HOW TO SERVE 100mph
Hi, and thanks for your video, there is a huge gap between my ground strokes and serves. I tried everything but it seems it is turning into almost a brain block, if I send you a video would you be so kind to give me some tips?
Thanks a lot
@@amirmotahari6186 hi
I am totally going do some of this.
Great video! I've been playing more than 40 years and have heard many of these concepts before but I think this pulls them all together. Listen to this guy because this is how you serve.
Thanks again. Appreciate you saying such nice things about the video. Have a great day!!

Ryan, you are one of the best tennis coaches I've seen and your explanations are clear, precise and easy to follow. As always I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much Tim. You’ve commented many times on my videos and they’ve always been kind me supportive. So glad you like my teaching style and videos. Thanks so much!!
Of all the channels I follow, this has to be the channel that I was able to take the tips and easily apply it to my game and see improvements. With that being said, I would like to start a petition to change the name of the channel to birthday hat tennis.
That made my day Nhia. Thank you! Haha that might be a good name for my channel you are correct!!
All_A_Asian has signed your petition
Hahaha so funny. Thanks!!!

Excellent lesson. I’m a 4.0 and have always struggled with my serve it seems. Have had many pros look at it but no one has figured out the problem. My legs and upper body was always disjointed. But that little tip about extending legs as racquet is about to pass over my head was the key (for me at least). Just played with this in mind and I was bombing my serve. Thank you so much!
Magnificent advice!! I'm amazed at how good you are! Thanks a million!
Wow thank you so much!!!!
Brilliant progression with your explanation of the many movements and biomechanics, including the leg drive. The Bday hat idea is superb! Subscribed!
ruclips.net/video/C-SwDAAgZVc/видео.html
Wow! This was very clear for some of us who have had trouble understanding when the leg drive should actually happen. Some players instinctively understand when the leg drive should happen. However, this video really helps understand when it should happen. Very grateful for these tips.
i just started tennis again after squash for 30 years!! great teaching.
it is not about how hard one hits it. you are right on.
it is techniqiue thanks a bunch
I don't think this got my serves to 100 yet but it did get a lot faster than before. Now I need to make it in consistently. Thank you for the tips
All very Super-Essential, Super-Fundamental elements of the serve stroke! Very useful. The one MOST important tip that you did not discuss is ELBOW INTO THE BALL. I call it Elbow-To-Elbow: elbow from all the way "back" to Elbow-Into-t'he-Ball. That is the single trick that helped me to understand and actually implement the correct serve, along with Birthday Hat. Birthday Hat is part of this "Elbow-to-Elbow", or Elbow-into-the-Ball motion. In other words, to rephrase, the elbow goes as far UP into the sky as possible. It is very natural move, but it is very "strange", or "unusual" for beginners, Counter-Intuitive.
You are correct. A drill I do with my students is I have them start with their elbow back, toss, and then bring their elbow forward snd have the ball drop onto their elbow. I’ll include it in an upcoming video. Thanks!!!
Great steps on having a great serve thanks for all you work
Hope these steps help you Sol!! 👍
Amazing lesson! This is pretty much what my coaches taught me as a junior. Still how I serve today and I find this method also allows for changing up your serve (kick, power) without altering the base movements a lot.
Thanks helpful review of the serve for me with some added prompts re delay the bodies action as I do when I throw a ball. I can throw a ball along way just not able to fully transfer that power into the serve. I serve right handed and play all my other shots left handed so the feel in my right arm is not as good as my left. I am predominantly left handed and footed but throw much further right handed. Useful now as I get older as I can spread the wear and tear etc of practice and playing to both arms .
Wow,,, very intelligent explanation!! Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you Ken!! Appreciate it.
@@2MinuteTennis I am really happy to find this incredible video. I will keep watching and adapt to my practice.
Excellent tips
best serving tutorial ever
Great instruction.
Thanks so much Keith! Was there a tip or maybe two that you think will help you the most?
@@2MinuteTennis I've always been very strong physically but have a moderate serve due to a stiff motion. Your instruction is going to help me to loosen up and get my racquet into the path of motion and looseness that will help me get more out of my serve with much less effort. I can't wait to work on it. Thank you for taking the time for us in need.
So glad to hear this instruction will help your serve. If you have any questions please write them in the comments and I’ll reply as quickly as I can. 🎾😊👍 Thanks!!
Nicely done. The only thing missing is instructing on pronating at contact vs. the karate chop serve.
Brilliant!
wow thank you so much Steve!!!!
I will definitely try it tomorrow at practice
thank you am trayning now and its work
Excellent points, Ryan! But I have to disagree about the function of the legs and, specifically, the so-called "leg drive." If you look at your video around 10:45 you will see your legs straighten as your non-dominant arm drops. The question is: what is the connection between that arm and the legs straightening? I agree with Florian Meier of Online Tennis Instruction who says that the strong dropping of the arm and the force of the forward swing propel the body upward. It is not the case that the server straightens the legs by applying force to them. Could you improve throwing a ball by jumping up with your legs as you go to throw it? I think the answer is no; doing this would even weaken the toss. I think this is the same phenomenon as hitting a powerful forehand where the body leaves the ground. It is the force of the forward swing that propels the body upward and not the player who is using his legs to jump upward.
Hey thanks for the question George. The purpose of the leg drive on the serve is to stretch the shoulder back more during the racket drop. When you drive the legs while the racket is dropping it moves the body up as the racket is dropping. This means the racket drop becomes deeper and stretches the shoulder back more. That mimics a catapult being stretched farther back or like stretching a rubber band back farther than then flinging it across the room. When the racket comes around on edge toward the ball it’ll have more upward/forward speed and strike the ball with more force. It’s why the leg drive must be timed correctly. In summary, the more your shoulder lays back the more it stretches and snaps back (or in this case “forward”) and produces more racket speed. Make sense?
As Vic Braden taught 40 years ago, leg drive accounts for about 6% of serve speed. That’s means if your serve is 100mph without any leg use you’ll be able to serve 106 with proper leg drive. That’s a big difference and makes it more difficult to return for the opponent.
@@2MinuteTennis Thanks for your reply, Ryan. I agree that increasing the shoulder stretch adds power to the serve (by lengthening the racquet head's path to the ball). But it seems to me that uncoiling the torso does that, in conjunction to dropping the arm--or more accurately, pulling the arm down and into the torso. This strong downward motion creates an opposite force, namely an upward springing of the body and straightening of the legs. Perhaps there is some intentional straightening of the legs as well, but it seems to me that if most of the upward motion of the body is due to intentionally strengthening the legs then we lose a lot of the energy from the torso's uncoiling and the strong downward pulling of the non-dominant hand.
Excelente técnica
Do you pronate as much on the flatter fast serve as you do on a slice serve? Is there a difference in body positions?
Danke
Very good 💪👍💪
Great stuff, thanx!
Amazing
In reality for most club players this seems to be unachievable. Been watching loads of top college players being recorded on Swing vision and very few obtain that speed. Guess it has to be a perfectly flat serve to gain that speed?
Hi I am 17 years old and 5 feet 10 inches tall. How fast do you think I would be capable of serving? Also these didn't look like 100 mph. They looked more like 85 mph
You’re right. They weren’t 100mph. I filmed this at 5:30am on a Saturday morning because my teaching Schedule is so full that I have almost no time to film. I didn’t have time to warm up my body/shoulder/arm. But if you follow what I taught you will be able to serve 100mph. I’m 42 years old, when I was 23 my fastest clocked serve was 117. Age and lack of playing time catches up and eventually you can’t serve as fast as you used to. My fastest serves now are 103mph.
@@2MinuteTennis I think I might have hit 117 before. The ball took 1/3 of a second from my racket to the court and it pummeled the fence waist high
Keep hitting my head 🥲
Haha be careful!!
Came here to brag about how I can hit a 100+ (up to 120) mph ball without needing to use this technique...
Only to find out I'm using this exact same technique described here... Guess he knows what he's talking about LOL
My second serve I use Kick but my lower back hurts me so much I don't no the problem it hurts me in the left lower back any help please?
Lower back will hurt if you over rotate, too much hip. Try less hip.
The correct unwinding sequence is from low to high: hip, shoulder, arm stretched, wrist snap.
You can practice all four elements separately then put them together. If you are older and/or have hip or lower back pain, don't swing your hip around. Instead practice more open stance (abbreviated serve).
A tennis coach in Utah showed me abbreviated serve, 80mph without trying. Very easy on the body.
Hth
Not kidding. Not bragging. I served 120 back in the late 70’s. I used a head competition racquet that was my dad’s. While in a group lesson at Tam Tennis Club in the northern burbs of Chicago there was a young girl practicing with her coach on the next court. While we took a break Our coach (Bob Maramba sp?) was talking with her coach. I was shocked when he motioned for me to come over. He turned to the young girl and told her if she could consistently return my serve then she’d be able to handle any woman’s serve she faced. I spend the next half hour or so playing against her. I remember so clearly that It was like hitting against a wall. She returned everything I could give her. Her name was Andrea Yeager. That’s my tennis brush with greatness! True story. Another observation, Ryan’s service style looks EXACTLY like mine did. It’s like looking at a video of myself. I only wish I had some video of myself back in the day. Unfortunately, no one in my family was much of a photographer or videographer. Fun to watch!
Nice nostalgic moments
Great.!
This is truly one of the best serving lesson I have ever seen!!
Wow thanks Eric. Appreciate the support. 👍
Marvelous video! This is the remedy for my humble serve that I been searching for more 10 years. Nobody told how to serve more precisely than this instructor. Thank you.
wow thank you!!!
Most clearly articulated and demonstrated serve lesson I’ve ever seen; thank you very much! I’ve just subscribed to your site.
incredible advice! really great serve tutorial! Hard to believe he did this in one take!
Thanks Ivan. And I do the vast majority of my videos one take. To me it makes it more like a real lesson. I just like to push record and start talking. :) thanks for the support!!
I really loved the way you explained this in such an easy manner, something I haven't seen anywhere on the internet. even though I wasn't able to serve 100 mph, my serve speed has increased with better accuracy. thanks a lot for these tips.
Great video. The looseness is used by Federer in his warmup. Doesn’t worry about the line at all. Just serves super loose.
This is the best freaking serve video I have seen yet, thank you so much Ryan! I’m already excited to get back out on the court. My waiter’s tray has been fixed with a more over head ball toss (as opposed to out to the right), and the birthday hat technique! I love the way you explained the snap, and the overall looseness of your body and arm. I’m still a bit guilty there lol. Thank you for your wonderful videos, cheers!
Wow thank you so much Zachary! Appreciate the support. Hopefully my other videos are able to help you as much as this one! Thanks again!!
You are one of the first channels I’ve ever seen that teach tennis in a easy to digest, non-dry & boring manner. Bravo.
Wow thank you!! I love teaching and I’m glad it shows!! Thanks again and if you have a video topic you’d like me to cover just let me know!!!
@@2MinuteTennis Will do, I definitely have an idea. 👍.
Seeing the birthday hat maneuver showed me that I was serving with my elbow in front of my hand instead of behind it. Need to try this on the court ASAP.
9:00 body opposite direction of arms
14:30 summary
The visual with the hat is brilliant! And the explanations on improving specific parts as well as putting it all together was so good! Thanks for the great quick lesson, can’t wait until I get to apply it on the courts🎾
Ryan, your tips are the best ever! I've been playing 53 years and am learning every time I watch you. I'm only 77.
Well Peter first I want to thank you for trusting me to help you with your game. And if there’s a topic you’d like me to cover just let me know. Have a great day!!
Wow another a+ video. Your such a talented teacher and amazing athlete!
Thanks so much! Appreciate the continued support!!
My 3 year old watched this with me and asked “ Why did he remove his birthday cap?”
Haha very cute. 😊👍
excellent video on serving. Thank you very much for these helpful tips. I will go and practice these and see how these improve my serve.🙏
So happy you liked the video!
Forget all the.emphasis on the leg dip/ leg drive, etc. Most all of it happens naturally from a proper coil and uncoiling process. assuming you coil to the side and remain on balance - which is made easier mid you strike the ball to the right or left (depending on whether n you are left or right handed) and don't toss the ball too far forward or behind you.
As you note, the coiling & uncoiling process on the serve is the same as on the FH - assuming you coil & uncoil the core. You are storing and releasing energy from coiling & uncoiling your core. And you can store more energy if you bend your knees a bit and rotate your hips a bit (while staying on balance), but not excessively so.
You aren't in a jumping contest; you are just releasing energy from uncoiling the core and transferring it to your arm & racket head. Since you are exploding up to hit the ball above your shoulder you might come off the ground a bit, but it should be natural & not forced.
Back when Poncho Gonzalez played you weren't allowed to jump into your serve. You had to have your toes/ foot still touching the court on contact, but Gonzalez & Lew Hoad & Arthur Ashe, etc. all had great serves and plenty of pop/ power & spin just from the basic coiling & uncoiling of their core. In fact, I'd argue those old school players had more fundamentally sound serves because they had to generate their power from the coiling/ uncoiling process rather than thinking that they were supposed to generate power by bending their knees & jumping up and into the court.
Thanks for the comment!!!
I will go buy a birthday hut tomorrow and experiment your tips.
I had been happy with my serving till I played in a club championship full of advanced players yesterday.
They could easily hit my first serves back. On the other hand, I straggled to break their service game.
Good luck and keep me posted on how the bday works. Stay patient. It’s not a miracle. It takes time and persistence. Thanks!!!
This is Great but this a bit too difficult for me. Maybe you could do a video with a eeliable basic serve for senior players say 50-60 with less demands on co-cordination ability, just an idea thanks good stuff
ruclips.net/video/C-SwDAAgZVc/видео.html
Good vid there Ryan. I will try the bday hat swing next time. Any suggestions on how to avoid hitting your head? The head of the racket looks pretty darn close to the back of your head. : )
ruclips.net/video/C-SwDAAgZVc/видео.html
Great video! Some way to measure/show the speed of these serves would make this lesson even better! Also filming the whole action from above, by using a drone, would be fantastic, imo.
great coach! thank u for making me get easy tips for serving in.. . from S.Korea / THANK U AGAIN^^
So happy to help you. Have a great day!!
The coil-uncoil parallelism with the forehand body movement is awesome! And many recreational players neglect coiling when serving, while they do it perfectly when hitting forehands!
Does one go straight down when bending the knees or does the left hip thrust towards the net when the knees bend?
Hip should naturally go out from the coil/knee bend. 👍
I'm a 4.0/4.5 self taught player, been playing 4 years, and the main thing holding me back was my serve. I played yesterday and tried the palm down/birthday hat trick (with an imaginary birthday hat), and was amazed at the difference. I didn't even have time to really practice it, I just started using it in my match, and it felt natural. My opponent, who I play against once a week, was also amazed at my improved serve and noticed a major speed increase.
ruclips.net/video/C-SwDAAgZVc/видео.html
Hi Ryan. Thanks for the tip. I would just want to ask where would be the contact point with the ball be when serving. I noticed that the racquet path is not above the head but on the right side of the head. Is this serve style good for flat and slice serves only? Thanks and more (serve) power!
Yes this toss placement is perfect for slice and flat serves. Topspin/kick needs to be over head. Thanks so much!!
This is the best video I’ve ever seen. You’re the best.
thank you so much!!
Growing up I was blessed with what my coaches (from other sports) would refer to as having great sporting biomechanics, being able to play any sport that involved hitting something, and I had this amazing knack of just being able to copy the movements of my favourite tennis players around Sampras, Agassi era. I taught myself how to hit every tennis stroke (including serving like in this vid) just by simply watching Sampras play on television lol. I'm 36 now and sadly I could never breakdown the skill and explain how to teach it to my children so using this amazing breakdown of all the different movements involved with the serve will definitely help teaching my younger ones, love the birthday hat idea! Thank you!!!!
I’m so happy this video will help you teach your children. For a more complete review of the serve try this video. It’s a serve lesson I made for an online student. A-Z review. ruclips.net/video/Ggwb3C46CsA/видео.html
so if i don't get to hit 100 MPH, then do i get my money back ?? i currently serve around 80-90 MPH, for the 1st serve that is.
Work on these ideas and your serve will increase in speed. Keep me posted how it goes for you!! Thanks!!
@@2MinuteTennis Ok i will. but i am bit afraid that if i hold it too loose, i will have racket fly straight into the ground after wrist snap and i will break the racket. I have broken 4 rackets this way during hot summer with very sweaty hands in the past
Even though you say variations of the same things each time IT NEVER GETS OLD. I can’t wait to implement all of this! How much does it cost to send a clip of my servers to ya?
Wow thanks Justin! Really appreciate the support. So private zoom lesson where I work one on one with you to fix your serve is $87. You choose an hour that works with your schedule. You can learn more/book your spot with me at onlinetraining.2MinuteTennis.net. Let me know...!
@@2MinuteTennis thanks Coach! I’ll keep in touch!
Great video/advice! I can tell you've been trained by Steve Smith! There's nothing like a Great Base!!!
100% correct. Steve Smith trained my coach growing up Jim Klein down in Tyler, TX. Appreciate you noticing. Thanks for the support Carl!!
@@2MinuteTennis It's always a pleasure to support those who do it right! Keep up the good work!
Absolutely AMAZING value in this video, Ryan! Other instructors have good tips for individual elements but you put it all together and provide ways to self-check sequencing and timing of elements in the serve. Thanks!
i'm a beginner WITH a 100 mph Serve LOL will this vid get me to 130? (i just started playing 6 weeks ago) I entered an open tournament last weekend and it was funny as hell when people who have been playing 20 + years just got completely FROZEN by my forehand grip serves *when i got them in...around 35-40%) If i hit a spot by accident they don't even move and if the serve is close it's on them as they are trying to move.
I won 2 of 5 matches 2 matches went duece but we were playing NO AD and I lost every duece game :(
Ryan, you've helped my server a lot. suggestion. maybe had a side view for this as well so we see the forward ball toss? thanks
Maybe this video will help you! ruclips.net/video/Z-OaWdiAeZo/видео.html
@@2MinuteTennis that was good, but I was thiking more of a split screen so you get both at the same time with the same toss and follow thru. thanks again
U are the best coach on RUclips!! Are u in the USA?
Wow thank you! Yes. Near Philadelphia. But you can take zoom lessons with me on 2minutetennis.net
Birthday hat tip is one of the most creative ideas to date....
Thank you so much Venkata
Ryan, excellent video and tips! I've been a uspta pro for decades, and this is the biggest request. One quick question - you appear to make contact at the apex, but (as students comment) the motion is quick/toss was as not high (with that moment of stillness) before accelerating upward. Comments?
Hi Ryan, would you be able to do a video on a topspin serve? Btw this was a great video for improving my serve. Thanks for making such an awesome video!
You mean this? ruclips.net/video/q2Ed594fNjQ/видео.html
Thanks for the support!!!
And this video as well! ruclips.net/video/WiubMAoW3OE/видео.html
Thanks Ryan! Good morning from Sydney Australia 😊
WIll give these tips a shot Ryan! Thanks !
Thanks so much Peter!
Hi thank you for this vidéo. I am very impressed by the quality of your teaching skills
Do you recommend players using hammer grip to switch to continental? Do all advices in this video apply to hammer grip? Can it help to hit flat serves? My flat serves always have a slight slice effect.
Congratulations again. I feel like investing in a birthday hat! I m just a bit afraid people will make fun of me or think i am crazy!
Even at the tender age of 67 - will be trying this out to up the serve speed - great advice - very well explained
Ryan, you are great. In so many serve videos you are able to add some additional elements. Today the loose movement and the knee banding were great and are so important. In addition I like the imporance of the coiling at the beginning. It was wonderful that you compraed it with the start of a forehand. I think this is so important as it directs the ball throwing and everything else. I noticed that before the coiling you make yourself loose as well by doing small relaxing things. I like this. By the way I finally got 10 birthday caps today---my wife couldn´t believe it until I showed her your video(s)...:-), Oliver from Germany
Ryan, I have just subscribed your channel. Thank you for delivering a high quality teaching.
Wow thank you!! My goal is to be super helpful for rec players wanting to improve their game. Thanks for the kind words!!!
The "Whip": sound was quite authentic 👏😇 jokes apart, very nice tips to implement.
Haha thanks!! Glad you liked it.
Pretty useful and easy to learn
if you dont have a jump in your serve and its not bad, but you think by jumping like the professionals you might get more speed, but have to redo a lot of your serve, is it worth going back a couple steps?
Yes. You can always go back to not jumping if you decide it’s not for you.
@@2MinuteTennis wow quick response, thanks!
No problem. Keep me posted. Don’t exaggerate the jump. A little bit does the trick. 🎾😊👍
Why do you have such a fast service motion?
It’s how my body naturally does it. 😊🎾👍
Omg! This coach deserves so much credits. One of his videos worth 10 of my private lessons!!!
So happy to hear that. Thank you for the kind words!!!
Your face resembles Flula Borg, sometimes you make balls appear in your hand like you are a card magican and you are teaching such valuable lessons. Those videos of yours are so well done, great explanations, simple tipps. Love it!
Holding the racquet a little lower not only helps you loosen up. It extends the radius of your swing which creates more racquet head speed. Simple physics!
Wait, where is the, “You got this!!”???
This video was made a LOOOOONNNNGGGGG time ago. I didn’t say it back then. 😊
Can you please come to CA and guest instruct? You’re really the best at breaking things down and teaching the fundamentals!
I have a great shadow serve that's total fluid but as soon as a ball is involved I get a terrible glitch, even switching grips. I tried the birthday hat to no avail. Thinking about serving lefty, get lessons right away which I didn't do righty.
Sorry to hear this. Can you send me a video of you serving? I can help!

Incredible instruction, each step makes so much sense! How does this have 106 thumbs down👎?! C’mon people!
Simply genius explanation of how to serve like Federer which I am trying to emulate for many years. Now I am more excited to play tennis this summer season and win more games. Thank you Ryan, you are one of a kind in the tennis universe.
The birthday hat is genius!
Omg, after the first great tip you gave I was like there's no way I'm going to learn something more in this video. I'm really suprised, I've seen and been told a lot about service techniques but I never had this approach before and I've been struggling with my serve. I'm really loose when I play tennis but when it comes to the service I'm really nervous and inconsistent and tight. This video makes me look at it in a different way. I'm sure it's going to be usefull and I can't wait to use your tips. You got yourself a new subscriber! Thanks a lot !

How old are you bro ? Do you plan to go to pros ?
@@tennispack6225 lol
@@queldom I guess this means no 😂
This is how the players I know serve 100mph. with the loose whipping motion. I am still using the stiff "power" serve and not all that fast. I will have to teach an old dog new tricks and correct my serve.
Good video. HOWEVER!!. Most pro servers do not rotate their core as much as u advocate. shoulders open too soon.
Hey thanks for the support. Two things: 1. Most pros would benefit from cooking more. 2. Amateurs usually have zero coil, so showing them this much coil gets them to at least coil a little bit. 👍
@@2MinuteTennis tennis is wonderful and what you say is awesome. The serve is hugely complicated as you know. I had a guy look at my serve. He added 10 to 15 mphs to my serve immediately by having me stay tighter in more core, come up over the top with less body rotation. and had me make sure i had that snap in my wrist when i contacted the ball. baseball pitchers push off the back leg and have less shoulder rotation for the most part. If I hold my weight down and the push up and over, rather that rotate my shoulders, that is when i get up to about 110. Not good enough for pros or d1 players but enough for my level. Cheers sir. you have much good to say and teach people. There is the push vs. pull discussion of serving. Those who push up tend to be players like serena and kleisters and most male players. the pu[[ers tend to be people like venus and sharapova. Barty pushes up off her back leg. play well everyone. !!!
@@2MinuteTennis I want to commend you for the discussion of the tossing arm and its importance to serving. I became dissatisfied with my serve in the last several months. Keeping the tossing arm tucked against my body has gotten me back to the pace, bite and kick of serve i want. TY!!!!!!!!!!! LOL I was opening my shoulders to soon again. Keeping the tossing arm tucked as long as possible has me going up after the ball again rather than rolling through the serve motion. well done sir!!
This is a lesson and a half, next-level service by far!
Wow thank you so much!!!
Great video. Federer bends both of his legs in the air because he is balancing his whole body from leaning to left too much. At times, when one is exhausted from deep in the games the body gets tired. Therefore, the body flpps around when serving. Second reason of legs bent is the whole body stays fixed in the air so the arm can do the heavy swing like a pendulum.
Thank you so much great teacher
So happy you liked the video.
It all sounds very sensible and logical but there's so much to remember, I can imagine this causing "discombobulation" during the swing.
i tried this. I have a big bump on my forehead now :(
Sorry to hear that!! Keep working on it slowly with shadow swinging and you’ll get it right!! 😊🎾🍻
Just started watching this guy's videos today and find them helpful. But he has the same flaw in his service motion that I am trying to get rid of. Any guesses what it is?
This was 16 minutes, not 2 minutes.
Haha you’re welcome. I like to give more than expected. 😊
