As of July 2022, 7 of the atp top 10 use a pinpoint stance. I've used both and prefer the pinpoint mainly because it seems to help my timing with the toss and weight transfer. Love your channel's analysis.
I love that your microphone picks up the sound of your serve so well. Such a nice WHACK. Thanks for uploading. I also appreciate that you respond to people's comments.
Great video Simon. I personally use the platform, I am twelve year old and can serve around 90mph on the first serve consistently. I have hit 102 with the pin point stance but I find that I lose consistency and have knee problems. However if you can consistently hit a pin point stance serve, I don’t know why you wouldn’t, It can produce more power. Another thing I noticed was that I have a better kick serve with platform.
4 serves & 4 hits on the cans (with no editing?). I'm impressed - I practice serving the same way but I can only manage about 1 hit in 8 serves on a good day. 😒 Who painted those lines... Call me OCD but I want to go to your court and straighten out the lines, and make the net post vertical. As always, thumbs up for the training, thumbs down to the line painter. 😊
I wish mate, lots of editing haha. I actually found out why the lines are so bent. At the club where this is filmed, at the start of the grass season, the lines are all straight. There is a big hill right behind these courts and when it rains, the water pours down on to the courts and moves the ground below the court slightly so the lines end up being bent.
The mental game and the negative impact it has when playing games. What ways do you use to overcome the fear that we sometimes feel when playing games?
Almost want to use PinPoint on first and Platform on second serve 😂 but that’s not going to help. I used to serve from platform but I’m very tall and my coach just had me change to pinpoint - I still need to see if I want to stick with it. Thanks for this great explanation of what the differences really are
The best way to find out what works best for your game is experimenting with both. Especially in matches, so playing a few matches using pinpoint and then a few with platform and analysing the outcomes. All the best Simon
+1 for Gasquet’s backhand! Also, would be interesting to hear your perspective on why he seems to have changed it. I remember when he first made his breakthrough he had a lot more variation. Sharp angles, heavy topspin, flat 100mph winners from 2 meters behind the baseline... now it feels like he predominately hits loopy BHs and it doesn’t feel like it’s the weapon it once was.
Im a righty but I can serve ambidextrously. I use platfrom when I serve righty and Pinpoint when I serve lefty. It just feels natural for me to do it this way. I struggle with my toss when I serve right handed and find that less movement makes it easier to get a consistent toss. But when I serve left handed, I get to toss with my right hand, which is effortlessly more consistent since its my right hand doing the toss.
I tried the switch from platform to pinpoint recently. However after 3-4 months, went back to platform as my toss was very inconsistent with the pinpoint.
For some reason, the pinpoint helps guide me through the serving motion because I seem to time other parts of the serve with when I bring my feet together. Idk, it just made more sense to me
That's good Gabriel, some players really benefit more from one stance over the other. Thanks for tuning in. Any videos you'd like to see from us in the near future? All the best Simon
I'll have to catch up and watch all your videos first! Your guys' stuff definitely helped get me to start playing last year, thanks so much for making these!
I've always wondered if one could utilize both with a platform stance starting out, moving into a half pinpoint stance on the drive upward. By half pinpoint, I mean not bringing the R foot all the way to the left foot. But bringing it in only about halfway. Giving weight transfer and improved stability. Just a thought
Interesting analysis... The vast majority of the shorter players I can think of (Diego Schwarztman, Olivier Rochus, Simona Halep, David Ferrer, Lleyton Hewitt) seem to have pinpoint stances. As a shorter player myself, I thought pinpoint was the way to go. Perhaps platform works best for those of average height and pinpoint for extremes? Can you think of any other advantages shorter single players might prefer pinpoint?
Pinpoint is the most commonly used stance on tour for sure, however, it's interesting that 6/10 top ten pros use platform. I think the main reason so many pros use the pinpoint is because of the weight shift and the effortless power you get with the transfer of energy.
Thanks for watching, that's true for many players but then the back leg doesn't drive as well normally. Any lessons you want to see from us in 2020? All the best Simon

Is it common with the platform stance to fall to the left on serve? Specifically after the hit when the left foot extends forward to catch the body. Fed does it in your example clip. I thought it was a personal issue because my weight wasn’t driving up as much as it should or the right leg wasn’t extending properly to counterbalance, but seeing Fed has me wondering.
It all depends on how you position your back foot. Federer changes his foot positioning depending on the serve he's going for. If the back foot is quite far to the left of the body line, it can drag the player to the left after contact.
Simon, would you consider Roddicks/Early days Monfils serving motion as platform or a stationary pinpoint? Great video as always and thanks in advance.
I call the Roddick and early days Monfils stance - the hybrid stance, wide pinpoint/narrow platform. Thank you for watching, Are there any videos you'd like to see from us in the near future? All the best Simon
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial I guess it just doesn't feel fully natural to me. A large part of it is because I like to come in to the net, so I'm instinctively always looking to come forward. When I tried the platform stance, it felt like my body was moving more upwards when I wanted to be moving forwards.thibking about it too, the rocking motion I get with the pinpoint motion is a big part of the rhythm of my serve
Have you thought playing a m15 qualy just to know if you can get that precious atp point (i think so). Or were you already professional in the past? Sorry for the bad english.
I competed at Futures level in the past, managed to qualify for a few events but lost in the first round against players between 200-400 ATP. I think often about playing a few more events but it's so time-consuming and my focus right now is TTT.
Hey simon i noticed that your forehand takeback is quite direct towards the back of the fence. I was wondering whether or not if you done a circular takeback and then point the racquet face towards the back fence, would it be better in your opinion?
My forehand is compact, which suits my style of hitting on the rise and staying close to the baseline. A bigger loop would make that style harder to do, as the bigger loop requires time, on clay it would work but not on faster courts or indoors. All the best Simon
I know its difficult to give tips without seeing the player, but i cant make a decision between pin point and platform, im 5,6, so i need consistency and spin in my serves, im righty but my dominant leg is the left, i have strong legs, pin point feels better for me as i dont like to jump a lot and i feel i use better my body, also better rythm but my toss is worse with it, i also feel that if i trained platform enough i could have a better second serve and that would be huge for me, im not old and i can learn, but i cant make a decision about it, theres something you could say to guide me besides what is said in the video? Which i liked a lot btw
Do you have any thoughts on Grigor Dimitrov's service action by the way? I've heard a lot of commentators talking about how there's a glitch in it somewhere and how he loses power as a result. It looks almost like he might take the platform motion a bit too far so that the other bits of his serve don't fully sync with it.
Dimitrov has a very long motion, with his arm slowing down when he starts the lift. He's tried to copy Federer's motion but it hasn't worked for him. If I were to coach him, I'd do two things: 1. Speed up the swing, with no breaks along the way so his arm is building up speed right from the start 2. Take him away from all the sexy women he's around, try to get him focused on his craft only. Woman weaken legs, as Mickey said.
@@josephwesthill2174 I can't say that for sure, but he looks like a bit of a playboy. I know he works his ass off in training, but he seems to have other interests away from the court that distracts him. Look at Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray when he was at the top, they all have long term girlfriends or are married. They then focus on the craft at hand. Dating and looking for new girlfriends is taxing on the mind, your focus is elsewhere. Same is true in many other sports, like Mickey said in Rocky!
It all depends on the player, some prefer the pinpoint, others the platform. Experiment with both and see which one works better for you Are there any lessons you would like to see in the near future? All the best Simon
I switched to pinpoint stance few years ago, feel the added power, but my right foot (righty player) is still coming to far front of my left foot. I struggled with this mistake, if you have an advice or comment about this common mistake..

Looks like a very effective weapon from both stances . The biggest concern in my game at the minute is wether to switch from natural eastern grip to semi - western . I am 6'5 and have power , but often hit the ball long with eastern grip . But as I have not grown up with SW grip I'm finding transition difficult. I know you have a few videos explaining differences between two so will look over them again. Thanks for all your advice on your channel, it has helped a lot :) Ollie

Is that not a foot fault at 2:39?
Yes, it is, however he's training so it doesn't really matter
Um isn’t Zverev taller than Tsitsipas?
Yes Zverev is taller, but I said that Tsitsipas was the tallest player in the top 10 who uses the platform stance, not in general.

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial sorry it's some compliments for you in my mother tongue....... sorry for that...can you please do a video on how to do a good second serve in tennis

Interesting
The pinpoint looks a little bit girly like riding a bicycle sideways. 😂
