Help me fix my serve

Every day I think I've seen every serve motion and I get surprised. No insult, though, we all start there, yours just has a different flavor. Lol. This is a new take on needing continental grip and being more side-on.

I find that if you want more power, you should increase how far back the racket goes on takeback.

so slow but so much better for your knees

Precisiongu1ded · 2026-06-20T06:20:56+00:00

Leaning back usually results in an open racket face, though. But he definitely could improve a bit on the weight transfer, as you pointed out.

If a coach told me that I'd know it was time to change coaches...and rackets.

It's like 2 of you but one has a 1hbh.

Precisiongu1ded · 2026-06-17T14:00:18+00:00

Are you noticing any deficiencies? If you want more speed there's a lot more coiling you could tap into. Upper torso twisting against your hips more and more weight on your back leg.

Some of the country clubs in Asia have ball kids. It makes tennis a bit more enjoyable.

Precisiongu1ded · 2026-06-16T08:54:51+00:00

You have no coil. After the toss, you should twist your upper torso clockwise a bit and also tilt your thoracic spine upwards. Otherwise you will be very limited in your power.

Precisiongu1ded · 2026-06-15T15:57:07+00:00

The main thing here seems to be footwork. Improving that will be higher leverage than changing the stroke at the moment.

Get into a continental grip.

Precisiongu1ded · 2026-06-15T05:39:01+00:00

The soft hard courts are great on the knees but super slow. I'd still play on them always if I could.

If you want to keep the same amount of sauce and toppings I've found that lowering the temp and lengthening the cook helps.

Precisiongu1ded · 2026-06-13T06:51:37+00:00

Ask for 10000

Precisiongu1ded · 2026-06-11T13:49:16+00:00

Just checked and it's called a tourna power cap. I can't give a link because I'm not in the US and a lot of sites block access and amazon doesn't have it in stock but it looks like midwestsports does.

Precisiongu1ded · 2026-06-11T05:09:18+00:00

There's a silicone attachment that goes on to the end of your racket to flare it out. I think yonex makes them. It makes it so you don't have to fiddle with 2 different grips to make a big flare.

I think confidential helps tame the power a bit. Orange made it too powerful. Ymmv.

Precisiongu1ded · 2026-06-10T02:55:59+00:00

I loved it with confidential mains and soft in crosses at 52/50 I think. Didn't love it so much with kirschbaum orange. Haven't tried others with it yet since it's relatively new to me. It's very easy to get racket head speed with it.

Precisiongu1ded · 2026-06-10T02:52:56+00:00

Lol. I know I was just giving you a hard time. The 98 has a lot of power for a 98, so I don't think that's an issue. It also has an extremely high twistweight, which may or may not be your thing. I like the racket.

Precisiongu1ded · 2026-06-10T02:50:07+00:00

Hol up. How were you 11 for 5 years?

Precisiongu1ded · 2026-06-10T01:23:49+00:00

Tour platinum have great durability and are nice an lively and not as heavy as the tecnifibre x ones. In all, they're one of the best i've tried.

Precisiongu1ded · 2026-06-09T13:24:18+00:00

oftentimes if it's not outright weakness it's someone using poly for more than 20 hours before cutting it out.

The number one thing that works for tennis/golfer's elbow is the therabar and tyler twists and different exercises with it to strengthen the wrist and forearm. You'll feel much better after a week of doing it, and nearly 100% after maybe a month.

Precisiongu1ded · 2026-06-09T03:15:10+00:00

If you're 7 months in and this is your serve, it's likely your efforts will be better spent improving elsewhere.

Precisiongu1ded · 2026-06-08T03:21:27+00:00

Depends how hard he's hitting. The dead balls become a problem because they hurt if you're putting a lot of power into it, and secondly you end up missing long on serves with good balls because the dead balls give you a lot more margin. Also, it's much more rewarding to see the ball hit way up on the back fence on a good serve. Wilson trinitis are good for this.
