So here you are learning to play tennis and you’ve reached the serve. You’ve heard ALL about the difficulties & importance of the serve. And it really IS an important tennis shot. What makes it difficult for beginners is using the continental grip. Most beginners try to pull a fast one & revert back to the forehand eastern grip. Don’t do it! You’ll put yourself in a straight jacket out the gate! If you use the wrong grip you’ll have zero variety, lack power and won’t have as much fun! Why? Because all the hype around how hard the serve is will come true. Build your beginner serve using the continental grip, simple progressions, a dose of patience, and you’ll be great!
If you’re going to play tennis with other people you’re going to have to serve. Put the idea of power aside for now and let’s get you comfortable building a consistent & reliable serve. {Serve rules included}
