Hi Simon, this is Martin Caparros. You coached me at David Lloyds RP when I was a small kid. I really enjoy the lessons you gave to me and your videos help to improve. Now I am 11 years old and I live in Singapore. My dad keeps advertising Top Tennis Training channel to everybody here. I just wanted to thank you for all the lessons you gave to me. Let's keep in touch. Martin
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Thank you! Actually I would like to know what keeps one from performing at ~ 80% of one‘s skills? So often, some shots are off or everything feels off. And if it’s really bad, the opponent adds to that by just being very good and you don’t even get into rallies etc. - Guess I‘m not the only one out there feeling like that from time to time.
You spiritual connection with your viewing audience is unbelievably astounding , but your humility, a virtue in very few is comforting . Shhhh that's the sign of competence .
That shoulder over shoulder motion is really important! Also extending the arm as much as possible. Those two things made me improve my serve today. Thank you. Hans
Some useful tips here, I'll be trying the feet and the shoulder rocking. I'm just into the first couple of weeks of this serve so it's proving to be a bit tough. But I'll get there.
Hi Simon, Konnichiwa (hello in Japanese) from Tokyo Japan! This is Marty. Your methodology helps me over Pacific Ocean. Thanks to this video, now I can master the kick serve technique! My kick serve amazed my tennis school coach. Appreciated!
Great video. I watched this to develop a strong 2nd serve, but found the kick serve to be so effective at the USTA 4.0 club level that I often use it as my 1st serve. It really causes a lot of problems for my opponents. Thanks!!
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial I think you have covered pretty much all topics of tennis, especially for someone like me who has just started this sport. Thank you for making all these videos so that we can play this sport in the correct way. The video list is enough for me to learn the sport. In terms of more lessons, I would like to know more about the common injuries of playing tennis and how to prevent them. For example, is it normal to have some knee pain and a sore shoulder the second day? I would also like to hear about the stories about the top tennis training group. Are there any moments or/and anecdotes to share in your career as a player, coach and content creator? What was the most difficult time and how did you overcome or circumvent? In addition, how to choose the rackets and strings (although I think for beginners the rackets do not matter, the techniques do) may be helpful. When we take the demo rackets for play, what should we focus on? What racket do you use and why? All the best, love and respect from Canada :)
Best video I've ever seen on the kick serve. I've struggled physicalyl with this serve - especially with getting some power into it. Simon's tips on the shoulder mechanics really helps. Tony Costa. Tennis Wales Ambassador.
just as your slice serve video is the best, this kick spin serve video is also the best on the internet. The shoulder over shoulder concept to bring the ball down is something that I have never heard of. The feet adjustment is also something that I have never heard about.. I dream about having serves like yours Simon:).
Thanks Simon for the lesson.. i saw the video the other day.. and started hitting at 2 o clock and i was serving much better.. came here to thank you and also revise... ☺️
Simon, Once again simple , logical explanation with lots of clarity ! Thanks. I am going to try the kick serve and will let you know how successful I was. !!
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial honestly, you guys have a bunch of good videos out and I find a lot of what I’m looking for by looking it up on your page. If I think of something I’ll make sure to comment but by the looks of it you guys are making a ton of helpful content. Coming from someone who can’t afford tennis coaching, thanks again to everyone involved in making these videos. You don’t know how much I appreciate them. 🥺😊
Excellent tips and very professional!! don't think I will ever learn that serve. you are amazing teacher. i will try tomorrow .... thank you very much.
Great video, many thanks. As an adult beginner these videos have been absolutely invaluable. Is there any chance you could analyse Dominic Thiem’s kick serve (out wide from the vantage court). I saw during the French he used it to good effect - often as a first serve. He seems to get so much more lateral movement off the court compared to other players. Would be great to hear your thoughts on his kick serve technique. Many thanks. 🎾🎾
I used to have a really good kick serve and I somehow lost it and this helped me a lot especially since I have a flexible back thanks for the advice it helped so much
Nice video. I've developed some shoulder issues in my right shoulder in the rear. I think it's because when I do a kick serve in the power position, I twist a lot which creates a lot of stress on my shoulder instead of the teeter totter motion that you said. I'll give it a whirl next time.
Thanks for the great video Simon :) When I try to hit kick serve the ball spins and it has a good margin over the net, but after the bounce it really sits up instead of kicking, which makes it very easy to attack. Do you have any tips?
Sounds like you need more power on that kick serve so when it bounces it really kicks up. Same technique but with more racket head speed. Good luck and all the best Simon
What about tennis rackets? Is there any talk about it on this superb youtube tennis chanel? (Congrats again, by the way) From what point does an expensive racket - with all its supposedly premium features and specifications - no longer offers benefits to a non-professional tennis player or a medium recreative tennis player? In other words, how good can a good racket make a player or how bad can a bad racket make a player instead? Can we consider that there are bad tenmis rackets at the recreational level nowadays? A lesson about rackets specifications and features would be nice to watch from you too. Thanks a lot.
This is a great addition to the Kick Serve video collection. Your explanation of the shoulders changing position in a seesaw style helped me to improve. Still not getting as much spin as you but improving ... :-) One request: a statement for version 2 - the precise movement of elbow and forearm could maybe be added (can nicely be seen in Djokovic slow mo from the back) - it maybe comes out automatically if you have a natural talented swing but for non-serve-talents like me (applied too much force when starting to learn the serve) it is smth to be consciously controlled. ... ah, one question: what about pronation of forearm- seems to me as if the pronation is only executed half way for a good kick-serve, right? Nobody really mentions this, but I see it in your serve ... great comment about Federer's feet moving - wonder whether he does this consciously ... maybe comes automatically with so much talent?
Hello ,Great Video. Is thereyou can post the video from sideview to show how far your arm goes in front and what is a good drill to quickly move it sideways ? Thanks
Hello, Is that the serve blueprint or master your serve ? I am unable to see those under free membership..is there a different paid course i should be looking at ? Thanks
Hi yes both courses we cover the kick serve but the Master Your Serve course is more technical in terms of drills. You can watch the free videos here - www.top-tennis-training.com/serve-course/
Awesome tutorial. I was out in the backyard practicing this arvo, ha. Thanks! ps. You hit a great serve mate - flat serve or that kicker is nasty high and wide. Andy, Brisbane.🏆
For the kick serve down the T on the deuce side, similar as these tips but just really focus on staying side on for as long as you can. Thanks for watching. All the best Simon
Hey Simon, I’ve been working on kick serves for a couple days now and they have decent kick but are 80-90% are going into the net or short of the net, any idea how to fix this?
I had to have rotator cuff surgery and had a detached bicep muscle. and a bone spur removed in my right shoulder this past January. The surgery was successful, I have been able to play 3 sets with no shoulder pain. But the effects on my 55 year year old body, due to being immobilized for almost 5 months have left me less flexible. The adjustments you mentioned with the feet were very helpful in getting more topspin kick on my serves. My main partner for tennis is 20 years my junior and moves like Djokovic, I need as many free points from my serve as I can get. Your videos helped with that. Cannot wait til Sunday morning's match this week. I went out and hit about 200 serves last night and I noticed more drop and jump as I worked on the swing path. Thanks again!
Thanks for the kick serve guide !!! I managed to pull it off and me just starting tennis some days ago ! One question though, If one is standing near the right side of the court to serve, do we hit the ball angle down towards to left side ?
It would be the same technique as a normal kick serve but you have to really stay sideways for it to go down the T. Imagine staying side on until after the ball has left your strings and then some. Thanks for watching All the best Simon
A good server will be able to hit different serves with the different ball tosses/foot positioning. They might make it look like they will hit a slice serve then hit a flat serve, or look like a kick serve is coming then flatten out the strings and change the spin/direction.
Sure..still that can give me some kind of hint...I wonder if Roger knows he moves his feet while serving. I think Becker sticks his tongue out to the direction he serves to, no one picked that up but Agassi. He never told Becker that until they retired I guess...
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial thanks for your reply, what a pity - it looks awesome. Began Tennis before corona and got better very quick, now I liked to have such a racket. Best Regards from Germany, nd keep up the great videos
Thanks for the video it's great as usual! I was just wondering (at the end of the video) when you show the movement if we should let the right arm finishing the movement on the left part of the boy...as I can see from the video that after hitting the ball you keep your elbow up. Thanks for any help you can provide! :)
You can test it out and see if it helps you. Some players prefer finishing on the right side (Sampras style) and other players benefit more from a normal finish
Hey Simon, my kick serve is not consistent, some times i get that beautiful sound and serve is perfect and some times the ball slices or goes flat. I think the reason is inconsistent toss. Please make a video and please give us drills to perfect the toss for each serve variation. Thank you.

Can you do a video on aiming the kick serve to the deuce side? Almost every video shows the ad side and I have trouble aiming on the deuce points. When I try to hit a kick down the T often times I either miss it wide or I go too much to the body/forehand.
Hi Simon, been a fan of your channel for a while...I have a quick question about the serving motion of you and Alex that I noticed after showing the brief demonstration at the end. I noticed that you arrive a bit earlier than Alex to the trophy holding position when you serve and Alex's motion waits a bit longer on the start to get a more fluid motion before the impact. Any reasons to choose which over which? My first thought is that unless you can master the longer swing, the shorter would be more consistent and safer... Thanks a lot! from S.Korea -John
I think it's just a personal option, Alex likes that slower style whereas I like the faster motion. Experiment and see what works best for you All the best Simon
Is the stance, backswing and setup the same on Deuce and Ad Court ? The reason I’m asking is, I have excellent power, net clearance and bounce on the deuce court but I lack a tad bit of power on the Ad court, although the angle and bounce is saving me for the time being. Could you suggest something to add power. Cheers
i just saw a video of you that you saying that the end of the motion should end in the left pocket. why did you stop in the middle of the motion and not letting the arm relax?
For most serves you finish by the left pocket (if right handed) but for the kick serve you try to finish more on the right side as the swingpath is very different. Everything is explained in this video
volley and Kick Service very well explained - do you offer online video training? I mean, i send tennis videos of myself and you make online coaching? best wishes from Germany Marc
The video crops off the most important part - the contact of the racquet with the ball; camera work is inadequate; can the camera be a bit further back to show the contact; more slow motion and close up footage of the contact will help as well
Excellent video as always. This is the only shot I can’t really hit. I’m a 6.2-7.2 player. I’ve got away without it so far but as I’m coming up against better players I really need to learn a decent kick serve. I’m convinced I’m doing the correct action but it always ends up more of a slice serve!? Very frustrating. I think having watched this it maybe that my shoulders open out too soon which turns it into more of a slice?!
Yes if the shoulders open too early it will be very hard to kick the serve. Try serving slower but stay side on the entire motion and finish with the shoulders still sideways. All the best Simon
Any other drill or check points to avoid opening up while hitting the kick serve. As I find it very hard to stop that for happening & due to which my shoulders are square to the net while I'm hitting the server.

Top Tennis Training - can you show us how to hit kick serve on the deuce side ?
It would be the same technique as a normal kick serve but you have to really stay sideways for it to go down the T.
Imagine staying side on until after the ball has left your strings and then some.

So now man can read where the serve goes by watching the position of the feet, besides the ball toss and hips! Thank you.
A good server will be able to hit different serves with the different ball tosses/foot positioning.
They might make it look like they will hit a slice serve then hit a flat serve, or look like a kick serve is coming then flatten out the strings and change the spin/direction.
Sure..still that can give me some kind of hint...I wonder if Roger knows he moves his feet while serving. I think Becker sticks his tongue out to the direction he serves to, no one picked that up but Agassi. He never told Becker that until they retired I guess...
Agassi was clever. It's funny that even top pros/legends give away little hints like that
Indeed.....
Good lesson!

I think it's just a personal option, Alex likes that slower style whereas I like the faster motion.
Experiment and see what works best for you

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Thank you!!
Great lesson, Simon!
Thanks for watching
Is the stance, backswing and setup the same on Deuce and Ad Court ? The reason I’m asking is, I have excellent power, net clearance and bounce on the deuce court but I lack a tad bit of power on the Ad court, although the angle and bounce is saving me for the time being. Could you suggest something to add power. Cheers
Focus on being more explosive with the leg drive and creating good acceleration but from left to right, in line with the baseline.
All the best

Great tips!
Glad it was helpful!
i just saw a video of you that you saying that the end of the motion should end in the left pocket. why did you stop in the middle of the motion and not letting the arm relax?
For most serves you finish by the left pocket (if right handed) but for the kick serve you try to finish more on the right side as the swingpath is very different. Everything is explained in this video
Amazing tips!
Can't wait to try. Thanks Simon!

good stuff my friend
Thank you 🙏
volley and Kick Service very well explained - do you offer online video training? I mean, i send tennis videos of myself and you make online coaching? best wishes from Germany Marc
I wonder whether I can kneel down a little bit for hitting my one handed backhand. By doing that, I have much better control for hitting the balls.
Absolutely
wow, the greatest kick server on TH-cam
Many thanks 🙏
The video crops off the most important part - the contact of the racquet with the ball; camera work is inadequate; can the camera be a bit further back to show the contact; more slow motion and close up footage of the contact will help as well
Here is our newest serve video that shows slow motion kick serves, slice serves and flat serves - th-cam.com/video/aFwFklEQrf0/w-d-xo.html
Should the racquet angle be slightly closed on contact?
Experiment with it, the main thing is the swing path during the contact zone
Very good video
Thank you for the support 🙏

Excellent video as always. This is the only shot I can’t really hit. I’m a 6.2-7.2 player. I’ve got away without it so far but as I’m coming up against better players I really need to learn a decent kick serve. I’m convinced I’m doing the correct action but it always ends up more of a slice serve!? Very frustrating. I think having watched this it maybe that my shoulders open out too soon which turns it into more of a slice?!
Yes if the shoulders open too early it will be very hard to kick the serve. Try serving slower but stay side on the entire motion and finish with the shoulders still sideways.
All the best
Simon
What's the all white racket and string setup? V cool 😎
It’s a prototype frame with poly strings 👍
Great video!! May i ask u if i can send to u a video of me playing tennis? Thanks
Hi Mateo, yes you can of course. Our email is toptennistraining@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks for watching Jeff
Are there any lessons you would like to see in the near future?
Simon
Any other drill or check points to avoid opening up while hitting the kick serve. As I find it very hard to stop that for happening & due to which my shoulders are square to the net while I'm hitting the server.
thanks for the great video
Thank you for watching.
All the best
Simon
really nice

What strings are those? I'm guessing it's multi, from the fraying
Do we have to throw the ball higher than the flat serve or same?
The same but let it drop more for the kick serve
