Tennis Serve Lesson: How To Create Racket Control On The Ball
John Craig, USPTA Elite Professional, discusses how to CONTROL the racket on the serve all the way through the contact zone.
The grip in the serve setup, it relates to the racket face on contact. The reset of your hands is important because the wrist you have at the beginning of the service motion is very similar to the point at contact. This relationship can help you find your motion to contact. With the serve, you must feel everything is smooth and clean. After the trophy position, there is a lot of racket dorp but you should not feel like your racket is fidgeting around a lot. Your shoulder should help you feel how your racket rotates into contact.
Your racket face, for the most part, should still face your target on contact. Great long axis rotation on the serve will also help your racket control on the serve. The racket comes on edge and then rotates into contact.
Play less with the wrist and forearm, and more with the long axis rotation to contact.

The serve simplified and made look practical, nice work Craig ❤
Thanks for making it so simple. Nor complicated to have a steady rhythm.
Thank you, Kumar! Of course you have made comments on many of videos recently. I would like to hear your overall feedback on PPT vs. other RUclips coaches, etc. Thanks, John
Good teaching .
Thank you! Best, John
John - your videos are pure gold. They have helped me fix my serve after years of playing and struggling to hit consistently, and accurately, it is finally clicking after watching your videos and trying to fix serve on my own. It is working now.
I hope you offer clinics on the serve and other strokes and play (after the pandemic), that I can attend.
Edmon Begoli Hi Edmon, Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so pleased that my instruction has helped your serve! Keep up the great work and update on your progress! Kindly, John
@@PerformancePlusTennis Will do. Please let me/us know if and how we could attend one of your clinics.
@@EdmonBegoli Hi Edmon, I am thinking of offering a two clinic event sometime next year. If you are subscribed to my website (and I hope you are!), you will receive all notifications, plus more lessons and content. Thank you! John
You're a good teacher! Thanks for the instructions.
Thank you so much! Kindly, John
Thank you for your concise tips on the serve fundamentals. Your emphasis on stability and controlled movements truly simplifies the serve in a helpful way. Your approach played a pivotal role in improving my serve power, control, and, most of all, smoothness!
Thank you so much for comments and sharing your experience with my instruction. I am so glad to know that I have helped you! Best regards, John
Excellent communication.
Thank you so much! Kindly, John
Great lesson, thank you very much!
Thank you so much! Kindly, John
like the simplicity wich makes the % hitting the box much higher.
Simple is better! Thanks Olaf, John
Your a ledgend john
HI John, Wow! Thank you! Best, John
I am not good at serve but I have just seen material that we need to make our elbow up when doing swing before swing the racket to contact point.
Hi Ricardo, Very good point. The elbow will lead the racquet to contact. Thank you, John
Great tip! Thank you!
My biggest problem with the serve is tossing the ball too late, giving my racket too much time which causes major glitch, grip change etc. Any suggestions to have a standard Ball Toss? You could give me a million dollars and it wouldn't change my current motion. I can do a great service motion with my racket without the ball all but incorporate the ball it's chaos. I do have a fair to good 3.5 pushy serve.
Mastifffriend Here is one lesson that will help: ruclips.net/video/NPLajGi84UU/видео.html
Mastifffriend I also have another video on the ball toss, here on RUclips that will also help. Keep me in the loop on your progress. Thanks!
Thanks, I'll look at them later and let you know what happens.
Could you please break down serve steps and explain them in a video?
Rasoul Mojtahedzadeh Hi Rasoul, I offer a free lesson on the serve in our library of key fundamentals. This lesson will provide you with a great overview. Just opt-in by clicking the link in the description area to gain immediate access...thanks!
“And you’re not just guessing or hoping to control the ball” yup that’s me sometimes hehehe
Thanks Jack! Kindly, John
The control should be enhanced by a firmer grip/wrist setting also in the serve motion, less so with the power part as it is the case with all strokes of tennis, more or less (less maybe with BH slice). There are thus two main types of ATP serve motions as regards the wrist: The spaghetti ”westerns” who use a loose wrist like cooked spaghetti and thus add the whip effect and power into their serves; see e.g. Monfils, Karlovic and Hurkacz, maybe Nole ( still). The other camp prefers a firmer wrist thus presumably achieving greater control/accuracy in serving. I think that is the main reason the characteristically loose Mr. Roger Federer isn’t that loose in his serve grip. He is more known of accuracy and placement, superb control in his serve than of its ultimate power and speed. Go figure. Study the serve in your own biomechanics and become a master of the craft.
Good observation and comparison, Jack. Please keep in mind that I WILL ALWAYS lean to the basics here on RUclips...focusing on the fundamental skills and concepts that will enable the majority of viewers to receive useful information to build from.
@@PerformancePlusTennis Sure, John. I must add now though another observation. There might be a correlation (positive one) between the platform serve and the firmer type of serving grip; also, the platform serve might be more accurate while this increase in control costs a respective trade-off in power as compared to the pinpoint serve. Thank you.
@@jackquinnes Great comment, and I believe you are correct. But at the end of the day, I will take the accuracy over the marginal increase in power. Thanks for your interest in the channel. We have more interesting videos coming, and welcome your input!
Performance Plus Tennis- Pro Tennis Lessons Accuracy and control always over single-minded power obsession for me, too. Roger is not that bad model for priorities here either. - Let’s see what you are gonna come up with in your next vids. Curious and interested.
Not sure I understand what you mean “long axis of the shoulder”
Hi Michael, Thanks for your great question. It simply means the pronation is coming primarily from the entire arm rotating from the shoulder vs. the wrist as is commonly believed.
Let me know if you have additional questions.Thanks, John
@@PerformancePlusTennis Thanks so much for reply. Really like your teaching style. Great videos
@@michaelshadler292 Thank you, Michael! Kindly, John
