Do you want a serve that is a lethal weapon instead of a blunt knife?

Now is your chance to build a killer serve based on the techniques of "Modern Tennis."

With our extensive guide, which includes more than 82 videos, you will soon be well on your way to your dream serve!

The serve has changed, and so must you if you want to keep up!

The word “tennis” comes from the French "Tenez," which is an instruction to receive.

Today, the biggest serves in the game do not instruct the opponent to receive, but rather to hope and pray.

Andy Roddick certainly does not instruct anyone to “receive” his serve.

He simply expects them to be dominated by it.

But how is your serve?

Does it resemble the gentle delivery from the early days of tennis, or is it more like the powerful statements delivered by Andy Roddick and Venus Williams?

Do you try and hit powerful first serves, and make too many double faults? Is your second serve a slow push that gives your opponent the opportunity to attack?

For many players, the serve remains the most difficult shot in tennis, but it doesn’t have to be!

In this Modern Tennis course - dedicated to the serve - we have identified 4 different stages and 13 different steps that comprise an effective service. And we used 82 videos to represent them!

The four phases of the modern serve

The modern serve can be split into four different phases:

1) Preparation and stance

In this phase,the player’s body and feet find a comfortable and stable position on the court from which to launch a serve.

2) Generation of velocity

This is the phase in which the body creates a kinetic chain that generates tremendous energy – energy that will be imparted onto the ball.

3) Position of impact

In this phase, the racquet strikes the ball, unloading the energy that has been generated in the previous phase.

4) Recovery

After a serve, the player always tries to get into a good position again. Once the service motion has completed, you must be ready to face the next shot from your opponent.

This division of the serve into 4 stages is useful for organizing such a complex stroke into more manageable sections.

However, this is only the beginning of the course, as we will analyze all parts of the serve in detail.
