{Serve Lesson} Perfect Serve Practice 20 minute routine
The serve is probably the most frustrating stroke to master on the tennis court!
There are so many moving parts.
So much technique that goes into making a serve work at a high level.
And to serve correctly the GRIP absolutely SUCKS!
This is all before we even encounter the nerves that come along with match play!
But here is the thing...you can absolutely master the serve if you have a Perfect Serve Practice routine!
The serve is the one shot that does not require a practice partner
You can master the serve 100% on your own!
Awesome!!!!!
The bad news is so many people go out and hit bucket after bucket with poor technique
This just reinforces BAD habits!!!
That is why it is so important you stop hitting buckets of serves incorrectly and adopt my Perfect Serve Practice Template

As a teenager I had an other, worse serve problem. As opposed to groundstrokes, I didn't "feel" the target when serving. It felt numb. I was barely able to hit the left or right field, not to speak of targets within that field. I was desperate. I trained endless hours with the only result that I hurt my shoulder but didn't fix the problem. I asked my trainers for help, but they were clueless. Serving in a match was horrific for me. Two double faults or more per game was normal.
Then I found the solution. I had to relearn my serve from ground up. I started with serving from 2 meters behind the net. Once I felt confident, I stepped back on meter. Repeat. And again, until I finally arrived at the baseline. Finally I developed a feel for the serve.

This helps thanks
Helped a lot. Thx.
This is the best video I've ever seen for people with service problems; very simple, logical and helpful.
the fact that you knocked over basket of balls for this videos shows your dedication. respect!
😂😂😂
Good methodology! Thank you 🙏🎾
Awesome Pete ! Love all parts of your game. during your serve I paused the video and that each time your serving arm was perfectly straight after the toss. Bravo from a fellow lefty.
Wow, awesome tips, Pete! Thanks for sharing this serving practice framework.
As a certified instuctor I agree with this lesson. I love your energy. LOL I wish I had it.
The only instruction that earnestly reveals the golden tip essential for popping a right serve.
Thank you so very much.
So lucky to come across to your perfect demonstration.
I eventually made it.
This is one of the best I learned from your online lessons year after year. I already mastered the one handed backhand skill which is very hard, and I hope I will advance my serve technique to the next level, at least almost like a pro. Thx very much.
You have a great way to explain the mechanics of tennis in a positive and easy to understand way. I am just getting back to tennis after 18 years away and want to develop good habits so that tennis is enjoyable again, ie, I dont get embarrassed all the time.
Awesome video!. One of the best explanations that I saw in my life. Thanks!.
I greatly appreciate your instruction in this video. I was doing exactly what you said: blowing my serve in matches and then practicing the same faulty stuff over and over. I was extremely frustrated. The Cam Newton Throwing Position changed everything. YAY!!!
Nice. So easy to hit alot of serves and feel like you had a good practice but your emphasis on focusing in on hitting good shots makes the difference here. Thanks!
Remembering the previous serves and adjusting to these serves as you continue is great knowledge to carry into your service games. I might try it!!
Thank you so much!! Can’t wait to take it to the next level
This was the best tennis coaching video I’ve seen yet. Thorough, real advice, shown in detail and also repeated enough to get it. So many other videos are too short and just skip over details. Very good, a subscriber!!
yeah!!! awesome thanks...lots more great videos to come
excellent tip on the 'Toes..go'! this is the answer for the rhythm to connect between the toss and strike the ball!! bravo..bravo..
Wonderful video on serve. One can't find anything better, within or without RUclips. Thanks a million!
Great video. I’m a very active 65 yr young tennis player/surfer trying to step up my serve after some layoff time. I really like the breakdown and analogy of “power leaks”. I’m not a mechanical player and your description of the service fundamentals seems very doable. Great job.
Well, it's now 2022 and I hope you are now a still very active 67 year old tennis player/surfer! Have you been doing this practice routine and if so, have you improved? I'm an active 54 year old and am looking to improve my stagnating tennis here in Aussie Land. Cheers mate - Dave
I believe this is the most effective way of practicing the server. Thanks for creating such a great video. Great work!
thanks so much!
I have to admit that I learned something. At first I thought he was, “Wackadoodle holding almost, ‘side armed’ - I was wondering, “How the hell is this guy going to get into full, proper, position”? LOL
I heard of copying a football quarterback for full shoulder rotation, but not EVER for when a quarterback is, “charging up” the ball for storing Kinetic Energy. I really did learn something new.
AWESOME!!
Cant thank you enough for this video. I have always been plagued by timing of my leg drive on the serve. The stop and go technique has resolved that problem almost instantaneously. Now all i do is toss the ball , bend my knees until the peak and mentally shout GO... and thats it ! The rest of the biomechanics of the hand, the racket drop , the oblique muscle bend into the court , shoulder over shoulder all takes care of itself as if by magic.. Thanks so much , cheers :)
fantastic news...makes my day :)
This is a very impressive serve practice routine. I’ve been trying to retool my serve for the past four years, after suffering a shoulder injury, without much success. I’d accepted that my match play days were over. Now I’m excited to at least try these tips to see if they help. Thanks.
thanks so much let me know how it went...
Hi Gomez - are you still playing? Hope that shoulder is working for you. I'm also retooling my serve after a rotator cuff injury sustained 10 years ago (from over-serving of course). A big part of a more shoulder-friendly serve is to be sure to hit the ball in front. I'd been working too hard with a kicker and taking the ball behind the shoulder line. Cheers from Sydney - Dave
Loved this video. So many things I can Immediately work on. I’m thinking I need less fun matches and more workout drills!

@@brucestrickland8561 I agree. Play tennis with the intent to do it right and practice it with a purpose and you cant go wrong in your growth.
Ok Allora per la prima a
Enjoy watching your perfect serve practice. Very good instructions for good practice habit.
I feel bad for his students who would be picking up balls from the ground 😂 1:59
Will try this routine for sure!! TY!
Super helpful to see the slow-mow steps of this serve. Can't wait to put some time in trying to replicate it or at least the main principles ; )
Thanks Pete, I'm going to try this today.
cool let me know how it goes
2.08 You spent a Lot of time To Take The balls And put in order in The basket..howewer You comunicate a Lot of Power with your words. .Very impressive
Nice Explanation(s) ..........Great Job !!!
Thank you!!! Great to see another leftie serve;)
OMG, Stop and Pop worked so well for me. Thank you!!
I think the crucial point is that reps aren't enough - you have to practice with intention, focusing on improving specific aspects of your form. It's mentally taxing, but ultimately far more efficient.
"Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect". V. Lombardi (probably)
Basketball analogy...
I usually say, to match yours, stop and go is loose shots from inside the paint. Lazy jump is free throws. Power house serve is modern jump shot from inside the three point line...and three pointer jump shot is a power house serve with extra leg power.
I played basketball all my life (well since 14) and I use it as side training for footwork. Had to have input with your analogy...lol. Great video.
Great video! Thanks for putting it out there.
Best clip. Very precise. Excellent coaching. It gives a lot by introducing a simple and very effective methodology. Great work coach
thanks nazir
@@peterfreeman9969 speach was very clear
Fascinating!
Great video!
Great lesson...Really valuable! I really like the way you break things down into learnable and repeatable steps.
thanks I hope it works for you
@@PeterFreemantennis This is awesome for being that you are a lefty!
Excellent video! Thank you so much!
Great coach, thank you so much!
thanks Ivan
Thanks and respect from the Netherlands. I played tennis 18 years ago and I'm starting now again. I'm 6ft9 and I think that is an advantage. My service is just fucked up because I play hard but they end up way out.
Love you man you are amazing ,keep it up
Ahh.. elbow position!! Never realized. Thank you !!
you are welcome
Thanks for sharing! 🎉🎾
Great practice tips.
Nice coaching sir ji
Excellent framework to practice your serve, you have a nice system, and your service motion is great, better than 99% of the players out there. Ignore the trolls and the haters Coach Pete, you are one of the best online coaches, you have great passion for the game and always willing to learn new techniques, improve your game and your coaching, and share it with us.
Awesome video! Thanks much for your time
Good stuff, thank you!
Thanks Coach 🎾
Excellent tuition.
Nice video Pete !
Good stuff!!
I love your serve. If mine was close to that one, I would be such a great player.
Time to work.
You can do it!
Fantastic tipd
Great video Peter! Would you say the toe moves before or the same time racket drop begins as I believe my problem is two fold, like you mentioned I dont wait when I toss, and I swing off back foot being too flat which also is a disaster, working on getting off that back foot just dont want to do it too early either. I watch serve videos with a platform stance where they talk about body weight goin forward while tossing, my swing feels rushed. I brought up a lot any input would help.
You are the best
glad you have also done a lot of platform stance serve videos as it is confusing to know how your bodyweight needs to be positioned from watching a pinpont serve other than beginning where you only moved toe
Fantastic
i snap a little late too. its a bad habit. played for 24 years now and it is taking me a long time to break my habit. thanks for video
Thanks for the vid
Good lesson
I tried signing up for the free training plan, but it calls my email "invalid ". Is there any way to fix this?
thank you!
Great tips, especially breaking down the warmup session leading up to real serve drill! BTW your link to bonus training does not have any video link...(Safari browser)
Thank to you sir 🙂
This is great. Wish you were in Sydney!
GREAT VID, master!
I guess that "warming up (stretching)" the muscles before serving would be better if it was made dynamically...
That stretching showed for the forearm (holding hands up and low with the other hand with arm extended forward) is more effective if you hold all the fingers, including the thumb, if for any reason you choose the static stretching.
That movement with wide open arms and making small circles with hands to "activate" shoulders are just GREAT before serving. Gonna use it on my classes!!!
Holding up the stick while practicing the toss is JUST PERFECT!!! The tip of the year!!!
Sorry for my bad English...
Thanks for sharing your knowledge...
thanks Andre
Wow!! Wow yes this is what I was definitely searching for. I will be trying this in 2 days, to aim for a consistent serve and ball toss. I have endlessly gone out to the court for two hours everyday trying to practice my serve but at times I do lose that feeling when it’s just right (I think you might know what I’m talking about) and then I get frustrated. I will be trying this in steps to hopefully recover my serve and be consistent! Thank you great video
cool glad you are excited...good luck
Last serve is my goal...what a serve!
Hello really good on how to get power. Have you ever chopped wood when you have a thick logg try to make your self heavy from the ground then downward. Think of how a kids make themself heavy not to be lifted. Then all is timing. Thanks for free lesson
I've been watching so many videos on how to increase my serve power. I think this might bring me closer to that big serve. I have always been weak throwing a ball, but if I lead with the core driving the shoulder and then the elbow, and finally pronate with the throw, maybe I can do this.
you can do it Jeff
Thanks for the vid. Aren't static stretches bad during warm up?
Great vid!
For how long should I practice each "step"?
Thanks!
Until u Get good! Wtf
the bad habit thing you said reminds me of my coach says ‘practice makes permament’
At 1:00 min you make reference to the top players hitting 60 to 90% first serves. Mats Wilander in his 1988 French Open Final win over Henri Leconte averaged 97% first serves. In the final set he hit 100% first serves!
yes this is the best serve drill from the trophy, so glad he discusses not going into racket too early, wait that split second, that was just one of my problems, relaxing with that ball in the air is still a problem as my swing not nearly as relaxed as shadow swing but getting better, until form is really solid definitely need to not worry about speed as it tightens me up trying to swing too hard. Leading with elbow is a bitch!
I really enjoyed this ideo. I learned a lot that I will put into practice at my next court time. However, I don’t bring my feet together when I serve. How can I make that transition?
top class
That reason you gave about the bucket of balls is why I am here :)
The Turkish Nightmare coaching method is good. Does it contain a stimulant?
You always have the best lessons, they are so easy to follow. Great video!
thanks so much!! I really appreciate that
Took me a fat minute to realize he’s left handed
any drills for the way you hold the racquet/ wrist rotation?
Thanks for the video. I have learned a lot. I wonder what the photo on your tshirt means
What exactly do you mean with snapping late causing to go long? I suspect I do the same. Thanks
I agree, but as a non American I've little idea about the analogies to baseball, grid iron etc.
Who had to pick the balls up that u knocked over? That gets a like by itself. LoL
Certainly not Cam Newton
Simple explanation, that's what we club players need, a simple step by step explanation, plus a whole underestanding on the importance of warm up the arm and brain
Never have I seen such a great video for service
Go and toe!!! I feel I can do the serve now
Excellent stuff!! Extremely plain in the explanation. Can I add something I have noticed ALOT about the 3.5 serve? It's what I call the "Flamingo" serve (you know, like the bird in Florida?:) Many 3.5 servers pick their back foot completely off the ground as they move forward thru the serving motion. Obvious problems here: losing balance and power due to a lack of a solid base as they push off. Would you care to comment on this? I am just a high school coach, but I have noticed this flaw repeatedly. I tell my players that, if we don't break this habit, I will make them wear orange to practice with a contoured beak. Flamingo bird!!! Thank you. Mitch Long
For the jumping...isn't your chest actually lifting you off the ground?
Absloutely top ckass I have every shot in the game except now I am stripping my serve learning Rucj Nassi and peterFreenan top class itsxstep by step it may take me 6 months to have a world class serve but it be worth it got feet right My toss is getting there the elbow extension with kick a bit if pronation it's aboutc3/4 out if ten only a week at it
Great video.
Question for you Pete
I like your view about having a purpose and practicing with a purpose, tho I was lately experimenting with a bit of a different aproach for practicing serves but still slightly similar to yours.
Instead of serving to the same box and working on 1 serve, im actually serving to both ad and deuce side, and im alternating them as if I was serving in a match, with a 2nd serve aswell.
So for example my goal is slice out wide from deuce and slice down the T from ad, so I start on deuce side and serve the slider wide, if I make it I move to ad and serve a slider to T, if I make it I move back to deuce etc...
If I happen to miss a 1st serve then I hit my kick serve and work on my 2nd serve under pressure aswell and then move to the other side of the court.
And I also do counting similar to you, 10 1st serves and then how many I made, and also how many double faults I made out of the 2nd serves I hit.
What do you think?
I've been making my 12 year old son practice serving for quite some time like you outline above. Like you I figured he needed consequences and pressure added to just aimlessly serving. So if he misses his first serve the next serve is a kicker. My son's service action is abbreviated, kinda like as seen at 13:45. Tennis pro Rogerio Dutra Silva serves like this. Is there any point to doing a full backswing? I'm not sure. In my sons
- and my - case, the ball goes everywhere. The abbreviated action has less timing issues and less to go wrong, and I don't think the serve is any less powerful? Andy Roddick had an abbreviated action, and I also remember Andre Agassi serving like that at one point in his career.
@alanx I'm not Pete but I think your training makes sense. its a little more for taining to get match ready I think as this coach's is more into getting a better more fluid motion. What I don't get is why you are hitting a slider but if you miss you hit a kick. Why don't you just curve your slider more? Flat first serves I understand.
@@mikthe2004 Again, I'm not Pete, The reason to do the full backswing is to gain momentum easily. If you have the timing for it, it results in an energy conserving motion. The abbreviated swing is all shotgun. What makes Andy Roddicks serve so powerful is that his shoulder rotates back really far in conjunction with the live arm. So his has more distance to travel in his forward snap. However a lot of pitchers and quarterbacks end up wearing out tendons with this motion and have sergury so there are some long term consequences to the abreviated motion (if you have the flexibility for it). There is also a lot to be said in the weight of the racket you are swinging too as the heavier rackets need a little more coaxing to gain momentum through the ball. Momentum = Mass * Velocity. Agassi is strong as a mack truck. He could probably shotgun that serve at the same speed just by swinging his arm. No legs. I can do both motions but I feel like I loose a little power on the abreviated based on the fact that it doesn't give my opponents as much of a problem. But I don't think my explosion is all that top noch either.
@@dadsfreetimeclassicgaming1220 Hmmm, yes. Like you my son and I can serve both ways, but we don't seem to lose any power with the shorter motion. There is still momentum with the short motion, it's just in a different direction. It's not like you are starting the racket swing to the ball from scratch. In a lot of players the "trophy pose" seems to be almost static, so getting there whether with a full or short motion wouldn't seem to matter? Or does it? Federer and others have a downward backswing, but Nadal and others the swing goes straight back. Sam Stosur's swing kinda went straight up.
Justine Henin had a very abbreviated serve motion, and a decent hard serve, and considering her slightness of physique it does make me wonder how much a big backswing adds to momentum?
Most of the momentum and speed of racket head is happening out of the drop. This is when everything starts speeding up.
Does what happens before the drop matter? As long as you're coming out of the drop correctly to contact, that seems to be what matters most? As you can see, all my question marks means I'm not really sure about anything !! LOL!!
Having said all that, a year ago my son had one of the most consistent and hardest serves around in his age group - including a good kick second serve, but it has not progressed much from that point. So we are going to try the full backswing for a while, and see if we can get more out of it? I saw an episode of Serena's reality show, and her coach was still trying to implement changes to her serve even now!! So anybody can always learn right?
So if you're just long, it means the snap is late, but if you're hitting the top of the net, it means the snap is too soon?
This is fantastic. Wish this guy was't left handed :)
how much you wanna bet i can throw this tennis ball over them mountains
If coach woulda put me in we would have won state!
do you give private lesson?
