As a recreational player I need to learn/fix little things here and there. I search the web all around tying to find how to improve my playing and I always end up at Ryan's channel who covers and explains the little details that make that big difference in my serve and rallies. Thank you, Ryan!
This is just not a video for faster serves. This is a video for serve fundamentals. Everything Ryan says is so natural, organic and sequential. Thank you!
He's really got a very natural delivery yet a thorough understanding of underlying principles. I thought he was kind of a "beginner's coach" at first because his explanations _sound_ so simple, but upon further inspection/audition, he can go to the deep end of the pool without his water wings. Same easy-going, natural speech delivery. He's quite something!
BEST FRIGGING TENNIS SERVE LESSON I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! SIMPLE VISUAL TIPS LIKE THE BIRTHDAY CAP THING ARE THE BEST WAY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
I’d like to add a few comments. I’ve been serving for years with social tennis palms up swing. The first time I tried this I tried to follow all the tips but without the party hat. I found that almost every time there was something wrong with my arm position, just couldn’t get it in the position shown by Ryan. Old habits are hard to kick. Then I dry practiced it at home but with the party hat on. Bingo! I noticed that in order to knock the party hat off your arm and elbow HAS to come into the correct position. Then I tried again in a new session on the court with the hat on and double bingo! It works! The hat gives you the focus point of the whole procedure and virtually corrects everything all at once. Thanks Ryan! The only thing now is to have to try to wean myself away from the hat!
Amazing! Thank you Paul for trying the hat. It really does fix the palm up service motion. Thanks for letting me know you tried it and that it helped you!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
This video helped me a lot!!! Instead of getting about 40% of my serves in correctly I know get about 85% of my serves in. Thanks for explaining it so well!! Slow motion serve (9:15)
Ryan is by far the most elucidating coach I've ever heard. His reasonings are so logical and relatable. I learned more in 5 minutes about the mechanics of the serve than I did in 4 hours of one on one coaching.
This is brilliant teaching. I've played tennis all my life and had some good coaching. I'm now 78 years old. Because of Ryan, my serve is improving. Before Ryan, my best serves were in the high 60s (see what you have to look forward to?), measured with a radar gun. I know what high 70s looks like and I'm now doing it, after Ryan. And I'm getting a higher percentage of un-returnable serves in my doubles matches with mostly younger opponents. So I'm better than half as fast as Kyrgios, otherwise known as half-fast (couldn't resist). Now if I can learn to hit a proper forehand volley (backhand? No problem.), I'll be a much better doubles player.
I watched your video about 4 days ago and I have tried this technique with two opponents and they have both said my serve is a great weapon!! Thanks for the tip that really help, I’m more confident with my serve!!!!
Hello Ryan, i‘m from Germany and watch your channel for some weeks. Your tips are so good and you explain it so perfect. Trank you so much! And you are very sympathic!
I love Ryan’s teaching aides and analogies to other sports, like a quarterback pass, etc. This makes his lessons very relatable and logical. He also breaks the movements down very well, so we can begin to mirror his movements.
I used to have a powerful serve, could spin everything...then when I started playing a lot a year ago, I stopped doing the things you talk about in this video...thanks!! Can't wait to get out there and follow what you're saying. The main thing I was doing wrong was my toss...tossing it too far back makes the serve inconsistent and you lose power. Dude, you are the best instructor. Thanks!!
Good explanation Ryan! I'm learning a lot from you, not only with your tennis masters, but also with your understandable way speaking in English. A huge from Barcelona (Spain)
Hi Excellent video. I'm a 4.0/4.5 level player and incorporate all of your tips except one...the unit turn on my service motion. That is a great tip I will add to my serve immediately. I also use the horizontal elbow/hand position as well. It works just as you explained but I was taught it using a slightly different technique. A tennis pro I once worked with told me to keep the back of my racquet hand pointing skyward during the toss which accomplishes the same arm position and it works just as you point out. The great thing about tennis is you are never too old to learn and improve your game. I'm 76 years old and you just made my decent serve a little stronger.
AMAZING!!! BEST TENNIS LESSONS EVER!!! BEST PRO COACH TENNIS EVER!!! I have seen so many videos learning to serve better and nothing compares to these tips.. I cant wait to test it on court!!!
Wow thank you Bruno!!! What a nice thing to say! So glad you like the videos. Let me know if there’s a topic you’d like me to cover in a future video. Thanks again!!
Wow your instructions are absolutely the most useful instructions I found so far. You really explain the steps well and they are easy to follow! Great job!
11:00 had to sub after this. havent heard an instructor break this down before. such a good explanation and something that all new players should be taught off the go!
Watched two videos on your serving lessons and you already pointed out all my mistakes. Can't wait to go buy some birthday hats and start actually learning how to serve.
maybe the best, to the point video on serve I've seen. I've always wondered about the strings down, racket in front of you position, and always wondered if my racket was too far from my head during tophy pose and drop. now I know exactly what I was doing wrong. thank you.
@@2MinuteTennis also think I have not been doing the arm coiling thing correctly at the end either. I always thought I had to keep the upper body turning through impact. makes me wonder how much more potential I have in my serve. :). I see your motion was quick and continuous like kygrios hitting the ball almost as it's still rising. I have struggled with that and always seem to do better with a slower motion, higher toss... thoughts?
I absolutely love this video. These 5 points for me are all that is required to produce that perfect (and powerful) serve. A real breakthrough concept for me was using (or simply visualizing) the "birthday hat" on my head. In order to get power (as has been stressed to me by various coaches) you must cock the wrist and then generate that wrist snap as part of the forward motion towards contact. But unless the arm is in the correct position/orientation, you will not get the desired result. The birthday hat visualization is such an easy way for the brain to understand this. If you swing in a way that knocks off the hat, the arm, hand and wrist working together will create the mechanics that will generate the perfect service motion. It works!! Thank-you Ryan
@@2MinuteTennis wow, I thought you won't be able to explain it better. I was so wrong. The video you mentioned is superior, simply perfect! Thank you SO MUCH, Ryan!
@@2MinuteTennis I managed to land this serve on the very first serve practice session thanks to your video. ruclips.net/video/lgsJEEpMdUE/видео.html For a rookie like me it looks fantastic, even though I already see what could be done better in every of 7 steps :D
Just working on the elbow position alone helped me tremendously today on day one of practicing serves. If you are moderately athletic this step alone puts your racquet in position for more consistent winners and a more natural, athletic, Brady like delivery. After returning and watching the video again I noticed that I had been serving with my elbow back but was in the vertical forearm position. This is one to watch again and again and work on each important step. Can’t wait for day two of focusing on palm down as well. Thanks for clear concise serve mechanics fundamentals.
This is the best explanation for the serve of all time. I only would agregate another tip about the toss with the arm straight at constant speed, without pushing, and waiting up to maintain the armony of the whole movment. Congrats from Colombia.
Hey Ryan, your videos with the birthday hat, made my serve at least 50% more continuous also much more faster and better placed !!! Thanks for your super detailed and funny natural presentation! Keep it up, Ryan ;-) Greetings from Magdi
Rayan, thank you very much, I think it's the best serve lesson I ever had, it puts together all the puzzle pieces together that I have collected from various pros over the years. They all were right, however, this is the most comprehensive and detail-oriented demonstration and explanation I ever come across. Thanks again.
Holy crap, the birthday hat tip really works! I have a more compact serve, more consistency and power. Thank you! Tip: I was too lazy to buy hats at the dollar store, so I made my own hat. How: using a 10-12" dinner plate as a template, you mark & cut a circle of thick paper (yeah, a few thicknesses of notebook paper stapled/taped together will do) make a cut from an edge to the center, form into a cone and staple together. Staple a length of elastic cord or linked rubber bands to opposite edges and you're done.
thank you very much for the tip for ball toss, this bother for 15 years, i had a bad ball toss , i believe i have good serve but bad ball toss, i wish more people listen to you for the ball toss. thanks again.
wow, tried this afternoon, serve against the wall. Finally, after all these years, I grasp the concept of coil. I can tell the serve is very much crispy rather than me muscle over with the arm! And, less effort and get the feel of a whip motion. You are amazing Ryan! I also made a little adjustment for myself , I purposely swing my body to the left a little bit before I coil and swing my body to the right . I found at least for me , it is much smoother. What do you think, Ryan? Still working on the toss, it is still goes up and down, not forward. Again, Ryan, you are amazing, to the least, the best fit for me among all other youtubers.
Wow thanks Joe! What an amazing testimonial. As for the coil, what we helps you to play your best I’m all for. Makes total sense and I can see how it would actually help smooth out the moments. Great stuff. Thanks so much again!!!
Man! you are good. I've been trying to do this for *decades* with various coaches. I have the classic push/waiters serve - bane of my life. Can't wait to try this out.
Btw be sure to really focus on the third tip...when you left your hitting arm have your elbow pointing back, strings down, and tip of racket pointing to the right of the camera (I assume you’ll film yourself to make sure you’re doing it correctly) 👍 good luck!!!
Stay away from "Fuzzy Balls" and all the other hacks out there with nice colors and camera angles...This guy actually teaches the science of the sport, and knows proper swing mechanics. He's helping the sport, those others are hurting the sport.
Wow thank you for the support. Glad you like the content. Just trying to help recreational players improve and enjoy tennis more. Thanks again for the kind words my friend!!!
Oh man, this is so perfectly explained. I have so much problems with my shoulder rotator joint (hope that‘s the right word in english) called impingement and I always supposed, that‘s a cause of a wrong coiling movement of the shoulders and arms from the „high position“ to the ball. And now I think, I‘m absolutely right. I didn‘t have this move with first the racquet over the head and this deceleration of the shoulders towards the ball. It‘s more a tensed throw of the arms only towards and through the ball without coiling or at least a wrong timing of the coiling, if you know what I mean. This clear explanation will help me a lot. Thanks so much and regards from Germany. Great coaching.
Hope your shoulder get's better sounds very painful!!! We post tennis videos and if you have spare time would love to hear your thoughts of our tennis videos and support us :)
Great tips. I always heard elbow up but never saw it this detailed. I am going to try some of these tomorrow. Two more serving tips that helped me are: keep the tossing hand up almost pointing at the ball after the toss, and to really focus your eyes on the ball as you hit it.
1 tip- forearm horizontal to ground elbow enemy 2 tip- start with contact 3 tip- shoulders to the right before coiling 4 tip- hit birthday hat on back swing 6 tip- left hand waves to camera under right arm 7tip - toss ball into in the court to move in
Thank you Ryan! I put it into practice today and putting the racquet on the ball helped me a lot. Also the way you coil. I even managed two aces for the first time. Cheers from Madrid
The last tip. Quite true. But now that you mention Thiem, he uses that accentuated tossing arm ”back swing motion” in serve warm ups. The idea must be to ”awaken”the rotation of the upper body needed in the slice serve which often suffers from the emphasis on the power of the serve, especially the ”arm brake” mechanics which halt the (over) rotation (too early). Slice serve can be tricky. Anyways, great tips, all of those 5!
Another awesome video. Here's how I'm going to remember it 1) toss a rainbow 2) elbow the enemy 3) knock off the birthday hat 🥳 4) check right arm pit smell
Thanks for the vid.,it is great. I tried to serve with your tip "birthday heads off",and it is working, the serve became more faster and stronger, very cool tip, thank you. Today i'll try the rest of them
I have to say, this is probably one of the only serve "lessons" which I actually find incredibly valuable... all points discussed are based on actual principles which are backed up rather than some random research
Hey man, thank you so much for this video! I recently watched this and it clicked in my mind the serve motion I should adopt (hitting the party hat). Thank you for your contributions!
@@2MinuteTennis Well I’ve been trying the full shoulder turn and the palm down for a while. So I want to focus on combining this with the toss into the court. I have a tendency to release the ball behind me too often and serve long. So I’m hoping this will counter that. Thanks again
Hey Ryan, great tips. I have been working on my serve since I started playing about 6-7 years ago and am always trying to improve. Some of these tips I have heard before and have worked on (Coiling, knocking the hat off etc.) However your tip on the toss was a real eye opener for me. I had heard about how your tossing arm should be at 45 deg. into the court, pointing at the net post etc. I had always assumed the toss was meant to go vertically up and down about 1 foot - 1 1/2 feet into the court, in line with the hitting shoulder. As a result I struggle to keep it from going backwards (because the ball goes in an arc, but its going from front to back) and although I am moving into the court when I serve I often feel like I am hitting the ball too far back. When you said that it is good to take the ball back with the racket and toss from behind the base line into the court, that was like a light bulb going off for me. I can't wait to go the court tomorrow and try this out. I feel like this could be a missing part of the puzzle for me.
Thank for your tips and tricks! Naturally I'm not a tennis player but I play volleyball and my serve strong, but not stable. I find some I do right and some I do wrong. Best and short video lessons! Very useful!
This video is GooooooD !!!!! Excited to try these out tomorrow morning. Knock your birthday cap off, i had heard several times, but was not able to implement... But tip number 3 will be a game changer i think.

I absolutely love this video. These 5 points for me are all that is required to produce that perfect (and powerful) serve.
A real breakthrough concept for me was using (or simply visualizing) the "birthday hat" on my head. In order to get power (as has been stressed to me by various coaches) you must cock the wrist and then generate that wrist snap as part of the forward motion towards contact. But unless the arm is in the correct position/orientation, you will not get the desired result.
The birthday hat visualization is such an easy way for the brain to understand this.
If you swing in a way that knocks off the hat, the arm, hand and wrist working together will create the mechanics that will generate the perfect service motion. It works!!
Thank-you Ryan
Love your simple and creative way of explaining. Makes sense and clicks with me. Well done..
Long take and not boring at all

It‘s more a tensed throw of the arms only towards and through the ball without coiling or at least a wrong timing of the coiling, if you know what I mean. This clear explanation will help me a lot. Thanks so much and regards from Germany. Great coaching.
Hope your shoulder get's better sounds very painful!!! We post tennis videos and if you have spare time would love to hear your thoughts of our tennis videos and support us :)

I have to say your class is the most feasible and pragmatic tennis drills ever thank you so much !!!
Wow thanks Ethan. Really appreciate the kind words and support. Have an awesome day my friend!!
thanks Ryan for your selfless share of your tennis wisdom with us through your Channel and i am wondering of how get your magic equipment ~
This helps me a lot with my racquet lifting properly when my toss arm goes up. Love the hat thing. Gonna practice this
I’m so glad to hear that!! Thanks for letting me know and good luck!!!
Great tips. I always heard elbow up but never saw it this detailed. I am going to try some of these tomorrow. Two more serving tips that helped me are: keep the tossing hand up almost pointing at the ball after the toss, and to really focus your eyes on the ball as you hit it.
Very usefuls advices amzing content (GG WP!!!!!!)
There is no better coach than Ryan ……………..period If you want to learn the game of tennis in the Quickest way possible then he’s your guy !!
Wow thank you Greg. So glad you find the videos helpful. Appreciate the kind words my friend. 🎾😊👍
@@2MinuteTennis I want to sign up for your lessons
I’d love to help you!! What stroke?
1 tip- forearm horizontal to ground elbow enemy
2 tip- start with contact
3 tip- shoulders to the right before coiling
4 tip- hit birthday hat on back swing
6 tip- left hand waves to camera under right arm
7tip - toss ball into in the court to move in
Thank you for the tips from Korea.
Thank you Ryan! I put it into practice today and putting the racquet on the ball helped me a lot. Also the way you coil. I even managed two aces for the first time. Cheers from Madrid
The last tip. Quite true. But now that you mention Thiem, he uses that accentuated tossing arm ”back swing motion” in serve warm ups. The idea must be to ”awaken”the rotation of the upper body needed in the slice serve which often suffers from the emphasis on the power of the serve, especially the ”arm brake” mechanics which halt the (over) rotation (too early). Slice serve can be tricky. Anyways, great tips, all of those 5!
Thanks Jack. And I know what you mean by the warm up serves of Thiem. Problem is people copy THAT and don’t tuck. Thanks again!!
Another awesome video. Here's how I'm going to remember it 1) toss a rainbow 2) elbow the enemy 3) knock off the birthday hat 🥳 4) check right arm pit smell
You are such a amazing teacher! 👍 👍 👍
Nice you mentioned A.Rod . He was the player that came into my mind when i saw your arm / racket pararrel to the ground tip! Great tips. Thks
Thanks for the vid.,it is great. I tried to serve with your tip "birthday heads off",and it is working, the serve became more faster and stronger, very cool tip, thank you. Today i'll try the rest of them
I have to say, this is probably one of the only serve "lessons" which I actually find incredibly valuable... all points discussed are based on actual principles which are backed up rather than some random research
Hey man, thank you so much for this video! I recently watched this and it clicked in my mind the serve motion I should adopt (hitting the party hat). Thank you for your contributions!
so glad this video helped you Daniel. And thanks for letting me know!
Such brilliant tips from Ryan! I have issues with serves on the ad side and that's because I didn't coil away from the court. These are powerful tips!
Absolutely brilliant! Can’t wait to do tips 1-5 exactly as shown! Thank you!
Wow thank you so much!!!
Hello Paul!
Thank you! My daughter will try to USE those 5 tipps today at competition.
Thank you Ryan - sooo good. Wish I'd seen this years ago!
So glad to hear you liked the video! What tip in particular are you most excited to use?!
@@2MinuteTennis Well I’ve been trying the full shoulder turn and the palm down for a while. So I want to focus on combining this with the toss into the court. I have a tendency to release the ball behind me too often and serve long. So I’m hoping this will counter that.
Thanks again
Good job Ryan, excellent demonstration and explanation, thank you.
Hey Ryan, great tips. I have been working on my serve since I started playing about 6-7 years ago and am always trying to improve. Some of these tips I have heard before and have worked on (Coiling, knocking the hat off etc.) However your tip on the toss was a real eye opener for me. I had heard about how your tossing arm should be at 45 deg. into the court, pointing at the net post etc. I had always assumed the toss was meant to go vertically up and down about 1 foot - 1 1/2 feet into the court, in line with the hitting shoulder. As a result I struggle to keep it from going backwards (because the ball goes in an arc, but its going from front to back) and although I am moving into the court when I serve I often feel like I am hitting the ball too far back. When you said that it is good to take the ball back with the racket and toss from behind the base line into the court, that was like a light bulb going off for me. I can't wait to go the court tomorrow and try this out. I feel like this could be a missing part of the puzzle for me.
I am going to try this tomorrow. Thank you from Bogota, Colombia
Awesome serving tips Ryan! Very impressed with your YT vlogs.
And to think I spent an entire life time making the mistakes you pointed out ! Thank you !
Love your tips! One of the best explanations I've seen! Thank you for your job
Hands down the best serve tutorial on YT!
Very easy to understand with simple words!
Great video Ryan, pls share a video on how to correct chronic waiter serve problem and correct the muscle memory
Your videos break everything down so well! Now I just need someone to break down violin/viola vibrato with the same accessible approach
Hahaha good one.
Let it sing!
Thank for your tips and tricks! Naturally I'm not a tennis player but I play volleyball and my serve strong, but not stable. I find some I do right and some I do wrong. Best and short video lessons! Very useful!
Well done! Very comprehensive and concise!
Hey thanks so much Barry!!
This was a great video and has helped my on my journey to Wimbledon
This video is GooooooD !!!!! Excited to try these out tomorrow morning. Knock your birthday cap off, i had heard several times, but was not able to implement... But tip number 3 will be a game changer i think.
