I am 71 and I have never played so well. I tell my friends it's because of the party hat guy. I never had lessons and I love playing tennis now. My friends aren't listening but I am beating them because of you. I wish I sinew this stuff when I was a kid.
I played my 42 year old son for 6 hours today. Just couldn't stop playing. I love learning this game.
Hi Ryan , I’m mani and I’m 17 years old and I’m playing tennis since I was 12 . I always had problems in serve and always disappointed during matches while making a lot of double faults, and after watching this video and practicing for a couple of weeks, I’m now serving way way better and Im so happy. Thanks a lot Ryan ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
I got hooked on your advice a year back, that "tennis is a lifting game" comment really struck home ! That helped a lot. I only recently viewed the "hit a perfect serve" video.
I have been working with it for 2 weeks, keep returning to it, focus on one step at a time. I'm 79 and have many years of etching into my service motion those mistakes you point out.
I am amazed at the progress I'm seeing, correcting each step, one at a time. I was flabbergasted to realize that I WAS changing my grip out of the continental before making contact.
Thanks for teaching a very old dog some great new tricks, seven of them....
Best ever technical video on how to serve.
Thank you so much!!!
This video should be a mandatory watch for all tennis players
Wow thank you so much!!!
This video was more informative than the 5 years I’ve been being coached
Thx
Thanks so much!!
There’s an endless supply of videos and video lessons but I’m a believer that you need to kill the clutter - Find something to focus on and adopt the principals. This is an utterly amazing step by step set of serving principals that deserves focus and repetitive practice. I’m going to kill the clutter and make this my serving Bible. Can’t thank you enough for the depth and willingness to truly teach!
Wow thank you mark!! What a kind thing to say!!! Please keep me posted about how these techniques work for you!!
Just Genius . Everybody at every level should see this tutorial. You are a Master of Tennis.
Wow thank you Carlos! I really appreciate your support. Glad the serve videos have cleared up the proper serve technique. Have a great day!
This is a brilliant lesson, as many have said. I'm a 60-yo low-grade suburban competition player, who had some additional lessons a couple of years ago specifically to get more pop on my serve. That coach introduced me to the idea of winding and unwinding, and trying to get a bit of a sling shot action with the elbow and forearm.
But I hadn't come across the "knock the party-hat off" action. I tried it this afternoon, and within just a few serves I could feel it working! The improvement in the sling-shot action was pretty well immediate.
As an extra benefit, even after a couple of hours of practising it and using it in 2 sets of doubles, I have no soreness at all in my shoulder, which i might have expected on trying a new action. I'm thinking that's at least partly due to a pretty smooth transfer in the direction of the momentum that this action generates.
I still have a lot of work to do on the whole chain of events, but this near-immediate success is really rewarding and exciting.
With reference to your other similar video, I'm not sure I'll ever get to 100 mph, but I'm sure gonna give it a try!😅
Thank you so much.🙏
I love watching your videos in half speed to help visualize the proper movements but also because it makes you sound like a happy drunk. Thanks for the insightful and at times amusing content!
Best serve class I've ever seen. 👏👏 I wish my tennis coachs have donne this to me. Great, great job! Congrats from Brazil.
Wow thank you so much!!!!
I've never seen a better breakdown and description of a serve
agree!

Probably the most comprehensive tutorial on serve I have seen. Just while practicing the recommended steps, I could already feel the difference. The idea behind snapping your hand when it is hurt was in particular very illustrative and immediately helped me understand pronation. Looking forward to taking this to the courts!
Wow thank you! And please let me know Harsh how it works for you on court. Any questions write them here and I’ll help. You Got This!!!
I'm, be in
You are a living legend I cannot thank you enough!!!!
Wow Rebecca. That’s an amazing compliment. Have an awesome week and thanks for your support!
whoa ! played squash 25 years . that serve is not a big deal.
this tennnis serve is!!
this is excelent cannot wait to try it .
I've been lifelong struggling with my serve. Thank's a lot! Never seen such a comprehensive Master Class before.
Thanks so much. So glad you liked it!!
Everytime I watch this video I correct one more mistake in the court. This is such a valuable source. Thank you. I’m really grateful for this resource.
I’m so glad you liked the video. I made that quite awhile ago but so glad you can watch it again and again!
Excellent instructions tremondously helped me by keeping the racquet head closed facing down. Thanks to you no more or a lot less waiter serves. Should set up an account so we can donate to the channel.
Salient seven points clarify the hows and whys of tennis serve. Thank you for the details, Ryan.
Phenomenal. I’ve spent 1 year of testing how to serve and basically I came to all this features as described in video. Oh God... watching this video 1 year back I could save lot of time:)))
Wow thank you! So glad you found the video helpful!
@@2MinuteTennis appreciate you highlighted really important points. I passed this through my own experience and they are workable. The best in this video that you describe terminology that you are using together with motions and pointing “how not to proceed”. Lot of couches they do understand terminology not correctly and they explain in a wrong way to their students.
Wow. Best serve video I have seen. Answers so many questions! I can't wait to try tomorrow!
such an incredibly useful video. i've referred back to this several times since it was posted. loooove a long form 2MinuteTennis where you get into a bunch of picky gritty detail.
WOW! For me it's confirmed, you're by far the best tennis teacher. Thank you.
Hey thanks mike!! I really appreciate your kind words. You got this!!
Not only very instructive, also a very nice teaching approach. I wish I had someone like you when I was a child!
Wow what a nice compliment. Thank you!!
This is by far the best serving guide I have ever seen
That's what it means to be a top tennis coach!
Thank you for this precious tennis lesson with simple and argumentative information!
Bravo!
The best tennis serve video I have ever seen! Excellent!
The most excellent step by step to the serve ever.
Thanks Ryan, best tutorial on the web.
This is the best instructional video on serving on the internet! Take notes!
Great video, this will allow me to show my son the proper steps and mechanics of a serve, as his school lacks any direction. Thank you
Wow thanks so much Gerardo!
36 minutes video.. It's worth every second of it!
Wow thank you so much!!
You are the best tennis teacher. Clear and simple. I will watch all your tutorials
Excellent coaching. I did learn a lot from this remarkable video and I will surely recommend to my friends.
Thank you so much
THIS was a super good Lesson, The Best Lesson of serving that I have ever has/seen, I wish I would have seen this 25 yrs ago,,,,Keep up the good works, I will share this with my tennis friends,,,,JAS
I was having trouble with my serve. I save this excellent Video. The instructor was excellent in show and explaining the Serve process. I love this video. Now I have to practice what I saw here. Thank you.
So glad you liked it Frank!
This is a long 2minute tennis. Worth it.
Thank you very much for the great tutorial! I would love to see a slow motion of you doing a serve. So all the steps you mention are clearly visible and maybe easier to copy. Thanks again! Great video to learn how to serve correctly. Greeting from a tiny village in the Netherlands.
Just play the video in .25 or .50 speed and there’s your slow motion.
I am 71 and your lessons have me playing like I have never done before.
Today I played singles with my son for 5 hours. I am so excited to get pro help for the first time in my life. I never knew tennis was played this way. I tell my friends to watch the party hat guy. They haven't done that but they wonder why I am playing so well.
hows your game progressed over the past 2 years? just discovered this guy tonight, cant wait to get out and try his methods
I've been practicing your method and it's helped me improve my serve. Thanks so much
One of THE best serve video I've seen on YT. I especially appreciate the thorough explanation of each check points, what to avoid and why to avoid.
Great video explaining the tennis serve. I'm buying some birthday hats and practicing today.
Thanks
This is best explanation on how to serve!!
This is the best video I've seen describing the serve motion step by step. amazing!!!!!!
Ryan's my favorite tutor. Thank you.
Thank you. This is the best serve technique explanation I've seen.
Will be trying this out tomorrow. I struggled recently and this staging works. Many thanks from Scotland
Happy you liked the video and good luck!!
Thanks - this is a great and very clear visual instruction - will be trying all of it!
Just realised, I was doing it all wrong, Thanks mate. You are brilliant, time to do it right. One love from Manchester UK. 😊
Applying all these tips improved my game drastically, I'm much more confident with my serve and I've won 3 matches in a row. Thanks a lot.
This is awesome. The most comprehensive guide for serve. I have been looking for something like this and this video here is excellent, Thanks so much.
Brilliant step by step breakdown of the action 👍
Thank you David!! Appreciate the support. 😊👍🎾
there are just so many things that we need to keep in mind and i always forget about something:( i will keep practising though, and i hope i get it right one day..thank you so much you are so helpfull.
Really glad to help. Don’t think of everything at once. Take once piece and practice it. Then move to the next idea. This video encompasses a lot. Take one bit at a time and move slowly. You’ll get it. :)
Hello 👋 Ryan & All ! This is a very good explanation shown on the video! Thanks 👍🏽
Ryan, this is a phenomenal breakdown of how to serve like a pro. Extremely helpful and very happy with the results! Sincere thanks for this video!!!
Thanks for taking the time and effort to make this.
I only see 6 mins of the video and I actually upgreade an insane quantity my serve, thanksss!
So glad to hear that!! Thanks for letting me know!
I'm so grateful for your instructions, thanks a lot
Hi Ryan, its Jordi from Barcelona , Spain. I am 56, #18 of Sapin in my category +55. This is the best explanation I have ever seen in my life on how to hit a perfect server. 49 years playing tennis by the way. THANKS
Thanks Ryan for the video. I am watching a handful of tennis trainers on youtube and I really appreciate your videos. I also re-watch your videos after practicing. I wish I had this mind I have now and your videos when I was younger. Anyway, it is good to learn from you all the steps in mastering the technique.
Man, as soon as you described the palm down position as the position you would have for throwing (e.g. a baseball) I got it and saw what I was doing wrong.
And I've been playing for a long time.
Thank you.
The BEST video on Tennis Serving Tutorial I have ever seen. After watching and following the guides my serves improve a lot. It takes me quite a while and with immerse effort to rectify my old mistakes (with only slow progress). Had I come across this video much much earlier I needed not to struggle with my serves. Thank you Mr. 2MinutesTennis.
Wow thank you John! Thanks for the support and for trusting me to help you. Have a great weekend!
Brilliant. The best video on serving that I've ever seen!! I'll be working this video for weeks and weeks to try and get it all. Thanks so much
Thank you Ryan you put your heart in your words and lessons you have benign laugh your lesson really helpful to us
Never understand so clear why I can't serve. I was so excited and practicing till 3am at home. Also help clear my doubt on why I need to turn the racket when hitting the ball. Very helpful visual on birthday hat! I will share my kid this video. Thank you so much!
So well explained, no literature can explain the gratitude I have for you. I struggled so badly and your technique made it so simple. You made my tennis serve.
Thanks to your technique, my serve has massively improved! I was so frustrated because of my poor serve, but now things have completely changed! A massive thank you from the south of Italy! U r the best!
Such a cool, good and professional lesson. You're the best on TH-cam. My son learns so much from your videos, much more that from his lessons on the court! Thanks so much🎉
I just turned 80 and my serve has become easier to return than I would like. I refuse to attribute this to my 'slowing down' but obviously, my serving racket speed has slowed down. I have taken notes about the fine points of the serve as you explained it and plan to take apart my current serving technique and build it back again BETTER. With improvements in accuracy of hitting my targets, increasing racket speed, and applying sufficient spin, I hope to squeeze out enough refinement to get to the point where my serve will become a weapon instead of a weakness. Your analysis should help considerably. Thanks.
What a great attitude. I'll take you as a role-model. Never too old to learn a new trick. All the best!
Wow 💛
I have watched probably 20 videos on serve, by far yours is the best, I understood many things that I was not aware of! Can’t wait to go practice!
This is literally the best tennis analysis video I have ever seen in my entire life
33:46 is the time to start from if you already watch the video once.
My thoughts exactly
I've seen a million videos on youtube on fixing my serve (esp, consistency),this video addresses all of my concerns, Appreciate it,TY!
Just came across this beautiful and short video on serve. You have excellently explaned into details rather than long talk. I watched few videos on serve.. but couldn't help me to serve better. Am in love with tennis. I needed to do it right this time with your teachings.
You did it right with the birthday hat. 😊
the best lesson teacher i have seen,,thankssss
Absolutely tremendous video on how to serve correctly... helped me out a bunch... just hope my opponents don't see this video so I can maintain an advantage by having this knowledge.
Haha thanks so much William. Really appreciate the kind words. Have an awesome weekend and ssshhhhhh. I won’t tell them if you don’t……..
I appreciate your coaching technique and will practice to improve my service. Thank u
Wow thank you. Appreciate you support. 🎾👍
After YEARS and YEARS and YEARS off tennis...(43 now, played in Primary and Highschool), I am back into tennis. my WORST shot was my serve and it has put me off doing tennis. After watching your Serving video and ball toss video amongst, I can so ALL THE THINGS I was doing wrong. I started today doing your serve, I really liked it. I have a long way to go, but it is SO MUCH BETTER than when I used to guess with my ball toss and swing a fast awkward FLAT racket to smash the ball down and just pray!.. Cheers mate!
Clear and detailed instruction. It changed my serve with effective result. Thank you very much for the teaching!
So glad the video helped you!!!
Easy to follow for both tennis professionals and players. Great visuals as well!
Thank you so much!!!
A great Serve lesson, I have seen many tennis Coaches at TH-cam, but only you are the one who teaches the most details and explanations easily to understand , you make my tennis level up.
thank you very much,
I like that you showed where you get power from , good job.
The pointer about the 3 things (legs pushing off, knocking birthday hat off, tossing arm dropping) happening at the same time is something I haven't heard other coaches mention. What a great tip!
That's was truly excellent. I have never seen anyone from live coaching to TH-cam break down the serve as thoroughly and subtly as you. Great work! Thank you!
thank you so much!!
I'm going to the court to go through this now - thank you. Lets see if I can nail it!!! ... Very helpful videos. The virtual mentor!
Very smooth tennis Ryan, your check poi nts very impressive, I would call the serve step by step, thanks for your value tips 👍
This is such a good how-to serve video!!! Very clear and specific. :)
So glad you liked it Jessica! Appreciate the support!!!
This is so comprehensive. I can’t wait to try all the checkpoints. The imagery really sticks in the brain. I have a very inconsistent ball toss so I’m going to be throwing lots of glasses of water in the air. Thanks for a great video
Thank you Jill. There are no quick fixes. It all takes time. Keep trying and working. You got this!
Great video serve has always baffled me but now I know the steps to follow. Thanks Ryan
Phenomenal instructions!
At first, I thought the Video might be too long then I did not want it to end.
Learn so much from you , thanks Ryan!!!!
One of the best explanation of hitting a consistent serve on TH-cam. Keep up the great work Bryan!!! This video had benefitted a lot for me.
New to tennis and this helped me solve a ton of issues I've developed, much appreciated!
Thank you so much!
You have summarized perfectly all that is to know about a top level serve. I'm grateful to having found you!
My best wishes! You are a great man and teacher.
Several months ago I saved this video to my personal tennis library and it has really helped improve my serve. It's so informative and I come back to it from time to time. Thank you Ryan; I've got this!
This is best of best video on serve. Thanks so much.
What an amazing person to take the time to fully explain how to properly serve. I went out to party city and gotten a pack of birthday hat. Yes, people in the courts next to mine think I'm crazy... but I don't care. I've been practicing for the past several days and I feel more difference than years of traditional amateur serve practice. I record film to watch myself and also review this film every-time. The more I watch this video the more the details stick. All I can say is thank you from the Big Apple (NYC)!
Hey Ryan. I watched this tutorial before my training in 4-person group yesterdays evening but had a time to watch just first 4 steps, but believe me, as u said even those 4 steps REALLY helped me to improved my serve yesterday. Thank you Sir and greetings from Poland.
Wow I’m so glad this video helped your serve!!
thank you for the video. Im bad with words but this is extremly helpful. i just really want to thank you.
Classic 2MT serve video ✌️🎾
Thanks Justin!
That is the best serve instruction I've ever seen! Thank you! My problem has always been an inconsistent toss.
