcome
Seeing is believing. I couldn't understand how the wrist rotation makes spin ball power .
You both have copied Fed's serve very well. If it took 10 years, it's totally worth it cos it looks awesome. When I first tried to copy Fed's serve, I did run into the problem with rotation. It first felt odd to turn your body that much so I tried the more open position. But slowly I moved back to the closed position because it made the kick serve much easier. I just had to control the toss perfectly for the 1st serve. Of course it's never perfect.
This guy couldn’t crack 110mph if his life depended on it. 😂😂😂😂. Sigh… though to be fair his form is better than a lot of tennis influencers….
