Tennis Serve- Topspin Serve Technique

[EssKayPrince]

Top spin toss left and behind the head? uh no.

[slatz20]

1:15 foot - fault ...

[azhardsg]

i think the top spin serve moves more in the air

[azhardsg]

thanks for the tips..I got the top spin serves spot on today and I was able to deceive my bro with my new serve ;)

[LegoAustralia]

Hey kman thanks so helpful :)

[bowense7en]

He says racket face goes left to right but that sounds more like how I slice or in the reverse for a twist..

[quyentd1]

helpful. thanks!

[Matthew9818]

Topspin and slice is really tough for me to learn! Can slice out fairly wide but the only one I can do well is a big flat serve! Shame thought cuz slice and topspin is more of a skillful serve I feel!

[BL4CKR0ZE]

I still don't understand the notion of "brushing up on the ball." :/it doesn't help me. 80% of the time when I try to think about it, I hot the rim. Any pointers?

[BboyLancelot2]

@BL4CKR0ZE Try using your wrist more!

[BL4CKR0ZE]

@BboyLancelot2 Lol I'm totally like just replying!! >,< Thanks :D But yeah I figured out my topspin serve awhile ago and actually while I was practicing it at my local court I noticed in videos how the wrist moved and I mimicked that and it toally helped me be more consistent ^^. Its snowing now though where I live now -3- so I need to find some indoor courts to play at. -_-

[BboyLancelot2]

@BL4CKR0ZE ouch. Good thing Texas doesn't have the same problem eh? Lol, glad I could help. The wrist motion is important in many things like serves, smash, onehand backhands, etc.

[AncientFuzzball]

this really is helpful..and im just still work ing on the basic serve ! ! !

[tanuzajy]

would be really helpful if i could get some tips for the return of serve while playing doubles. when i get very strong serve, i often can not do enough cross court and the opp net payerd kills it immediately. is there any tips for returning top spin and strong service returns? thanks.

[RhysMiranda]

I love the tennis videos. It helps me improve alot! Thanks for the vids. ;)

[Green34Destiny9]

You can tell this video isn't recent, read the description and I'm sure now most of us ARE better than Blake.

[ThePacemaker45]

tell that left hander to stop doing foot faults in all the videos!!

[ThePacemaker45]

Scott is the best player in these videos!!

[cobrajonny]

Hi mate, just wondering how tight i should have my strings? Im an alround sportsman with very good coordination and i like to hit the ball pretty hard...cheers!

[loudon96b]

this helped thanks

[ERICruz15]

i actually taught this myself without watching any tutorial videos lol. i never a top spin serve ever existed until i felt stupid seeing result videos on youtube -_-"

[olydream3]

thanks so much! i feel that i am a better player already :)

[JohnSoapMactavish]

very helpful thnx....

[OhMyGochu]

if you press 3 and 4 it makes it sound like it says shut up lol

[s40817j]

@OhMyGochu press 3 and 8 and it says shut up also

[NojesOmega1942]

@intosport Will you do a twist serve video in the future?

[GTVSR123]

thanks but i wish this video would com in HD

[Denoheatwave]

check out mt channel for cool roger federer videos

[thetennisguy100]

great video. and you have people who are good on there unlike some vids

[aimfreakify]

how come i hit the frame sometimes and it flies oout?

[mindlesshadow]

I am a beginner to tennis and your videos really helped and improved my tennis play drastically. Keep uploading great videos and thank you so much! :))

[patronus2]

this vid is the reason how i learned a perfect 2nd serve, thanks for it

[koreanman113]

@noobsdumb you're supposed to hit the ball when it's fully extended

[markwhitek7]

Thanks for all these Helfull wideos,

and have a request to add some more new videos like the one uplouded

cheers.

[noobsdumb]

should you hit the ball at the back and go up the back of the ball or are you supposed to hit it at top?

[Wejad2O]

very nice vid, i got some confusion with my topspin serve and this give me some faith that i can improve ^^ thx a lot

[infilt]

I have one question. In table tennis top spin shots usually bounce lower than normal, not higher. Is it perhaps the difference in materials that makes a the balls react differently?

[122333pls]

@infilt spin is the same in tabletennis... if you put backspin you'lll see it goes lwoer, and if you put topspin, it goes higher

[aznboi1398]

I just learned this serve and i can say my second serve will always go in no matter what because of toppin

what helped me was the toss has to be lower then regular and flick your wrist down after you hit the serve

[narutoiscool94]

What are the exact racquets you guys use?

[xHowAboutYouSTFUx]

Nice serves but those are almost all foot faults.

[xHowAboutYouSTFUx]

Nice serves but those are almost all foot faults

[kabwalt]

at 1:41 im pretty sure the serve on the left is a slice serve.

[botakchee]

I just learned this serve two days ago and it bounce quite high.:)

[thejacobandjason]

and his follow through isnt helping.

[thejacobandjason]

this guys technique is horrible. his back is already completely bent after contact. and hes moving left after contact.

two very bad habits.

[TheLeilisa]

will i grow taller if i play tennis regularly ?

[orzen13]

nice to see people using dunlop :)

[aznboi1398]

I need a beast kick serve

[cys12141]

his serve is very very low.

[jonhas1]

Please, kickserve...

[jenniferanistonnude]

Esportas better than David Lloyd

[plstrom]

it is still an open discussion if yu move the throw of the ball that much..

[Allaboutthemojo]

Great video. Thanks for continuing to share so many tips on the internet. I have a couple of questions. From my trophy pose when i take the racket back and come to swing at the ball, i notice that i am not swinging too much on edge and sacrificing racket head speed and the reason i don't feel confident in doing this is that i have trouble pronating in time. This hurts me in two ways. less racket head speed and too much hurt on the inside of the elbow. Any drills for mastering pronation? Thanks!

[lolita123ish]

Teach me the Top Spin serve now.

[XxNewPharohxX]

YEA THNX VERY MUCH

[pararesis]

ive worked very hard on my kick serve out wide on the ad side, and i have alot of trouble getting good power on my kick/topspin serves, and they also fly off my racquet going long and bouncing high with low power. do you have any tips?

[didiertrailethegreat]

good vid

[OreosRG0od]

I finally realize why I kept screwing up my top spin serve lol

[paipaulo]

O vídeo nos ajuda muito ao praticar este esporte.

[RasGas90]

still can't get the serve right :(

[myethanluke]

helped me alot... thanks

[JordyWilson23]

im doing a biomechanics assignment for school, and this has been really helpful. thanks!

[dt9001]

really helpful thanks

[intosport]

@dt9001 glad it has helped :)

[HyunwooWC]

@intosport what is the difference between a topspin serve and a kick serve?

is the serve portrayed in the video a topspin serve or a kick serve?

[TheMasterSOAP]

everytime i try to do this my ball goes WAY over the line... there is A LOT of spin on the ball but it just goes way out... i am left handed by the way, can someone please explain to me how i can fix it were it will go in, instead of way out?

[7daniel49]

@TheMasterSOAP try throwing the ball infront of you more, if its into the net dont throw as far infront of you. my coach helps me with that.

[O0otenniso0O]

this is the most helpful vid on youtube for tennis thanks :)

[intosport]

@O0otenniso0O Thanks very much for your comment. Glad to have helped!

[O0otenniso0O]

@intosport your welcome and just on question do you think i should also practice tossing the ball so i can get used to the serve action

[7daniel49]

@intosport i definitely agree. two things thought, slow down the comparison between flat and kick and play at different times so i can watch both of them. and you hit on this, but it was hard to understand. how you create the topspin on the ball. the part when your elbow is extending, just for easier understanding. thanks, great video!

[noobsdumb]

@O0otenniso0O these vids are awesome but fyb2007 is also awesome!

[m0n0m]

No one ever telling, do we have to relax wrist when serving and doing forehand or you have to keep your racket firmly in your hand ??

[trungngongoc]

Interestesting lesson. Unfortunately, I've just got a minor injuries in my knees, Poor me.

[intosport]

@trungngongoc Hope you get back to full fitness soon to enjoy more tennis.

[trungngongoc]

@intosport : Thanks for your message. I am getting better now, my knee is not sore but it takes more time for full recovery. I am going to practice again on nextweek

[beahoggie]

@trungngongoc nobody cares faggot stop whining for attention

[macedonianBLOOD17]

y did everybody have dunlop???

[kentaonex1231]

@macedonianBLOOD17

probaly sponsored

[MegaMrlong]

Notice how they don't mention why you should toss the ball more behind you and not in front of you unlike the first serve in which you do to get more power.

[AtlantisArch]

@MegaMrlong "behind you" means in your back, not behind you and the net. a kick serve is a must in double for service-volley move and the ball must be played just in your back but between you and the net to allow u to get in forward motion during serve. this is not a flat serve, u dont put ur shooting arm/shoulder forward as u serve

[Toucheay]

bullcrap at 1:00, the racket should be a little bit more to the right for more spin. This is because if you throw the ball in the air, you like kick it alot much forward than with the other one.

[tobiashar]

I also just use the topspin serve! after the ball contacs the other t-field side it jumps very high and so it is more difficult for your opponent to play it back!

[Narutogo747]

cool!!!

[dannypizarro]

the girl is foot faulting - instant loss of point if it is a second serve.... lot of wasted coaching money as DL is expensive - she needs a new coach or jsut stand back further behind the line!!!

[hattrickster33]

These are good videos but in my opinion the topspin serve is much harder to get right consistently than a slice serve and shouldn't be used too often, especially on big points. It might be more likely to go in than a flat serve, but the chance of messing it up is bigger than with a slice serve.

[butteryfingas]

I love how everyone keeps saying that rafa's dominant hand is his right hand in tennis but obviously if he has been playing for soo long with his left hand, then his left hand is his dominant hand

[ryanandcallum]

not being funny guys but what happened is that rafa is right handed and his uncle who coaches him taught him to play left handed what means rafa will have a very good backhand.

[BUBBAJ1010]

1:15 foot falt

[CrackyMoss]

@BUBBAJ1010 Spelling fault.

[PCwizGURU]

@BUBBAJ1010 spelling FAULT

[KimboRamboFin]

@BUBBAJ1010 Actaully it's not. If you pause the video precisely when she hits the ball, her feet are still in the air (I know your comment is over a year old, I just had to say it anyway).

[magicchef]

@KimboRamboFin she steps on the line before she strikes the ball. so, foot "falt"

[medsoluk]

@BUBBAJ1010 Spelling fault

[tom1234510]

@BUBBAJ1010 you stole my idea...

[xXxWontonxXx]

wow really? so lets settle this... rafa is both left and right handed...kay? geez

[attybong]

@xXxWontonxXx he uses his right hand when he writes

[ePiCsCenEzZ]

@xXxWontonxXx rafa is right handed naturally but plays with his left.

[Alexpandork]

maybe hes right handed Rafa but he fucking plays better with hes left hand im sure of that cause who the fucks plays with hes non-dominant hand in pros -.-

[timeF1ysBye]

@Alexpandork rafa's dominant hand is his righthand, but his uncle made him switch to his left hand so stfu

[Alexpandork]

sure sure probably hes better with hes right hand thats why he plays professional tennis with it fucking TARD use ur brain

[Alexpandork]

he plays with the left hand cause hes better with it

[timeF1ysBye]

yeah... correct urself dumb shit

[jflaksdfh]

yeah cuz he plays with his his non dominant hand to give the other guys a chance....fuck off you stupid retard....try thinking for a change

[GueorguiJoukov]

@Alexpandork

He would simply not be able to play a professional game with his right handed hand because he spent the last 15 years playing as a left handed.

[JTazz44]

you really are a Fuckin Retard, he started out playing with his right, but switched to his left straight away, anyways Federer finished rafas career, rafa beat him at wimb and Aus, but federer was cruel, he made him play 4 hour finals and worked his Knees to a pulp, Federer with 16 slams now is uncatchable, in My book Roger Federer ended Rafael Nadals Promising career, he is a crock and only a great clay champ, Federer mastered every surface, AMAZING roll on 17

[JL6293]

Everybody loves the David Leoyd vids... Well I do, anyways.

[jsm832141]

OMG THank you guys. Thank to this video i now have the best consistent serve in my league which is this the topspin serve and 6 months ago i learned it from this video. So useful thanks again :).

[craack100]

foot fault at 1:14

[ShuyuKoukin]

@bleachfob OH YOU CARE!! YOU CARE REALLY MUCH!! you're not being honest with yourself. you even gave us the time he made the foot fault! XD

[kuyapogidaw]

this a great video. thanks!

[y11971alex]

I have problem putting pure topspin on the ball, annd my topspin serve is more like a slice/topspin serve.

[GreatestCreation909]

let the ball drop a little more before hitting it. That way you wont swipe alot of side spin.

Also, don't toss it so far behind you, otherwise you end up with the twist a.k.a kick serve.

[roflzorcopter]

finally mastered topspin serve. i had to bend my legs a lil bit more =]

[foreverguga]

Also watch Gaston Gaudio or JC Ferrero's 2nd serve on youtube, they have the best top spin serves for claycourt tennis

[GreatestCreation909]

no nadal? He hits topspin everything. just sayin.

[foreverguga]

@GreatestCreation909

yes but Nadal's spin serve is only based on a huge biceps. His serving technique SUCKS. He's totally out of balance and doesn't even use his body weight to the maximum.

[GreatestCreation909]

true. but imagine if he used his right hand(dominant hand) to play tennis. he could possibly be way better than he is currently.

[ArkAngelHFB]

not really... rafa's back hand power comes from the fact that he hits a twohanded back hand using the power in his dominant hand...

it's like swing a baseball bat... think about it... the back hand sure feels more comfotable when the dominate hand is on top...

[GreatestCreation909]

What I mean is, what if he played with his dominant hand. So, all his forehand shots were right handed, serve right handed. More power, more spin, more control.

He could possibly be better than he already is which is scary because he is already #2 in the world.

[bla200389]

rafas dominant hand is his left. ^^

[AsianBaskero]

hes actually right handed but he uses his left

[lostmarxbro]

I bet you could return his serve

[pandamoller]

thank you so much for the vid super helpful

[intosport]

thanks ;)

[chrisplayaa]

u can use a different grip for the kick serve too...

[honkiemarge]

no because a differnt grip will put more spin on the ball :)

[1337SFpro]

this serve is so hard

[wowstefaniv]

I am still learning this serve but its hard since its much diffrent then slice and flat serve

[896423658]

this serve is the best serve that you can create.

[xxx0ox0]

Helps a lot you guys are good this video and another helped me learn how to do this serve

[zuser001]

This video not only teaches you the fundamentals of the kick serve and the advancements after the fundamentals, it also offers unique angles of observation for a more complete learning experience. 5 stars. Good Vid!
