Tennis Lesson: Serve Tips: Lead with the Hip

http://www.fuzzyyellowballs.com/improve-your-forehand-in-45-minutes/

When you prepare to serve, leading with the hip in the trophy pose will help you get your core muscles into the serve, letting you hit the tennis ball a little bit harder. Using as many muscles as possible when you serve, or almost any other shot in tennis, is extremely important -- leading with the hip is a tip that will help you do that.

will question.

I find it a bit hard when I bend my knees and then I have to lead with the hip, still distributing same weight on both legs.

do you have any tip regarding this please ?

thanks in advance

hi dlight. i would practice balancing w/out hitting the ball. the motion definitely isn't easy the first few times you try serving so i would slowly work up to it. freeze in the trophy pose and see if you can hold it -- if you can your balance is good.

This video I good but if you watch the lady with the long legs in the background you hope she is having lessons to.

You should teach that girl with black pants how to hit backhand :)

@nardok21 Jumping allows you to hit the ball from a higher point, thus higher chance to serve in.

@FYB2007 isn't it natural to have more weight on the front foot Will ? I think Safin doesn't quite have the weight equally distributed on each foot because his back foot's heel is up.

Thank you so much Mr.Hamilton. Most of your videos and explaination are very helpful. Now I can use my hip into the serve. I am surprised to discover that this not only gives my serve more power but also the placement. I can also use my hip to direct where I want the ball to be. My serve ran my apponent crazy today: I placed the ball at the two corners or close to the side lines with power and out of his reach. One thing I dont like is that it gives me much fun but too bad for my appponent.

I don't understand why you have to bend your knees and jump when you serve ... ok bending the knees, but jumping?

He doesn't balance on both feet equally, you can see his front foot shaking a lot, while his back foot is fine...
