Pronation is one of the most important parts of the tennis serve. Every high-level tennis player pronates when he or she hits the tennis ball. This video covers how, when and why you pronate when you hit a tennis serve. If you haven't already added pronation to your serve, now is the time!

FYB,  is pronation also used for topspin / slice / twist serves too? I feel that pronation is more so for flat serves?

[FYB2007]

it's used for all serves

Terry, you're an idiot.

Thank you very much for your detailed explanation. This will definitely help me.

Pronation adds spin, but the fact you've moved you're racquet sideways from the beginning (i.e. less air resistance, faster swing) is what adds power.

I find it really hard to pronate when I'm doing spin serves like slice serves and top spin serves, I feel like it would hurt my wrist... I have no problems pronating when doing flat serves because of the motion. What can you suggest?

[WuIzMe]

i think this pronation motion is totally wrong.... pronation occurs with the racquet closer to a perpendicular angle to the forhand rather than parallel

[thorie79]

On my serve, I swing at the ball like flapping a wing and I think I injured my shoulder. When I watch these videos, the arm motion looks more like hammering a nail into a wall. Does that sound right? Would switching to a hammering motion rather than a sideways slapping motion be better for my shoulder?

@Kbrlite I see a lot of hackers using a forehand grip to serve... they don't pronate at all, just push. Make sure you use a backhand grip to serve. It helps if you know how to throw properly... it's the same motion. If you are relaxed it should happen naturally

[ARTZY64]

@tennismaster321 If you are using the proper backhand grip on the serve, your racquet will come up on edge... you have to pronate to get the racquet face on the ball.

Great video! I find it very interesting that we had very similar things to say regarding pronating the forearm even though we play different sports (see my video in question here: youtube.com/watch?v=HNVC5PVJyP­Q

I'll refer some of my viewers to this video since you have some nice angles from the back and from above.

Thanks for this, and your other vids, really helpful ;-)
