Thank you coach. I have struggled with my serve for a long time, and after watching your clip, I am convinced that it is best to go back to step one, relearning and practicing the basics mentioned here and after that, put the fancier power moves such as hip turn, knee bend, jumping up etc ... on top of those basics.

This is very close how I teach people to serve. 15 years ago I almost got thrown of a coaching course saying the word push. Should of marketed it better, oh well.

Superb video! The mentioning of pronation that helps the progression of top spin serve is true. You need the pronation for a good kick serve.

All this technique business can be.. will be... easier to learn if you go on court and keep your joints really loose. Like a puppet, or rag doll. Let body rotation swing your arm. Feel your hips, shoulders contributing. Don't muscle the ball.

Core Rotation. Passive Arm.

@drumsfightingandstuf You are correct about pronation. And I feel the best way to communicate the idea of pronation (and why it is biomechanically correct) is to do what I suggested above: Stand up, put your racquet down, turn slightly sideways, and with really loose joints swing forward. Watch what happens to your hand; It will be facing outward. IConveying the basic idea doesn't get any more natural or simple than that. You can'y argue against what the body does naturally.
