The follow through completes your service motion. From contact, follow through so that the racket points straight down at the court and get your back foot up so that all the weight is on your front foot. Bring the racket around to the other side of your body in a smooth and relaxed motion.

  • So what's the difference on the follow through with the Kick serve; is the follow through to the same side of your body?

    Great video btw

  • The technical aspects of the follow through are the same... however, there are some slight differences because of how you were swinging up to and at contact. The follow through on the kick serve will be further to your side.

  • Damn... this dude makes every person ive ever played tennis with look like a bum.

  • Haha I dunno about that...

  • @goodie2toes angle the racket down more, practice your follow through and try to get the racket aimed down in a slightly faster time

  • awesome series of videos much better than other videos on utube

  • every time i hit the serve, it ALWAYS goes far... how can i not have this happen?

  • I taught myself to play tennis by watching videos of pros online as well as your vids, and I can confidently say that I rank at a mid-high 4.0 ntrp rating after 6 years of play, thanks for everything FYB!

  • I'am 56 years old and always had a bad serve. I followed your instructions and in 3 month of practicing and reviewing yours lessons I can now tell that my serve is very good. YOUR ARE BY FAR THE BEST OF THE NET..THANKS

  • ugh f'n lefties..

  • Congratulations for your great job.

    I think there's a little something very important, that disserved almost a topic, it's the jump that occurs just before the impact. Many pros start with their front foot almost parralel to the baseline, and even if it's just 45°, it's impossible to rotate and come back facing the net without leaving the ground. The timing is: leg extension with racket drop/jump-rotate/impact. It may sound like a detail but i think it's important.

  • reminds me of a lawyer trying to prove his case.

  • watching slow motion, we can see the pros rotating their arms as a follow thorugh after contact. Please tell me what's the purpose of this and should I try doing so?

  • hey will, i noticed my tennis serve wasnt great so i went to youtube. i stumbled upon your serve videos, and ever since then my serve has been getting better and better. i just wanted to thank you for these videos and keep making them. AGAIN THANKS A TON.
