Strengthening Your Tennis Serve
Tips for improving your serve and controlling points. A few hints for players of any level to hit an accurate tennis serve and enhance the playing experience.
Use the same routine before every serve. Taking deep breaths or bouncing the ball on the ground the same number of times helps keep the mind clear and sets a service routine that will be easier to reenact. Never rush into a first or second serve especially if the preceding shot was poorly played or an unforced error.
Develop a consistent toss with a steady release point. As your non-dominant hand releases the ball keep the arm in the air pointing to the lofted ball until you begin the stroke motion with the other hand. Dropping the arm to soon will cause the shoulder to drop and force the ball low resulting in serves in the net.
Adjust your toss if it is inconsistent. A toss too far out in front of you causes serves to fall in the net while a toss that is too far behind you will force the serve long. If the toss feels wrong don't serve. Simply let it drop and try again.
Keep your arm and wrist relaxed. Much of the power and spin in a serve comes from the rotation of the wrist. Tight muscles and a stiff arm will limit the your ability to control and pace the serve. Reach high with a loose arm and hit up on the ball.
Use a similar stroke for both the first and second serve. The first serve generally is hit for power and placing more spin on the ball by using wrist rotation alters the second serve. Brushing across the back of the ball puts more jump or kick on the ball causing it to bounce higher when it hits the service box.
Visualize where the serve is going as part of the service routine. To hit the ball down the middle stand closer to the hash mark in the middle of the baseline. For a wide serve stand closer to the doubles alley.
Have fun and practice, practice, practice. Using small cones in the service box can help with accuracy and consistency. Always warm up slowly and hit the first few serves with less pace and with an emphasis on the serve ritual. Good luck!
