Pretty good serves, but as a tip, your body is moving well left afterwards. That's something I used to do. I've found that it helps your serve when your body is moving forward and it gets you more balanced and ready to continue the point.
you arc your back and loose balance a bit. and lean back instead of bending your knees and going down before the jump. keep your balance centered before contact and land more forward not so much to the left. start with feet a bit closer together
yup that's right, good advice. I've been tossing more forward recently, and my serves have gotten much better. Actually it was an accident when I was experimenting with serve & volley. Anyway thanks to everyone who mentioned the toss!
you should toss more in front of you, into the court to generate more speed. Also, bending your knees will help a decent amount. If you had a smoother service wind up, I think it would also improve your serve in the long run.
dude... theres no body weight transfer... its all arms... you might wanna work on body wweight transfer... it makes your first serves more powerful...
Good 2nd serves, but what questions me is why would you toss behind your back on your first if its a slice. If you toss more into the court you could get more speed which is what you would probably want. For the 2nd serve I think it looks fine. Consistent and reliable. Overall a good set of serves.
bend ur knees, it looks like ur about power and speed, so toss more in front, ur throwing high and back which is more for kick and slice, and those are mostly for 2nd serve
dont fall sideways, your toss should be out infront of you, giving you momentom to go forward aftering serving the ball, which will add more power and consistantsy
Great serve and power, but remember your balance, you don't want to fall over, so throw the ball higher and forward instead of the side. It looks you are trying to kick it but never on first serves.
its ok to do that, wait Blake does it and he serves very well. i have a world class serve and when i hit flat I ussualy toss it in front but when i play provincials, i toss it virtually like djokovic right on top of my head, and its very unpredictable wich serve i'm going to hit.
id say you should bend your knees, when i serve i bend them i a little bit, i really start bending the knees when my arm gets tired tho, it really helps. and about the toss, thats a good kick serve toss, but for a flat and powerful first serve, it needs to be straight up and a little bit in front of you
um..ur losnig ur balance, try throwing the ball straigh tup where ur hand is when ur throwing it up, and a foot in the court and a foot away from ur hip, cuz ur right arms reach wouldnt be over ur head, itd be to the right of ur body, so that means the ball should be to the right of ur body so the racquet can contact it and hit it at its apex
Your toss sucks and is limiting what you can do with your serve. It's behind your head, which shouldn't be done unless you hit a topspin serve or a kick serve, and they obviously aren't. Put the toss into the court, and in front of you. You are falling over for your toss, taking away the weight transfer. The knee bend is your choice, but a good knee bend can do wonders.
yea throw the ball in front of you and in the court, not over your head because you're not doing kick serves, and also try making your whole motion smooth, you're pausing then waiting for the ball then hitting out of no motion, its like throwing a ball, get that motion and dont pause between
i find it weird, at the top of your toss before you hit, it doesnt seem like you bend your knees enough. you might get more out of the serve if you try it, but its wahtevers comfortable with you
a lot of ppl fail to do the legs and torso motion correctly. these can only be learned over time.

Your serve bears some similarities to Gilles Simon in the way that it's a no frills motion but an effective one.
Keep it up.

no knee bend at all! you would be crushing those if you use your lower body and really get up to them
hopefully you've incorporated some form of knee bend into your serve by now :)

yo make sure your toss is closer to your forhand side. You wont be able to really let your swing out unless that happens.
