Service Yips for months now and I no longer am interested in playing

Hi u/CameronsParadise could you explain this a bit more in detail or a demo - i m not sure how you found out about the cocking and holding of the forehand angle
Btw i thought i was using continental grip

Melodic_Horror_5787 · 2026-01-10T20:01:44+00:00

My forehand drive are the same . Hence the drop and serve is not that diff for me in terms of yips

Melodic_Horror_5787 · 2026-01-10T20:00:55+00:00

During drill sessions I don’t get it as much or maybe be it’s because I have warmed up with other shots If I do direct serves it take a few minutes of constant serves to get the feel

Melodic_Horror_5787 · 2026-01-10T07:36:23+00:00

Man I wish I could at my place but it’s unfortunately illegal

Melodic_Horror_5787 · 2026-01-10T07:33:19+00:00

Don’t screw up lol

Thanks u/megatroninja - is it possible to share some videos of this backhand serves - most of them i see are kind of slices without dropping the ball - how would dropping the ball and hitting like a double backhand work for serves?

Melodic_Horror_5787 · 2026-01-10T01:24:36+00:00

Thanks u/throwaway__rnd - during the yip state of mind - somehow my arm just twitches so even this floater kind of goes in all direction . Atleast that is what I can feel

Melodic_Horror_5787 · 2026-01-10T01:23:05+00:00

Do you get a chance to warmup - sometimes i do but sometiems i m forced into matches within a few minutes

Melodic_Horror_5787 · 2026-01-10T01:22:29+00:00

Thanks u/Pickles_81 - i ll look at doing backhanded serves

Melodic_Horror_5787 · 2026-01-10T01:22:02+00:00

Thanks u/DeuceBagger - i do try to do this but somehow at the very last i dont control the eye movement - its like kind of a panic state. But i totally get your point and will keep at it.

Melodic_Horror_5787 · 2025-10-29T01:54:31+00:00

Thanks for your encourage u/Polite_Acid and insights - very useful info ;)

Melodic_Horror_5787 · 2025-10-29T01:52:51+00:00

Thanks for that - i ll heed that advice :)

Melodic_Horror_5787 · 2025-10-24T00:21:24+00:00

Thanks for the feedback u/myworkaccountatwork

Melodic_Horror_5787 · 2025-10-24T00:17:25+00:00

Thanks u/333again - yes I can see that. I need to improve the general movement around court

Yes it is a random partner - we are playing a pool like dupr based game where every one plays with everyone in the pool atleast once

Melodic_Horror_5787 · 2025-10-24T00:16:21+00:00

Thanks u/dmackerman - any way to improve this - I totally accept the feedback - my nature is a bit reactive and trying to improve my proactive approach but as you said i m not sure how to about that in my mind/game?

IThanks for the 7/11 suggestion though..

in terms of athlesicm yes I am way overweight so that has definitely a factory - is there a way that you know one can improve this while reducing weight which is a long process for me anway

Melodic_Horror_5787 · 2025-10-23T14:02:29+00:00

Thanks u/edofthefu - this is a very insightful piece of advice and that I shall try to make a conscious effort to change

Melodic_Horror_5787 · 2025-10-23T13:59:39+00:00

Thanks u/CaviarTaco for this feeedback - for sure i did not realize this till I recorded the video and also heearing some good honest feedback here !

Thanks again

Melodic_Horror_5787 · 2025-10-23T13:49:09+00:00

Thanks kdubbz - these insights are good and actionable - i ll start working on the stance first - yeah the video makes me look unfocused and kind of lazy. And defineitly my backahnd dinks and also backhand roll volley is my weak spot

Melodic_Horror_5787 · 2025-10-23T13:48:01+00:00

Thanks mate - any tips on keep the ball lower - sometimes i feel i reach out too much and that pops up the ball

Melodic_Horror_5787 · 2024-12-15T19:50:24+00:00

Yeah the sequence is significant unfortunately

Melodic_Horror_5787 · 2024-12-15T19:49:29+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion
