I'm a kinesiologist who likes to do tennis research, and your videos are so scientifcally accurate that in my opinion it makes learning and training more intuitive. With evidence on your side, it's easier to apply fundamentals on the tennis court. Keep up the outstanding job you're doing!
You know how sometimes people have been saying something to you your whole life and it just doesn't reach you, and then suddenly somebody comes along and says the same thing, but in a way that immediately makes sense to you and you get it? This was that video for me! I have been making slow motion videos of the pros for a while now and was wondering how they got their racket back so far behind them on their serve, but when he showed the baseball pitcher's motion, and connected it to the serve, I had an epiphany! Great video. Great explanations
Tennis coach here... to everybody reading and watching this video and for what little is worth, I totally endorse the full content of it. It is beautifully explained and the science behind it is solid. While accuracy and power for the serve come from different places as well (from the ball toss to the leg work, for instance), the three main points of the video are undeniable. I always tell my students that the irony of this sport is that the most complextmovement in tennis is the only one where you throw the ball yourself! Very well done, you found yourselves a new sub.
@@harryherman5371 if you feel like you muscle it, it's probably something you'll feel regardless of effort level. I'd bet it has something to do with the movement itself that has some room for improvement. Be sure you reach trophy position and follow up through the motion fluently. Specifically check your shoulders (your left shoulder should be higher than the left one at toss and the opposite at hit) and reach high with your arm and body, as if you would like to hit the ball with your forehead.
Most surprising is how virtually none of the 3 coaches I've had have ever explained this significant difference and advantageous method that pro's use. I've learnt so much more through videos such as yours. Understanding the arm position on raising it, the 'drop' and pull in a kinetic chain momententum is key for power and speed. Great video.
Awesome video. I love how you explain the technical details so thoroughly. The power and inconsistency in my serve has always fluctuated. After watching this video, I hit one practice session then played a match the next day where I was 70-80% on my first serve, and they almost never came back. For context, I've probably been playing at 40-60% first serve % this year, sometimes while losing power. This video as well as the "Perfect Tennis Serve Contact Point and How to Find It" helped me understand the serve so much better and simplified my approach. I also love the PhD level explanations sprinkled in with an occasional Beavis and Butthead laugh. It's endearing, keeps it light and funny.
Thank you for the kind words and for sharing your experience Aaron! I'm doing a happy dance right now, hahaha. Let me know if there's any topics you'd like us to cover next! - Daytri
During the pandemic our family started playing tennis as the major form of exercise....I have been watching a ton of videos....and I must say your videos are some of the most helpful....I also am amazed at how fast you guys serve....it's clear you can teach and you can do it as well....keep up the good work!
As a fellow Lefty I really enjoy your instruction. Not only is it informative but your personality makes it fun to watch . Looking forward to your next video
This helped me so much, thank you! I was frustrated for awhile with my serve, and this video made it 2x faster, more fluid, and helped my shoulder pain. Thanks man!!
I tried many many videos on the tennis serve, but this one was outstanding to show results in my serve. I shared it to my friend and he said it improved 20 mph to his serve. Thank you very much!!
Hi Sreedhar, we are so amazing and happy to hear that your friend has started to see progress on his serve! Tell him to keep up the great work 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Yo, I’ve been checking ya’ll out for a minute. This is one of the 3% of correct information on the Internet for technique. Keep up the good work. Also this was the best video, just based on presentation and joking/personality, it shows more of you both. That dope, keep teaching the truth 💪🏾
I've never done tennis in my life. I signed myself up to a 6 week tennis session starting next week. Thank you for this as it will help kick start my practice.
I CANNOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH how much this video gave me within 24hours. I watched it yesterday,and found out what I did wrong for years in my serve. I bought a box of balls,went excersizing serves in the morning all alone watching your video. It worked! I just came back from our weekly match and my serve was better and safer than ever before. holding the racket flat Like the quarterback throw was the key! I cant be thankful enough
so glad Essential Tennis referenced you. After watching a few of your serve videos i adjusted my shoulder serve motion and mechanics and my shoulder did not hurt after playing for 1 1/2 hours!!!!! felt great. have to work on ball movement now to accommodate for a better serve motion but is well worth it. BYW my flat serve had more mph and felt easier. Thanks. can't wait to incorporate the rest of your info!!!
Thanks to you guys, I have been working on my serve all summer. I watched you video last night (less than 24hrs ago) Went out and did what you guys were talking about, SWOOSH. All I was saying was lamboginee. Because of your video , you guys just like added like so much power to my serve. I dare say it, you guys being dark like me make me so proud. You guys are amongst the best technical coaches. Now this is my advice to yous, keep it up and keep sharing, above all stay fit and stay safe from injuries. Ps Ive pressed like.
I'm here to say thank you. I bumped into ur channel and watched a few for bed time last night and tried those techniques just now, surprisingly they really work and I'm seeing results in just 20 min. I'm so happy about it!
This is the best video serve ever. After years I was missing the leverage concept which is the main one for serve power. You guys rock🤘 and your serve looked atomic 💥
Yeah, he is able to swing his arm REALLY fast. That makes the serve so much better. One of the issues I have on my serve is not being able to swing my arm very fast; which means my serves don’t get as much pace on them
This is beautiful! Thank you guys for doing this - really conceptual aspects explained and demonstrated in understandable way! Also, that wrist joke was a pearl, I laughed for 2 minutes!! Will appreciate the wrist roll on forehand, I can't create enough acceleration, obviously some kinetic gap happens... IMHO must be similar to snap & pronation on serve.
This video makes it clear that the last second snap action is more important that an early smooth drop of the racket behind your back...that's good teaching..
Thank you so much!!!! I am somewhat of a stoic tennis coach. Once I showed my players this. She popped a serve harder than ever just before her first match vs the number one seed this morn! I yelled out loud!!!
Great video. I wish you add more of those slow motion videos. Your demonstrations as you explain the concept is more like flexing. Racquet flexing, if I may.
Wow, thank you guys! After the first day I can say - it really works. I feel my serve can be so much more powerful and the main thing - I spend so much less energy for it
Your production quality was always great, but now you have managed to find another level. Impressive video man, thanks a lot for this. 3:37 got me tho 😂
Effortless swings! All you three have the same exact beautiful smooth swing with so much power! How can I do that? Can you film you guys' serves from different angles with slow motion and upload them ?
This channel is so dope. Thank you SO much for doing your research AND testing what you preach. The quality speaks for itself, and sets this channel apart from any others imo.
nice, i thought the pro drop, was taking the hat off the head or scratch the back as I got taught, but its really rotating the torso and driving the legs, which forces the racquet head to drop. wow
I’ve been playing tennis since I was about 8 competitively. I never had a coach break down my serve in this much detail. Ty so much. Gonna get out on the court to try it w.
Well done - a very well prepared video on serve power - extremely well explained and visualised. The next step would be talking about position of ball toss and use of leg power
Hi, DMan! Here is a video we've recently created on the serve toss: th-cam.com/video/CWEdccTar68/w-d-xo.html More videos on the serve toss will be coming soon. Stay tuned!
Awesome, Awesome video!! Best explanation I have seen over the entire internet.... To make his video super perfect can you slowly go through the forearm rotation starting from the tennis knife edge......ie from the tennis knife edge your smoothly snap your forearm to get the racket string facing the ball at contact...When you performed that part of the serve in the video...it was way too fast to see this forearm snap rotation. although the explanation was good....it would be really great if you showed that in slow motion so people can understand how exactly the ball will be hit from the knife edge position....
I am blown away by the power of your serve when you are just teaching, zero effort and it is a missile.
I'm a kinesiologist who likes to do tennis research, and your videos are so scientifcally accurate that in my opinion it makes learning and training more intuitive. With evidence on your side, it's easier to apply fundamentals on the tennis court. Keep up the outstanding job you're doing!
Thank you for your kind words Roberto! I'm glad we're able to help. We certainly will! - Daytri
Absolutely true
He got all of this from Rick Macci, who started teaching technique based on a guy who did a PhD in the biomechanics of tennis
using kinesiologist, research and scientifically in one sentence contradicts itself lol

I have a big serve but I feel like I muscle it. What percentage power should it feel like on the first serve?

@Motenai you have no credibility to endorse anything, just enjoy the video like everyone else.

Great tutorial! When I played yesterday, just by remembering these 3 steps, my services were powerful and consistent! Love that feeling! Thanks!
This is one of the best explanations I've seen. A lot of so-called coaches undervalue the power of using precise language when explaining a technique.

Best explanation of service preparation I have seen. Respect to you young man. 👍🇬🇧
I tried changing my son’s serve with this technique, and seems to work. Best serve lesson in TH-cam! Thanks!
These videos are good but watch some Rick Macci USTPA. Dudes a legend. Patrick M. too. He’s Holger Runes coach 👍
This helped me so much, thank you! I was frustrated for awhile with my serve, and this video made it 2x faster, more fluid, and helped my shoulder pain. Thanks man!!

Hi Sreedhar, we are so amazing and happy to hear that your friend has started to see progress on his serve! Tell him to keep up the great work 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
you literally explaind the most complex serve in tennis history- serve of Roger Federer!!!!
great video
Who says it’s most complicated?
Looks simple
@@chrismanteris9093 just look at the motion of Roger's right arm
Federer has a very simple classic serve motion actually. It is still very hard to replicate because he has his own style and smoothness.
Dude, you’re amazing! Love this video. Science, physiology, humor and the serve I have always dreamed of. Thanks you!
Yo, I’ve been checking ya’ll out for a minute. This is one of the 3% of correct information on the Internet for technique. Keep up the good work. Also this was the best video, just based on presentation and joking/personality, it shows more of you both. That dope, keep teaching the truth 💪🏾
Thank you Lord Enishi, I appreciate that!
I have 30 years experience with the top players and coaches in the world- your demonstration is the best I’ve ever seen!
I searched this up for the badminton smash and this video unironically helps me, thanks for the clear demonstration :))
Your opponents won't know what hit them 😉
Have to give it to you guys…your videos (teaching/presentation style and the topics you choose) are golden. Hope you are getting all the benefits.
Probably the BEST explanation of racket position and how to get into that position I have seen.
I've never done tennis in my life. I signed myself up to a 6 week tennis session starting next week. Thank you for this as it will help kick start my practice.
You're the best instructor on TH-cam, which is saying a lot.

this video was so much more informative and entertaining than other videos I’ve watched, great work and this has helped out a ton.

Excellent video. Am going to give this a try on the court tomorrow.
This video makes it clear that the last second snap action is more important that an early smooth drop of the racket behind your back...that's good teaching..
Very nice video. Different, fun and super instructive
Greetings from Brazil
Absolutely amazing making everything so clear I go to the court to train and just have your videos on and instant improvement
the best explanation of the technical side of the serve i’ve seen
Thank you so much!!!! I am somewhat of a stoic tennis coach. Once I showed my players this. She popped a serve harder than ever just before her first match vs the number one seed this morn! I yelled out loud!!!
Let's go, Chase!! So happy to hear that your student is getting success with this. Keep at it!!
I am so appreciated your so detailed introduction for the serve. Thanks very much.
Great video. I wish you add more of those slow motion videos. Your demonstrations as you explain the concept is more like flexing. Racquet flexing, if I may.
I must say it's the best video I have ever seen on this topic . Your effort is appriciatable
Your serve is sick. If I could rob you of your serve in a dark alley I probably would. But the tips help.
Thank you Jonas! I would be flattered if I wasn't terrified 😂
RacquetFlex 😂
I'd have to agree with Jonas Wood
most underated tennis channel on youtube, so informative and i learn so much!!
Great! I slowed the vid down to 1/2 speed in a couple of spots and it's helped me understand it even better. Thanks for posting!
Wow, thank you guys! After the first day I can say - it really works. I feel my serve can be so much more powerful and the main thing - I spend so much less energy for it
I'm so glad it helped! Thanks for applying it 😉
Charming guy and great coach. Good luck with the channel.
Your production quality was always great, but now you have managed to find another level. Impressive video man, thanks a lot for this. 3:37 got me tho 😂
Thank you for your continual support, Pranav! Hahaha, gotta plug it somewhere right? 😂
Best lesson i ever seen. Will show it my coach. Till this time i was not understand what should I do to do all properly. Thank you very much !!!
I really appreciated the fun learning aspect of your video
Premium instructions. Thank you !
The best. No more need be said.
Hope to put this into practice to have a serve as mechanically clean as you guys. Astounding!😊
Amazing content, so helpful. But most of all, you guys are fun to watch and it makes me want to go to the court right away and practice!
i like the way you explain all of this technique, appreciate man!! thumbs up!!
Effortless swings! All you three have the same exact beautiful smooth swing with so much power! How can I do that?
Can you film you guys' serves from different angles with slow motion and upload them ?

nice, i thought the pro drop, was taking the hat off the head or scratch the back as I got taught, but its really rotating the torso and driving the legs, which forces the racquet head to drop. wow

See, that's why you need to do ulnar deviation first 😂 Instructions unclear, that's my bad...

Hi Guys, it is certainly the most effective and the most educational video that I've seen about the service ! thx u so much
loved the video, i’m a big tennis fan and i love to play, i’ll keep this. ideo in mind when i come up to serve
Nice channel. I hope this helps many young players develop their skills.
Great video-You can serve left and right sides!!! BRAVO
Well done - a very well prepared video on serve power - extremely well explained and visualised. The next step would be talking about position of ball toss and use of leg power
I've got the snaaAAAAP! What a feeling! Thanks a lot
Loved this video. Not sure how well I’m going to do putting it into practice, but loved the video anyway.
Simply perfect!! Thank you very much !!
Thank you for watching Roberto!
My serve is improving all the time thank you 🙏
Those serves were bombs. Look so effortless.
Thanks MoonDoy! I was having one of those days where my serve was just "on". My favorite feeling in the world haha 😂
Thanks to you, I now have a better serve.
Good video. Thanks for putting it up.
Awesome!!
Im having problems with my toss. There so inconsistent. Can you elaborate more on the perfect toss postion?
Hi, DMan! Here is a video we've recently created on the serve toss: th-cam.com/video/CWEdccTar68/w-d-xo.html

Awesome.
Good video I can’t wait to try that👍👍💫💫
great tips in a very understandable way of teaching. keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot.
Thank you for watching, Leon!
Yet another winner. You guys rock
Great video. I have a constant problem with not dropping the racquet enough and going straight up to the ball before the drop. I will give this a try.
Great video. Congrats!
Just amazing
Best serve video 😮😮😮
Holy sh** thats a powerful serve
and your accuracy is amazing
Thanks a lot buddy!!
Great vid. You guys are the best…..
Thank you. Great video 🪶✨
I really love this sports and I wish to have my own raquet coach, when I practice this game I always borrowing a raquet on my friend
You guys are the best.
Fantastic video... I use your trick when i play...very useful...great great ..
New subsciber here...from Philippines..ur amazing bro..thank u its really help to improve my serve...🎾🎾🎾
