Tennis Serve Form Tips & Advice

On behalf of Expert Village my name is Joe Spano. This time we are going to teach the serve the complete serve. Emphasizes I'm using are basic eastern grips for a flat serve of course there is different spin barres but when you are teaching a beginner you want a basic flat serve. There is 4 parts to this serve. First of all you want to emphasis the balance once again same balance as you saw with the forehand balance stroke, what you saw with the forehand volley, the balance position is the same. The anchor foot is 45 degree to the base line, the adjustment foot parallel to the base line. The 4 parts are the back swing as the racket comes straight down to the back scratch we call it a back scratch. Then there is the contact point up from the head to the follow through as the racket goes down the left side. It is a basic formation of the swing.
