      @@melinakerifan that's perfectly normal and probably happens to every other beginner that tries the continental grip for their serve. You're on the right track though! If the serve is going crazy to the left then make sure at impact your strings are facing the front. To do that with a continental grip you must pronate. (research that in the tennis serve) It takes from practice but we all start with that frying pan grip and learn to serve correctly! Good luck and enjoy the game.

    • @sfowler1100
      @sfowler1100 2 года назад +4

      this is very debatable... A the club level there isn't that much difference using the continental compared to the eastern grip. More over, most players are weekend warriors and do not feel comfortable using the continental grip. It does produce a bit more of a slice serve on the Eastern grip then Continental so that adds control. If you're just out having fun playing once a week and not striving for anything over 3.5 The Eastern Grip is just fine. At this level getting the ball in is the biggest priority and consistently. Most beginner players pancake the serve, so they don't hit on edge anyways. :)

    • @SamKwakWorld
      @SamKwakWorld 2 года назад +1

      @@sfowler1100 I agree! that's why I was curious to see how Venus was gonna teach this audience. I'm assuming it was geared towards beginners. Using the correct grip and technique is very hard for beginners to get. Sometimes the pancake grip serve is the best way to gain confidence getting the serve in and playing tennis. Teaching tennis is not easy! So many factors come into play! lol

    In one take, Venus covers all the basics clearly and precisely, explaining the reasoning for everything she does. That’s not easy to do. I’m sure she’s gotten a lot of coaching, but hasn’t done much teaching herself, so she’s a natural at it. What a nice person she is.

      Yeah, and she doesn't joke around but also tries to appeal to all skill levels. She made an ice cream simile/metaphor, but it wasn't some joke to get popular. Everything was just smooth all the way through just like her serve.

Serena did a wonderful job. I'm not sure if u know how to play tennis, if u do, I'm not sure how any of my word is anything close to trolling, if u even were referring to me in the first place. Unclear. Regardless of ur point of view, Serena did an amazing job in the video.
