Aside from your excellent teaching skills, the most amazing thing about your videos is that you rarely…rarely!…say Um or Uh between sentences. So clean!! 🙌
Love the shout out to Ryan @2minutetennis a brilliant coach also! Fab Stokke! Yes I struggle with that leg drive so working on that. Like that time about keeping your left arm up!
Coach I developed an opposite approach to serving, I can serve the ball so slowly that You can time my serve with a sun dial! Hahe just joking this video was amazing and I practice my serve at least 3 to 4 times a week and I will definitely try your advice Coach thank you!
@@StokkeTennis I will Coach, my next video I will let people know about your channel and I will try to practice like you taught in this video. I am not that tall of a guy I am around 5’7 and I use my legs and just recently I got a Wilson Blade 98 and I had it restrung and I am starting to get used to it Coach, I recently started missing my best serve which is a slice out wide on either side and I am just missing my second serve sometimes by literally inches because I keep dropping my head, so I started using a kick serve and coming in behind it, because I play a lot of doubles. The competition varies between 3.5 to 4.5 players, but I used your technique on the flat serve and I got a few aces down the Tee, but I am missing out wide, it’s a good thing I am a laid back guy and joke around on the court or I might have started using earmuff language. Hahe I am going to the Courts today and hit a few hoppers of tennis balls and get back in my rhythm. I am also playing better doubles from your advice on covering the middle and I made a few easy poaches off the strategy, I also made a few guys miss returns because I faked the poach. I love playing doubles because it’s so many different strategies and it’s really fun to play against all levels of players because they all serve differently. I am so happy I started playing tennis again and I am training really hard to get back to a 4.5 player. Thank goodness I have a good return of serve because it’s tough running around at 52 years old my friend.,I am taking ice baths a few times a week because my legs are so sore from playing tennis and working. Thanks again Coach for all your great advice and teaching methods.
Any tips on how to consistently toss out front? I"m actually a pretty good server in my group of players, but I think my toss isn't consistently out front like you note in this video. I think I've really just practiced bad technique, I'm good at hitting a bad toss and I muscle it with my arm. Probably time I start to work on a more efficient swing and a consistent toss.
This one is from one minute tennis. He said that imagine there is shelf above your head and a little bit to the front. You are tossing your ball up to stay on top of the shelf. If that makes sense. You are not just tossing it upward. You want the ball to ends up on that imaginary shelf. This helped my toss a lot.
I feel like I do a pretty good job with pronating on my serve, especially on the 2nd serve. 2 things have been happening to me in the last 5+ years. When I’m pressing to get more spin and moving forward to get to the net I’ve pulled my right groin muscle several times. When I reduce the leg drive and rely more on my arm it alleviates the groin strain but aggravates my inner elbow. I use 2 different racquets. A prince 03 Legacy 105 for more power and spin. When my arm hurts I go back to my old faithful, a prince graphite thin bean mid size. Easy on the arm but lose some power and spin. I like the pop of the legacy but I break strings a lot so they have me using a poly hybrid setup. I think my arm doesn’t like the poly. On the graphite mid I use a synthetic gut. It last a bit longer but I still burn through strings. Any suggestions on how to preserve my arm? So frustrating. The serve is definitely one of my strengths when the elbow isn’t aggravated…
@@microphonemaster484 believe the exact quote was “close to 100”. If I had to out an exact guess I’d say 94. My max as a player was only 125, right now I’d say my max is 110 land
@@StokkeTennis you can hit at least 100mph for sure, but that doesnt mean you just touch the ball with any slow swing and you get there right away with your first 2 serves of the day! Get a radar and you'll see you've gotta put in a bit of effort to get there. Those were bellow 80mph.

Based on the thumbnail of the video I was expecting a tip on the elbow 😮🤔
Your elbow gets there in the palm down motion 👍
@@StokkeTennis
Oh never thought about that. Palm down indeed guarantees that elbow position but elbow position doesn’t guarantee palm down.😀 Nice 👍
The problem with not taking the racket down early enough is that the tossed ball comes back quickly down

2:39 You are delusional thinking that was a 100mph serve. Try 70mph max, get yourself a radar and stop dreaming.
@@microphonemaster484 👊
I got 97mph on the second one.
@@marktace1 Yeah, it's 97mph because he barely moved, if he really decides to slap the ball and even get some legs in it's an easy 140mph
