The Basics On How To Serve A Tennis Ball Video

[dpatrotod]

the one point he fails to say is contact. the point of contact should initially be up. so many players think they can hit down into the other court, unless you're 6'5 or taller, you can't.

[Sb7productions]

@dpatrotod good comment, instead of saying 6'5, just say John Isner lolz :)

[eaay12]

it must be continental grip

[Abercrombiechick54]

[ehpaw1]

NICE

tennis is individual's style

many tennis players have different style

there are a lot of video about how to serve a tennis ball on you tube but i don't know which one is the best.  :)

[Kiasko]

Your not even supposed to use an eastern forehand grip to serve though.

[2710blahblah]

im just learning how to play tennis and this is very helpful.i wasnt using the right teq. so thank u veryyyy much:)

[lechica62]

Thank you for explaining it well Nic. This is certainly very useful. Heidi

[mrproscooter1]

what tennis racquet have you got

[xVarietyCinema]

is it wrong to jump then? because i do all the same techniques but i naturally jump just before i make contact with the ball?

[ProjectBlackout0wns]

@xVarietyCinema No its good to jump, then its going to give the ball more force.

[xVarietyCinema]

@ProjectBlackout0wns oh good :) thankyou so much

[IxSPAWNxKILL]

This makes serving look so much easier. Thanks i will try this

[waledmahfooz]

[chattymaddy104]

I'm trying out for my schools tennis team and I needed a few tips on my serves!!!!

[AFCCZ]

Thank you very much for you help

[AFCCZ]

Thank you very much

[heavensfury2121]

First of all you should never start your motion before you hit the ball. Second you should make the trophy position before you hit the ball. Third watch how Federer and Sampras hit their serve.

[andrewpmast]

@heavensfury2121 I think this video is designed to get the basics down first.... trying to do a pro serve right off the bat is TMI to master all at once. Most teachers I know use this same method of keeping the racket back first... as well as following through all the way around the front (hugging).

[soulrock101]

gud work

[findermannchris162]

thank you man, where is this place located? Are you teaching there?

[findermannchris162]

Excellent, thank you Nick Sabbatini. Actually you kicked my ass in playing Orange Bowl a long time ago, I still remember the beating though. I must try this serve now!!

[SuperBookworm09]

[tmkutch06]

This guy has wins over Philipousis, Rios, and Norman. Not bad!

[tmkutch06]

This guy is the man!

[tmkutch06]

Teaching begginiers to start serving with an eastern forehand grip is correct. Kaveen you might want to check your sources. If you ever heard of a gentelman called Boris Becker he used to serve with an eastern forehand grip. Not a bad server right? You obviously do not know who the guy doing this video is, and did in tennis. Otherwise you will certaintly do not through facts.

[araym7]

what kind of accent is that?

[tmkutch06]

@araym7

I think is German

[kaveen11]

aww, thats a girly serve, you're not supposed to keep the racquet behind your back, it's supposed to be one motion

[awesomo95]

@kaveen11 this is a beginner video:D your not going to have an Isner serve when you have learned this but you might have the basic technique to improve your serve next step. The only thing that pisses me offf about this video is how he is teaching people to have an eastern grip. thats bullshit, its continental and this is not my opinion this is a fact. there is no excuse for teaching people the wrong grip

[tmkutch06]

@awesomo95

no clue

[496432]

talk less do more.....

okey sir......



[XxRoxStarXxX]

@denniscool22 teaches well to me

[circuitdesign]

I don't understand how a former pro could get the grip wrong. Every teacher and pro in the world knows that the grip used on the serve is a continental grip, NOT an eastern. But what do I know, right? Go ahead and ask your local tennis pro what the correct service grip is and report back to me.

[tmkutch06]

@circuitdesign

You are right, you don't know.

[tmkutch06]

@circuitdesign

The best line of your paragraph is: I don't understand, you got that part right! Good job!

[circuitdesign]

@tmkutch06 Maybe you should also email Federer and Nadal and every other touring pro to let them know that they are serving incorrectly using a continental grip. You can suggest that they watch this video so they can improve their serve by switching to an Eastern grip. LOL!

[tmkutch06]

@circuitdesign Try to understand. Basic technique, begginner level of the game, eastern forehand grip is correct. Advanced levels of the game continental grip is correct. Nadal and federer level of the game, eveything is correct. Nadal serves with an eastern backhand by the way.

[ProjectBlackout0wns]

@circuitdesign Isn't the Eastern and the Continental grip the same. The Continental is used in Asia and Europe.

[mephatboi]

the elbow wont point str8 @the back fence on the ad side (it'll be more at an angle)

[smithcm14]

You eventually want to use a continental grip.

[tmkutch06]

@smithcm14

correct

[unknowncritic1]

thumbs up if you noticed he is using a babolat

[bhallic24]

eastern forehand? huh?

[lolita123ish]

Ok teach me the serve now.

[mckeensusan]

Great coverage of all the elements of the serve. Lots of information in an easy to understand and apply format. BEST video on youtube for learning how to serve in tennis. We recommend it to all our beginning tennis players! - Susan McKeen, Smoke Rise Tennis (GA)

[TheRealPo]

Kickass accent

[Vandera05]

great demonstration!

[mulanak]

thanks!!!

[MrSabbatiniNicolas]

Isaih999,

Yes you can serve with an eastern forehand grip. It is the ideal grip for beg to intermediate players. As the players advance, a continental grip will be considered.

Hope it helps!

Nic.

[MrSabbatiniNicolas]

Isaih999,

Yes, you can serve with an eastern forehand grip. It is not the most advanced grip, but for players who are starting the game it is ideal.

[Isaih999]

can i serve with a forehand? sorry for the spelling

[sidewaysdriver89]

Yeah this is great if I want to serve like a retarded paraplegic.

[titovelasquez118]

Sideways, it sounds like you are a retard from birth, no need to try.

[MazenAlsharief]

One o'clock - three o'clock ... Hugging...Shaking hands with the raquet...Very nice phrases which are easy to memorize!

[juliplu]

Excellent! really helpful.

[6ftleprichaun]

thank you , you teach in a very kind way that makes me want to listen and do so thanx

[Chaklight]

very good job!!

[Chaklight]

Great job, thank you.
