[tweedleberry44]

LOL OMG EVERYBODY WHO READS THIS POST THUMBS UP I JUST FOUND SOMETHING HILARIOUS! TURN ON CLOSED CAPTIONING AND TRANSCRIBE AUDIO! IT"S FREAKIN HILARIOUS! THUMBS UP!

[scbaldwin13]

That basically sucked. He was exaggerating all of the motions. The serve is supposed to be very fluid and relaxed.

[gb92kdy]

he looks like a blonde noel fielding 

[superrams97]

Nice serve

[0021bhavin]

ha that was fault. nicely done lol.

[farstarfilms]

[mnopqrstuvful]

I have never played tennis before but planning to start...should I take professional classes or can I just tennis on my own since the classes are pretty expensive where i live ??

[glishadragana]

[airindia16]

[TheWHSBasketballer31]

George Bush on Tennis :D

[Strawberrysunset23]

[TheFlaknNator]

[drewsky684]

Dude needs a surfboard not a tennis racket.

[djayflip]

FAULT!

[victoriaa19851990]

hes kinda cute :))) <333

[x3u93n3x]

I think they made the video to practice English.

[chowding1234]

whats the tune at the end????

[rehabboy01]

He has a huge gay back swing !!

[vampiro230]

Great, video...Keep the hard work..

[b000mshank]

This is obviously a fake

[CamDudeYouRok]

he klaughed when he hit that god awful serve...gahh terrible

[mountaindewslave]

lol the guy shows you how to serve and then at the end when we see him do it he hits it onto the wrong side of the court LOL

[hypercarbon]

jeans on tennis court = win

[jpsetti]

4:05 ?????

[Tortoise239240]

its continental not hammer grip

but really nice vid

[shadowclaw9100]

@Tortoise239240 continental and hammer grip are the same damm thing.

[kkssw]

Pause at 2:01, just found it funny, lolz

[FoamSD]

3 things wrong with this

1. You do not have to bounce the ball

2. He isnt gripping the racket for that serve

3. ALWAYS START WITH TRAY TECHNIQUE

[tenishotshot]

@FoamSD

Right. You do not have to bounce the ball. However, people do it to begin their stroke and to increase their concentration for their serve. For instance, Djokovic bounces the ball more for more important points. But yes, when learning the serve, bounce is not needed.

You're right on about the grip. What the hell is this hammer grip, this guy is teaching? Continental grip for the serve, everyone!

FoamSD, what is the tray technique? Is that the same thing as the "Platform Serve"?

[gravedigger02]

That's NOT a good serve AND that's NOT how you should learn a serve... Sry man, but you got a bad timing...

[JillAnderson]

fag

[TheLilPlane]

He missed with some meters at 4:04 :) he ain't that good + he looks very gay yeah =)

[MrSatanochio]

you can`t teach people how to serve ... on youtube. it`s not like teaching people how to make lasagna.

[theelitenumber1]

No, it's not called the hammer grip, it's called the continental grip. Also, his stance is wrong and the person in the video doesn't know how to spell "actually" right. His serve didn't even go in!

[mssheltn1]

This is a great video but if one really wants to learn how to properly serve then all he has to do is watch Serena Williams' slow motion serve.

[tenishotshot]

@mssheltn1

Yes! Serena Williams has one of the best, classic service motions.

[thestuffiknow]

this is weeeeeeeird

[sherataylor83]

ha! favorite part is 4:04 to 4:08! I love the reaction from the coach!

[elefanculo]

You should understand how to serve yourself..how can you think about teaching it...Worst technique ever..really!

[hugopelle]

that's funny how you don't stop braging about the right technique and stuff, but the serve the guy hits is like 3 meters out

[gretscher]

Great instructional video. Thanks for posting.

[2knowfun2]

If you want to become a GREAT MATCH PLAYER go to my channel ( 2knowfun2 ) and watch two videos: World class tennis (part1/2) and (part2/2) . My two videos will teach you how to become a great match player... my two tennis videos have covered pretty much everything that is important in tennis...from "how to hit high quality groundstrokes" to "match play"... Everything important about tennis is compressed in my two tennis videos... Watch and become a Great match player

[zannazone]

i think he's kind of cute

[wpgd5w]

you should rename the video " how to break your neck when you try to learn others how to serve" xD

[MarkandLloydmusic]

Proper out serve

[hinahira]

hahahaha he spelled actual wrong!!!!!!!!!

[lightpeacelove9999]

this is stupid!

[vampire43k]

Umhm he didnt hit it in the box you fail.

[terryschutte]

the title should be changed to "how to not do a proper serve"

[sk8rg0at]

I got better lessons from the guys playing in the background.

[ThePajoru]

That SUCKED!!!

[kouterken]

wel that sucked xD

[antonis198]

the video should be called ''how NOT to perform a tennis serve''!

[antonis198]

YOU SUCK!!!

[tennisbutts]

what a joke video plus his "serve" went 8 feet fucking wide!!!!!!!!

[kawi3000]

yeah, serve the ball then walk right into no mans land. cause that's what all the pro's do right.

[kousseye155]

that fag can't serve worth a shit... aside from the foot fault he might wana try getting the serve in the service box..

[sendhelpbaylon]

what the qwan is a hammer grip!? i think you mean a Continental grip bro.

[picksboy]

The hammer is more on the butt of the racket in the continental position. This gives a bit more leverage on big serves. I'm so massively strong I can big serve with an eastern backhand. LOL

[Dkooler1]

hammer grip no what are you kidding me that will mess you up don't use the hammer grip

[trepo99]

muy mal video

[meknownothingatall]

not the greatest how to video in the world but dam you gotta love his shoes(i think they're adidas barricade V) try watching videos from FYB2007's channel or somethin, they're better at teaching you the technique, in my opinion anyways =]

[CJjumpers]

the ball! Was FOLD!!!!

[spongebob2556]

there r no ppl on youtub\e that can actully play tenis unless they r taping sumthn off hte tv they r al ppl who think hey r great but who can even be bothered watcheng them when we can watch the pros

[tennisrox4444]

@spongebob2556 and how good are you???

[thegamblinglord]

he sure looks like a tennis pro, but i guess, he's really not. Fault!

[larsfish]

Can you say 'foot fault?'

[FuzyConker]

you toss the ball and your racquet stay down you dont toss and bring ur racquet up u get less speed like that

[THEISJ90]

kind of 3 meters out ^^

[Millemilax2]

n00b

[CJjumpers]

fold!

[lesliekwan80]

fold? wrong game buddy.

[Calvin19244]

3:45 looks kinda gay

[jamhiereus]

What an ace!!!

[dovalenano2]

2:45 hehe

[pashtoonprince]

speak up poof

[podge325]

SPEAK UP

[canuckclint]

put your volume up..it helps!

[BlackButterflyxo]

thanx.!!

[Nicholaswu1987]

Um I rated down because his real serve is nothing like how he teaches it. Pay attention to the direction of the racket in the lesson then in his example. Stupid.

[007toft007]

4.06 LOL

[krimsanavenger]

speak up shit baller. Seriously though nice video.

[jjwesten]

Ace! haha

[jasonjarvis1988]

lol when devo started playing

[Quigs10190]

I don't know if you guys can notice but the person on the other court at 2:00 has a huge ass back swing!

[orange879]

holy shit!!

haha!

i would love to see that guy play!

i bet its hilarious to watch in person!

[slydkid]

it didn't even help, really bad forehand. It would be funny to see, you're right

[davo614]

ROFL

[swedenkidd]

haha yeah when you say it xD i can see what a huge back swing he does ^^

[jamhiereus]

Well pointed!! Ha, ha, ha...! Even Dominic does it better with his serve!

[porromilo]

@Quigs10190 hah, true true

[dorker1992]

@Quigs10190 hahah wow the biggest i eva seen

[shadowclaw9100]

@Quigs10190 i agree

[mmusiclifee]

@Quigs10190 hahaha xD

[apestol]

nice jeans buddy

[richied1904]

last serve is bad

[MattScottUK]

We'll take you seriously when you get a haircut ~ jeans for tennis don't make a good impression either! Make an effort to get kitted out properly or don't bother!

[jamespark710]

This dude is a queer

n that serve sucks

IT WASNT IN...

[supertrex2]

he can fuck u up big time.

[IULENZA]

ma ciucciami la fava

[TowerToons]

FOOT FAULT

[unfairpatriot]

this is so freakin retarded! it looks weird and the serve wasnt even in. how stupid. Who is this guy anyway!? Hes not even a coach or a pro. are u kidding me?

[McAndy69]

and you didnt even say to snap the wrist

[McAndy69]

what a retard,with that kind of serve,you shouldnt cross the right foot over

[1000MileLost]

4:06 priceless

[certs114]

That dudes serve wasn't even in......stupid video.

[joejazzmaniac]

its ok..its not so bad..atleast some fellows can learn something..

[saintCENTAR]

congrats!!

[zblempt]

:DDDD

[windkyrie]

crap

[andreyofdoom]

HAHAHAHAH You're not Nadal and to prove that you spelled Uncle Toni wrong! AHHA

[RafaeINadal]

Toni? where you see him? Look at video of Puffincat...he is best on youtube and you will love me for it

[retarded1996]

ummmmm u forgot about straightening ur arm

[BERTINOSBORNE12]

bend your knies

[alonsomat84]

thanks!

[onlyjohnno613]

a bit too much useless talk about "ok , now we are going to do this.. do that" about 4 minutes of the video was talking nonsense.

[hellosomedude2]

left foot doesn't have to point to the net... in fact most top players make it almost horizontal to the net, even when serving from the right of the court ..

[serbpride3]

lol the guys got the same shoes as me

[sutro19]

OUT!!!

[shenjinyou]

You definitely got a little nervous,anyway,not bad!

[CHMiles]

Dreadful. The videos from intosport are much better.

[TvojDedi]

um yeah well...i dont wanna be mean but im the nr.2 inmy country and i can serve better then u...btw im 14 -_-'

[angu1984]

JESUS!

"Foot facing the net"; "Hammer grip" !

If you don't know how to teach, DO NOT DO IT!

This is misinformation, honestly!

Nice hair thou, ahahahaha!

[2002korea]

totally agree!!

[BERTINOSBORNE12]

yeah man i agree

[snapywrist]

IM IN MOTEL 8 NO KEEP

[MattScottUK]

So .. his demo serve didn't even go anywhere near the box! He's wearing arm bands, so probably has tennis elbow from bad technique - hardly in a position to be teaching anyone tennis if he can't play properly himself! He never even mentions the key features of serving - very poor demonstration.

[sedgcumbe]

lol what a wierdo

[ejdjaja]

hey!! dominic's serve is fault!!!??

[Francisisthename]

his serve prolly goes in 1 out of 5 times

[themercenary86]

fuck, 5 mins of video to see a shitty serve that a noobe can do better

[fergiepes2008]

i fancy u and im a boy!

[fergiepes2008]

i fancy u!

[kiddbilly3030]

That's a nice serve. Nice ass though, too!

[tha073926]

wow he didnt even get his serve in lol.

[sum4193]

OH LOOK! IT's A HIPPIE!!!

[aulen300]

did dominic play at the future tournament in california this week?

[freshwes2001]

good job guys, thanks for helping us all out with some advice

[vertitover]

that was an ugly serve really though i am still curving up my serve.

[shareyourmind]

Ugly serve !

It's funny how you said "foot pointing toward the net" and then when you actually served your foot was more parallel than anything else (45°recommended)...

[alequis]

very nice video, well done. sure the guys look like porn actors, but this should be good for they, i guess.... anyway, good job!

[jraybay]

how do u know what porn actors look like. and how do they look like porn actors>?

[doctaword]

Cause we all watch porn, and theyre fit

[jraybay]

no some of us have girlfriends or fuck buddies. no need for porn when u can have the real thing. *me* lifes good! XD

[iareryc3]

there's really no correct grip. It's a matter of preference. I perfer continental for flat serves. Extreme western for Kick.

[autoextraible]

very cute the blonde girl speaking.

[golf1262]

no homo? puhahaha

[kballers]

hahas lmao i didnt get it at the beginning cuz i thought there gona be another one talk

[TennisManiac0]

you totally mistimed your upper and lower body

[bfdlt33]

All wrong man !! for the serve you need extreme western grip,lower ball toss behind your head,and to step into court as far as possible.I know because i am a pro like all these other commenters....get a life !!

[TheGEazye]

lol no for serve ir's continental

[xman4un]

"pros"....yeah, alright. For starters, they were demonstrating the basic "techs" of the service motion. They could have been more detailed about the proper toss and body alignment, but overall...it was good.

[Vedad010792]

extreme western?? U mean the continental grip..

[bosanac01]

hahahah this video is a joke. You guys suck, and ya boring as hell.

[CloMay]

what about those who cant position their feet like that? im pidgeon toed(as they call it) which means my feet naturally curve inswards and positioning them out like that hurts...so hows this gonna help id say do it how it suits you that way you can do it better everyone has different styles of doing it

[Haleyxoxo1xoxo]

I am just learning how to play tennis I think they rock my name is abby from the people I`ve watched there the best.

[supertrex2]

lol, nice overhead practice

[gino454]

yo wtf is that????that is not helpfull at all.here's how u learn to serve get a bunch of balls go out and do it until it feels natural and u got it then u learn little tips and tricks to imporve.if it never feels natural don't play tennis

[neosquid]

That serve was only 3 ft wide and 10 ft long. A little more practice and you can cut those numbers down by half.

[heartlesswizard]

i think you're confused. clearly he was aiming for the baseline.

just kidding. i'm sure he was just nervous.

[hotieluverxxx]

kk i don't mean to sound weird or anythings... A few mistakes u made

1. Ur grip was more of the backhand style grip.. Not a continental grip

2. Ur footwork is horrible.. U will eventually tear ur knees like that

3. U r suppose to hit the ball in the service box crosscourt from you, not nail it wherever u want

4. When u serve u took a step back which was too big which will result in a bad serve

5. There wasn't even flick of a wrist to generate power and accuracy

6. U didn't recover after

[willobillo0714]

his knuckles werent on top though isnt a backhand grip when ur knuckles r on top? and do u use the backhand grip to do a more effective spin serve( which he didnt do)

[paulkielsmithdotcom]

That's your basic frying pan serve. You really don't have an athletic move into the ball, no turn, very little knee bend, no pronation, no left hip stretch, no vertical component. As a consequence, you are hitting the ball about 30 mph.

Get a few lessons from a local pro or watch a lot more videos online. You have a lot to work on.

Good luck, mate.

[ruff0210stuff]

grotten schlecht!!!!

[dereliktmyballz]

wtf the guy in jeans cant even serve. it might be because he is wearing jeans but still its shit. and im not just saying that i play tennis so know :) continental/hammer grip same thing both names are right
