*TENNIS KICK SERVE*: (How To Hit A Tennis Kick Serve)

http://jeffsalzensteintennis.com

This tennis serve drill will help you learn how to hit a kick serve or topspin serve. A kick serve will give your opponent more problems by kicking up high to their backhands.

We call this serve drill the dirty diaper to help you with the kick serve.

First get down on your front knee and have the back leg up.

From this position, try and toss the ball over the head for the kick serve.

During the motion of the serve you want to try and hit the left side of the ball if you are a right-handed player and the right side of the ball if you are left-handed.

The big key to hitting the kick serve is being able to brush up on the ball.

To make that easier during the kick serve, actually lean into the court instead of rotation while trying to make contact.

At the end, try to keep the elbow up and the palm of your hand facing you.

Adding the kick serve to your game will help increase the consistency of your serve.

The three main points to take away for the kick serve are:
1. Toss the ball further over your head
2. Lean into the court instead of rotating
3. Have the palm of your hand face you at the end

Kick serves are more consistent than slice serves. Learning the correct kick serve technique will help you improve your serving game today!

The first step of the tennis kick serve is the location of your toss. The location of your toss -- where you put the tennis ball -- is a critically important element of the tennis kick serve. You need to toss the ball in a spot that allows you to make contact the ball when it is directly over your head.

We compare the tennis flat serve and kick serve in this video to show how the toss location differs. Tossing the tennis ball so that you can hit it when it's directly over your head allows you to swing properly (as you will see in subsequent videos, the swing direction on a kick serve is different from a flat serve). As I mention in the video, a trick you can use to make learning how to hit a kick serve easier is to aim for your opposite, hitting-arm shoulder when you toss.

TrippleLee....I never was a master at grammar. I will stick to tennis

[TennisCoachTV]

Thanks, sarasmilepiano... this drill definitely works well.

[TennisCoachTV]

Yes, but you wont be as sideways because the toss isnt as far over your head

Holding the racquet higher on the grip helps student learn how to pronate the hand correctly. The butt of the racquet will hit your forearm if you are pronating your hand incorrectly. Make sure the palm of the hand is facing you at the end of this drill. Hope that helps!

I got interested in tennis when I watched Prince of tennis

who cares about diapers????

[DrViciousDelicious]

Awesome drill, I especially like how it mentions how your shoulders and hitting arm should look on the finish. Not enough instruction on how to change a dirty diaper though.

Top spin serves are not easy... but fun once mastered..

[XChrisXTX]

Is it just me.. Or is the sound only coming out from my left speaker..

@TrippleLee All of this doesn't matter. You're a cunt bucket.

[SloanZurnToto]

Great video.

you must be pretty coordinated being able to hit a kick serve with both arms.

I hope I can get this soon.

shouldn't you spray the handle with some anti bacterial spray after this drill?
