•
After tossing, lift your racket up to chest level and have the strings facing down
•
Bring your racket in over your head and knock off a birthday hat

How To Serve Like Roger Federer and Naomi Osaka
Excellent footage of Fed and Osaka. My friend was on the court and having difficulty knocking off the party hat. I then remembered the phrase "CHIN UP" . If you look at the footage both players bend their heads backwards so that their CHIN IS POINTING UPWARD. This makes it easier to knock off the party hat. Another important aspect is how they both bend their knees down and outward to make it easier to get that CHIN UP. Thanks Ryan for putting together that footage and your palm down drill. Great Stuff!
Wow thank you so much!!! Appreciate the support!!0
I really love your enthusiasm and communication! I just feel positive vibes just seeing you and your teaching of all these tennis skills!
Your presentation skills alone are amazing. I am mainly working on my serve, one-handed backhand, and doubles “strategy.” Your videos have helped. I asked the head pro at the tennis club about taking a lesson, and he replied (partly because of my age) “just keep doing what you’re doing.” I’ll keep the $90 he charges per hour for a lesson, and continue watching your videos.
Ryan: I’ve started playing tenis after more than 30 years (I was a child) and I had to start almost from scratch. I have been watching your videos daily, some of them, more than twice, even 3 times and make some practice at home. Then, go to the court and start practicing under real conditions. I am having HUGE evolution. My player partners say I’m getting a very solid backhand. I have to improve a lot my forehand control. I didn’t have a clue of how to serve.l but now, I’m starting to serve like you teach. I’m doing the party hat movement in my last videos, but I am very inconsistent yet. Keep practicing. I will send you a video. Thanks for your videos, the best by far in all the internet. Keep going please! Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽 city.
I looked at this yesterday and went on the court a couple of hours ago and practiced this motion , especially the right arm motion and path from trophy pose and how the racquet head travels over my head.. I think that’s a point to emphasize anyone watching .. wow !! Couldn’t miss a serve.. played 2 sets 2 double faults.. I’m a 4.5 player so not a novice , but always struggled with serve consistency in matches.. thanks for taking the time to do this, best serving instructions... wish I learned this xx years ago.. but at least I can teach my kid the right way.
Another great video analysis, Ryan. I found your addition of the "circular motion" (racquet face down) very helpful (haven't heard that one before but have applied your "birthday hat" technique to great effect). Thanks!
Having the The mental visual of knocking off the hat while going through the serve motion does help. I visualize the top "tip" of the hat as my target swing path.
The service motion is so fast slow motion is the only way to study technique. You nailed this !!! Well done, coach.
Hey thanks so much J!! Appreciate you.
So good ! Very easy to understand.
Glad the video was helpful! Good luck! You got this!
Thank you so much!
Love those two and their serves!!! More birthday hats--I'm working on it everyday...
英語ですが、なんとなくわかった気がします！ありがとう！Thx😽
Another great video Ryan!
Thank you so much David!!
Ryan, I've learned from you about coiling, tossing, and strings down close to the scalp racquet head take back. It's starting to sink in to my mid-brain. What doesn't seem to be happening is improvement in the next set of motions to develop increased up and forward racquet speed and controlled contact with the ball. Maybe two minutes on those would help. BTW, I know you wore that shirt Tuesday and can prove it.
Haha You caught me Steve. Thanks so much and I’m glad the video is helping improve your serve a bit. I’ll be sure to focus on pronation a little more in an upcoming video. Thanks again.
Great tip as always Ryan. That's the #1 power killer for us 3.0 , 3.5 rec players. Good drill we can do at home. 🎾👏👍
Thanks Jose! So glad you liked the video and drills!!
I've tried the "birthday hat" move based on your earlier video a couple days ago in my club league (two sets against two different 4.0 opponents). I introduced this without practicing it, just to see if I could do it, but I was suddenly serving bombs. I normally serve around 90mph, but I think I gained 10mph easy. My first opponent was constantly late. In my second match, I suddenly lost the coordination and had to go back to my previous motion. But as soon as I have time to practice it, I'm just going to work it in stably.
Really enjoy your videos and your tips are outstanding. The palm down, b-day hat, circular path, etc.
has made a difference in my serve! Is the circular path different for the kick serve?
Good find Ryan - PTR tennis Pro
Never heard this one before. Just ordered some birthday hats. Can’t wait to try it! Thanks for the clear presentation.
Happy to help Joel!! Keep me posted!!
Just tried it out and the service motion already feels so much easier. Key word for me is the "CIRCULAR" motion over the head
So Sympathic this dude. Thank you! I love you and your videos!!! Keep going, dude!!! 🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾💣💣🎾🎾
Wow John. You’re the best my friend. I’ll keep making them! What video topics help you the most?
@@2MinuteTennis at the moment I’m struggling with my serve and with my forehead I want it smooth like Roger Federer. Effortless. Beauty.
I keep practising I keep practising.
But your advices, no trainer told me.
Without your videos I would not know what I have to change.
The video with the party head is really helpful.
Of course I have videos from myself.
If you want I can send you that? . Maybe you will find another tips and tricks for me. My one backhand is really fine.
And for the future videos about the leg work would be nice to.
hi ryan. great video. i’m “stuck” in a motion where the strings do face down through most of my swing and have trouble hitting up. how do you get from palm down at chest height to passing over your head with palm facing away from you?
Cool advice. Never thought about that before.
So glad you liked the video Stanley!!
Hi Ryan. Great instructions. Could you give a detailed explanation of your wrist position when you take the racquet back. Your wrist appears to be somewhat bent downwards. It could be important but I would like to know more. Thanks.
OMG!!! I'm actually practicing this right now and I didn't even know that I was doing it right.
Hey that’s great!! So glad you’re doing it already!
Awesome man!
Thanks Tyler. Appreciate it!!
Your pronunciation is so clear that I can catch what you say even though I am not an English speaker 😳
Thanks for the great videos!!
I like your hat 🤣
Hi Ryan, great video!!
Would you recommend teaching this kind of motion when your player is a complete beginner.
No. Too complicated for a beginner. Just get them having fun and getting the serve in the box. After they get a very basic motion, then you can teach a more advanced serve.
Hi Ryan, What kind of device or app you would recommend to check our serving speed ? Not too fancy though. Thanks!
This gives me the mental picture I needed.
I’m so glad to hear that. Thanks so much!!!
So good
Hey thanks so much!!! Appreciate the support!!
It works!!! Seeing is believing
Yes! People believe what they see...not what they hear!! Thanks!!
many thanks, Ryan. Don't know Roger or Naomi unfortunately, but was very struck by the size of your racket. Is that new and are rackets destined to get bigger and bigger?
I tried this technique today with my tennis sensor, and I increased my serve swing speed by 5km/h. Many thanks for this tip.
Wow that’s great!! Thanks for letting me know!!!
How you measure the speed?
@@vassilisk.5067 I used the Coollang Smart Tennis Sensor attached to the racquet handle - the readings were transmitted to the app on my smartphone.
bedst and clearest explanation I have ever seen..You could say You are making an S when you are hidding the top of your birdsday of.Many coaches leard there students to pull there
students pull/droar there racket to fare back with a stragt arm which make a hinch / stop in there serv motion. and they don"t let there palm stay down long enough. Your (and Rogers
way) Secure that your swinning insigt out just before impact wich gives the ball alittle bit of spin and makes the ball hit the box much more safely. (?) Thanks and greetings from Olaf Denmark.
Yes! You’re right!! And thanks for the support!!
Loved the video! Do you use that same motion when hitting an overhead?
Yes. Same motion. Thanks!!
You have definitely helped my serve. It is still a work in progress for me but you got me over the hump. Any tricks on a consistent toss?
Thanks so much. I just uploaded a toss video within the last week. Definitely check it out and let me know your thoughts.
th-cam.com/video/gyQekKP8F5A/w-d-xo.html here’s the toss video
You are super talented at communication.
Thank you Harry so much!! So kind of you to say that. 😊🎾👍
Right at 1:39 Roger reaches what is called a trophy pose, with the tip of the racket pointing up to the sky and then starts to make a proper racket drop (hitting his "birthday hat"). Osaka does the same at 1:51.
You are correct! Thanks so much!!
What you say is all perfect till to the trophy position, however there is an unexplained key concept. Much of the power comes from the inner shoulder rotation, which many confuse with pronation. The drive of the legs serves to rotate the internal shoulder in the opposite direction. If you look at Roger, the racquet face turns upward to the sky, it does not remain palm down, because the inner shoulder must be loaded like a spring. In Federer's movement, the racket, while remaining close to the head probably does not touch the birthday hat because the rotation plane is different. Without the inner shoulder rotation it is impossible to serve at 200 km/h
Thank for your comments Alex. Very much appreciated. 😊🎾👍
very good explanation gr ftom holland
Thank you very much!!!
At what point of the circular swing should you let the body take over? Is it once the racquets gets above the head, I assume the racquet dropping and the arm cocking is a side affect of the body driving upwards not a deliberate movement
It’s important to drive the legs up as you hit the birthday hat. That maximizes the racket drop and circle that created. Thanks!!
Brilliant video. What about padel? Do you know Padel? To Smash is the same??
Thanks!!
Thanks so much! No. I know nothing about Padel. Never played it or even seen it played. But, I’d imagine it’s the same. Thanks!!
@@2MinuteTennis
It is an sport like tenis, but you play inside of Several glass walls and with different racket. With the smash x3 the ball goes up after touch the wall and finally fall out of the court. I think the technique is similar to service in tenis, isn't it???. Here I give you an example in slow motion. I wonder if i could apply the same principles of tennis that you explain so clearly.
th-cam.com/video/yRiT052FmVw/w-d-xo.html
Another example of a great player: instagram.com/p/CLmVQzNI534/?igshid=ywe7u6y0wv9b
What if I want to serve like Medvedev when he steamrolled Tsistipas?
Hi Ryan, which media player do you use to do this analysis?
I'm having some trouble to find a good one for playing my recordings.
Hi from Brazil.
Hi Gustavo! I use a phone app called Coach’s eye. It’s the best on the market in my opinion.
@@2MinuteTennis Thanks Ryan, do you know any similar desktop app for this?
I believe Coach’s eye has a desktop version. If not, just use your phone then transfer. Thanks!!
Good way to get a concussion!
I ok oh if you hit yourself. And people don’t hit themselves trying this. 😊🎾👍
How many times did he say birthday hat? Ok I’ll try it.
where i can send you my bill when i got a broken noose trying to do this lol
Naomi has such a smooth serve
Hey coach if I do a low Toss I don’t have time to hit the ball , by the time I try to hit it’s too late and I get jammed
I am not Coach but tennis video has proven a player can go from the palm down position in this video to contact and the ball will drop about 1 inch. You may simply be tossing below your contact point but if you get the ball up to the contact point or just a few inches above, you CAN get from palm down to contact very quickly. Try putting your racket up to the contact position and looking at it. Then when you serve, toss into the visual image of your contact point.
Great advice!! Thanks son much!!
Don’t feel like you have to toss super low. As long as you only toss about 1 foot higher than you can reach when stretched up to contact is fine.
You need to find a rhythm and timing that suits your toss height. If you can't, then toss a bit higher each time until you find that perfect height for your rhythm.
Is there a chance or danger that you can hit your head in the process especially if your swing is faster?
This is totally my fear! Lol...i would whack my own head. 😅
Too bad that I can’t practice this new serving on court because our tennis court is covered by tons of snow! Thanks anyway!
Ryan,what is your family name?
I would like to refer some I’m my tennis friend to your site.
I know,you always say Ryan.2minutetennis.
Haha thanks so much!! My name is Ryan Reidy. Pronounced like “Reid” the name. Then y (sounds like an e) at the end. Two syllables. Thank you for asking!!
3:00
I'll see you at the AO 22 after this, hope I don't run into Roger
Haha I hope so! Thanks Justin!
The timing is both crucial and difficult. We have to time it for bending legs, coiling and exploding while the whole elbow, shoulder, wrist motion is happening, not in steps. The misconception it took me long to discover is the "stopping" part of trophy position. It just happens in fractions of second during the whole motion (the "stop" actually happens when players release the ball and they are fully elongated upwards before starting the bending as ball travels upwards). So much timing...but thanks to this kind of videos, thanks man, I realize more the actual flow of things. A good warm up is always handy...lol.
(Maybe a video of things to drill to have the final motion flowing?)
Good, funny and useful advice, but the place inside the house, (you without shoes!!!), is not good to watch!
I understand. And I agree. But with my kids, wife, my 6 day per week teaching job, etc. doing the video in my basement (at 11:30pm) was the best I could do. I’m trying to make a ton of content and squeeze in the production of it into the little cracks of time I can find. Sorry you didn’t like the location. I’m trying my best. Have a good weekend. 😊🎾👍
Great tip except the waiter tray example you demonstrate is terrible and should never be taught. Why not show the motion where the edge of the racquet is perpendicular to the ground & the strings are facing right/left which is still used by many pros.
Hmmmm why not film in a tennis court instead instead inside of your house?
Good question. With My lesson schedule, kids, wife, house, etc. all I could do was film in my basement. But whether I’m standing on a tennis court or standing on carpet in my basement, my words are the same. The improvement of the people watching my videos doesn’t change whether I’m on court or filming in my basement at 11pm at night. 🎾😊👍
I know Osaka has huge serve but I don’t wanna learn to serve like her. Lol
Do you like fed’s serve?
@@2MinuteTennis Yes 👍
Im just not a fan of Osaka but she does have a good serving motion we all can learn from. Btw, I learn a lot from your tennis instruction and I enjoy it. Thanks again
This is wrong! He gets few things right but then his demonstration is all wrong,, there is no chest up at all, there is no bow and arrow posture, no bend, just compare what Federer and Osaka do - to what he does. Does that look the same or even close? If you follow his advice, knocking birthday hat while standing completely upright - it would be impossible to achieve proper racquet drop. He is one of those youtube tennis coaches that will totally mess up your serve if you listen to him. Unsubscribe and avoid...
Hi Goran. Thanks for the comments! 😊🎾👍
He wasn't going through the entire serve motion just a couple of points. He obviously knows and has shown in other videos the additional check points you must hit in order to serve well.
Hi Ryan. Great instructions. Could you give a detailed explanation of your wrist position when you take the racquet back. Your wrist appears to be somewhat bent downwards. It could be important but I would like to know more. Thanks.
