    Like "Hungary" said below, the biggest advantage of the drop serve is that you can get more speed and spin on the serve by standing well back of the service line, leaning forward and dropping the ball as far in front of you as possible and then taking a full step -- or two! -- into the ball as you wind up your swing. Then it's just like hitting any slow-coming forehand from the baseline. Handball and racquetball servers try to do the same, but they can't start as far back, because it's a foot fault for them to start their motion behind the back line of the service box. Pickleball has no back service line -- except a fence that might be back there.

    Not sure if what you said about foot placement is exactly right?
    New 4.a.2
    The moment the ball is served:
    • at least one foot must be on the playing surface behind the baseline
    • neither of the server’s feet may touch the court on or inside the baseline
    • neither of the server’s feet may touch outside the imaginary extensions of the
    sideline or centerline.
    And 4.A.8.A
    The rules for feet placement (4.A.2 and 4.L) still apply
    I don't see 4.L in the change document which is what I'm looking at, but I take these to mean you can take a big step forward on to the court as long as you don't actually land in the court until after you strike the ball? That's what I've been doing with both types of serves.
    Thanks for the video.

    • @primetimepickleball
      @primetimepickleball  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, Jeff, I guess technically one foot can be off of the ground, during contact. Although to easily avoid this, you should have both feet planted behind the baseline at contact. Using momentum on your serve is crucial, which is why most players with aggressive serves end up in the court after the serve.

    Appreciate the lesson here. I've not used the drop serve yet as I feel more comfortable hitting it from the hand but I'll give it a try. One question - you do a good job of outlining the three key rules of the serve, but I've often heard that the serve cannot be from the "side", meaning your paddle must come up and not across. Someone once used the image of a bowler bringing their hand "up". Any thoughts on that dimension of side vs. under? Thank you for the insights!

    • @primetimepickleball
      @primetimepickleball  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      On the drop serve you do not have to hit from low to high. Because of this you can impart heavy slice on the drop serve since you can contact on a downward trajectory. On the traditional serve you must still hit low to high.

    A few question on the Navratil Serve. I get the concept behind the serve. Just wondering on the practicality of it.
    Do you notice that much more kick, or would you say it's negligible?
    Also, how much spin are you imparting on the ball on the toss? Like is it just a gentle spin to just get the ball spinning a little, or are you trying to get as much spin as you can on the toss?

    • @primetimepickleball
      @primetimepickleball  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you don’t have a good serve without spinning the ball, then you shouldn’t be trying it out. Now if you have a great serve already and you can hit it consistently, this is something you can try out. You may not be able to tell in the video, but I’m putting a LOT of spin on the ball. Actually I’m putting the most that I possibly can. Like I say in the video, it does affect the ball off of the paddle, and is something worth experimenting with.

  • @Dan-lu7vi
    @Dan-lu7vi 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    When you said you had a new serve, I was honestly expecting to see a serve I used to practice. I would basically throw the ball down as hard as I could. The timing is a bit weird but I got it down. I found that you have to twist you hips and start your swing before you slam the ball down. I don’t think it’s worth trying to explain the technique right now, but there’s a way to keep the motion fluid and consistent. I never really did it in doubles because the extra speed (if any) isn’t worth the extra effort and risk.
    What are your thoughts on all of these serving rules? Do you think it would be better (even just at the highest level) if you could serve however you want? You can still use underhanded serving rules for certain age groups or during casual pick up games, but I think faster serves would be more exciting for spectators.

    • @primetimepickleball
      @primetimepickleball  3 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @primetimepickleball
      @primetimepickleball  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      With a drop serve, you are allowed to hit with a high to low motion so you can hit heavy underspin with it. With a traditional toss, you must swing low to high so heavy underspin is not possible. Some people find it easier to hit off the bounce. It doesn't give you any more or less spin or speed otherwise, that's all about your swing. If you watch pro tournaments, none of the pros use the drop serve.

    Word play, or changing, altering or manipulating a traditional meaning or ordinary understanding of a word to suit ones purpose is a very common practice. Remember "alternate facts"?
    Before you start criticizing me and making derogatory comments please do the following.
    1. Check several dictionary definitions of "drop" or "to drop".
    2. Give a ball or some other item to 10 friends or family and ask them to "drop" the item. Observe and track how many propel the item upwards, spin or no spin, as a component of "the drop".

      You can propel it up on the traditional serve. You have to let it drop from your hand on the drop serve. No propulsion. Seems to me it's dropped on all the drop serves. Not sure I'm seeing what you are on the serve.
