Haha I actually developed the pancake serve because I couldn't learn the kick-serve and wanted to be a smartass to my coach 😂
Well you proved him wrong.
its nice that you talk about eventuel limitations of the player and that you explain what to do then!
You guys have the best serve instruction videos on RUclips.
Ikr
Tremendously detailed explanation - delivered in a highly articulate manner. Great job!
This video was PURE GENIUS. So good on so many levels
This is actually probably the best kick serve explanation available in RUclips
Nice! Glad you mentioned throwing the edge. That helps me on all serves. One thing that is maybe not a pro thing but helps me is… Since the fundamentals of a serve are the same you can mix the amount of ‘kick’ you use. For example instead of a 100% kick serve you can add a little bit of kick (spin) to a first serve for better safety. Sometimes 50-50, 75-25, etc. Just slightly adjusting can lead to lots of variations of amount of spin you want if that makes sense so your first serve has more safety, but still has a good amount of pace. A guess you could call it a 1/2 kick serve. Lol.
Thank ypu guys for putting that effort to make these videos. It transformed my serve for the better!
Wonderful video as always! Would love to see some match play videos from you guys!!
Another very helpful breakdown and explanation of all the techniques involved. The most helpful for me and most definitely the rationale behind this is the position of the elbow/forearm of the non dominant arm at and after contact. It does make sense that it act as a counterbalance. Another benefit of this for me personally is it will minimise my trunk to open up more than it should. Thank you so much.
The best coaches. By far. The fact that we get two of you is…amazing. One left handed, one right handed. Perfection.
Many thanks. Forever grateful.
I would love to hear more about Djokovic and nadals typical second serve. Sounds like a great video.
Yeah! You guys are alive and well! Good to see new videos!
Awesome video! I would love to see a topspin slice serve tutorial
Excellent video. I was looking for this since a long time. Thanks buddy
Gimme a top spin slice tutorial! I wonder i've I have been hitting that accidentally, thinking I've been hitting a kick serve all along. I'd love to see the difference from your perspectives!
As a lefty who double faults a lot, I'd love a video on a topspin slice serve from the best tennis instruction channel on RUclips.
Woah, I watched this entire video. I'll keep all of these pointers! Thanks sir (from Texas!) 🎉❤
What a nice session! Appreciated it! Gonna practice this tomorrow
What a video guys! I appreciate you.
Topspin slice serve, yes please! I believe I've been doing this one for years but I'd really like to know the mechanics to make sure!
Your presentation is great !!! Very very useful Thanks
Yes, please. More on the topspin slice. Thx.
awesome video, thanks for the tips!
Would love to hear how the slice kick serve works, thanks
Pure gold, as always! Slice vs. kick, pleaseeee xD
This is such an amazing video! This will be very useful in my serve. Thank you for making it!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. What model of EZone are you using?
Awesome video thanks so much for making - would also love to hear more about the top spin slice serve!
You got it!
Thanks, great evidence based coaching
Awesome videos! Thanks.
Lets go I was jaw dropped when I saw my favorite tennis RUclipsrs upload a video on how to kick serve
The most positive sum tennis channel, you guys share the e love, explain it like a friend who cares, and make sure your not the conspiracy friend, but the well read one 😅 thanks team RF!
I love the videos you guys produce!; very thorough and clearly presented. Where do you guys teach at? What state and city?
Such great videos 🎉
Closing in on 100k! Great advice!
Great video, brother. Serve is my natural shot I haven't needed to work as much on, but haven't developed my kick too much yet. This is informative, I think more 7-1 than 7:30-1:30 to get the higher bounce would be better for doubles to follow it in and get more time.
I just figured out THEY AREN’T THE SAME PERSON 😱
This is a superb serve lesson. What you said about Rafter, with his combination of hips vs shoulder counter twist, and his forward toss into the court(30%) to produce such a wicked kick, I certainly did not know that. I think now that I am beginning to understand, Ben Sheldon does something similar. Not coincidentally I suppose, he seems to have the best kick serve out there right now.
Great video, thank you.
a new video about differences between kick and slice would be more than great!
Really want a video on Nadal's second serve. I'm more used to the slice serve than kick and I believe it would feel more natural for my game
awesome video, like all other videos.
No bullshit, all relevant information and common misconceptions. Well done! 👌🏼
Thx!
Yes please elaborate on the “Top Spin Slice Serve”!
wow!! what a serve
Yes, please do a video on slice spin serve! This one was great as usual!✌️
theyve got a video on this already bud!
@@lemondrank Oddly enough, scrolling down my RUclips that video appeared 😱
Best tennis tutorials!
Best instruction on RUclips.
Gonna use this🎉
What’s up DJ Carlo! Awesome 🔥
7:25 That kick serve from Ben Shelton was crazy!
It's like hitting a dead spot😂There's no way to return it but standing way far back from the baseline
Medvedev could return it xD
The best of the best reviewer channel
Topspin slice serve video pls
Holy moly that Ben Shelton Kickserve 😮

Aside from it being a hard serve, i'd worry about injury and back pain. Kick serves are for the very determined.
Question : How to make the kick serve with more forward momentum.. I end up just brushing and the ball has difficulty clearing the net.
please break down the topspin serve in more depth!
A slice vs kick serve video would be clutch
You guys are the serve gods. The best YT coaches by some way. Awesome instruction as usual👍
Thanks for the kind words Grant!
Great video. Thank you for your inf. Question, How can I get consistent on my toss?
Good question! We’ll likely make a video on this soon. Stay tuned 👍
@@RacquetFlex hi, thank you in advance for this. I have been playing tennis just for couple yrs and I find the serve very difficult. I think the serve it's "hard" enough without me worrying about were my toss is "going" 😉😉
PS. I really enjoyed your video on the slice serve...
Best tennis channel (also, love your jokes)
Excellent & detailed breakdown, one of the best for the kicker, thanks for your research.
Can you also make fast kick serve? this serve you can use fpr 1st serve
I can make 2nd kick serve but i have problems with 1st kick serve : i lose to much power and my serv ist to slow
Question: I find sometimes when hitting the kick serve that I end up hitting the trailing edge of the frame and shanking it. What adjustments should I be making for this?
Topspin slice, please. Like yesterday. When you get a minute 😂
Did you say to toss more into the court to keep the ball in when swinging faster on a kick serve?

Hey, I got a small question about the 5-day-challenge. I saw this too late 😂
Is it okay to join it if you're outside the US?
I am living outside the US.
Ah yeah!! Kick away!!! 🎾🎾🎾
Freund hits an inside-out serve, which has to be hit with a forehand grip. I was self-taught as a kid and hit this type of serve in high school (not nearly at that pace, of course) in the late 80s. I wasn't a great player by any stretch of the imagination, but got a LOT of hate (and free points) for a weird motion and lefty spin from a righty player. Try to hit it now and it makes my shoulder hurt because it's a crazy unnatural motion.
17:55 Wow what a cliffhanger of a comment right at the end of the video! You gotta follow up with a video on how to do the twist serve!
Very nice lesson. You look like Fognini lol
Hello! Please slow-mo also these parts: racquet throw, contact, follow-through. Otherwise, great job, thanks!
Who has the best kick serve? Sam Stosur!
You look like Fabio fogninis twin
finally 😃
ball toss is the more important than anything; if your toss isn't right you will not get rotation or leg push
Great job, Dayday!! Are u guys going to FL for the World USPTA Conference this year? Let's play again!
Not specifically a kick serve issue but, something I discovered that I NEVER see anyone discuss is a mistake that 99% of all club players make. You have a strong leg drive, but all that energy is wasted because the timing is wrong. Players start the arm upward motion at the same time the start their leg drive, WRONG! Your racquet hand should stay still while your shoulder moves up, loading up the muscles and tendons in your arm like springs. Then start your arm motion when the leg drive is at least half complete. So, legs first, then arm. Watch slow motion of some top players and you'll see this, and when you try it yourself you'll find that free power that you've been missing.
Thoughts?
Can you please summarize this lesson. Just say what do.
How to do kick serve? There are these points and those points you must do, like all the pro have done, which are shown by demos. This is a collection of many important points/techniques you must do. Sorry, you get confused? just repeat those points, you will have a powerful kick serve. Even though the guy in this video did not show the true kick serve himself but just topspin serve.
at my age im not able to jump that much when hitting the ball
was that manny pacquiao in the pink shirt?
If you are older forget about this.Not worth shoulder surgery.I know.
Although this may be true for some. It is not a good general representation of older players who understand the mechanics. If most of the work is being done from rotation, then the serve motion will incorporate the shoulder as a part of the kinetic chain. If not, the serve is definitely more shoulder-centric. It has more to do with what the athlete understands and executes vs. the age.
There are 2 of you. One right handed, one left handed. 😅
This video, like most others, spends the least amount of time on the most important issue, racquet orientation at ball contact and how to achieve it. Everything else is detail. I've watched a dozen videos now and I still don't really know how to do this.
Agreed. This is a really tough one. I always think "work back from contact".
First - "where do I want the ball to be when I hit it?"
The racket head can be in only one position.
Then I think "what do I want to do with my wrist?". Then "ok. So that tells me where my elbow needs to be" and so on. If you have the correct grip and you understand what you want your wrist to be doing at contact, then this means you can only have one shoulder position.
Ok, so how do you get your shoulders into that position?
I’m sorry but way too many details for someone to start serving a kick serve
You need to shorten your videos
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." -John 14:6
too much talk, just show us your kicking
Maan, where is my kick ganja? Sorry, but your videos is usefull. So i'm back to you. Cheers!
As a lefty as well. I find i loose so much speed when i kick it out on deuce side? Good players smoke figure it out and smoke it .
2:30 - it's a flat serve.
