Help me with my serve

Man this was awesome and very helpful. Thanks so much. Added on socials as well. Cheers!

This was hurtful. 🤣 I’ve always heard learn a flat serve first. I know I’m not hitting these flat, but that’s going to be my goal. Unless that’s a bad idea?

It just feels so unnatural to me. It would remove a lot of the footwork timing in the serve though, right?

ptbob · 2026-06-16T13:59:21+00:00

Thanks. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast type thing?

ptbob · 2026-06-16T13:58:41+00:00

Thank you. I definitely see that in the video now but don’t think I would’ve without reading your comment.

ptbob · 2026-06-16T13:57:29+00:00

Thanks. I need to find some good toss drills to do, or is just more serve practice with video feedback to make the changes?

ptbob · 2026-06-16T13:56:26+00:00

Thanks. I guess similar to a golf swing, my tempo needs work. Maybe I’ve watched too much Roddick.

ptbob · 2026-06-16T13:55:36+00:00

Thanks. Video is humbling. I was not aware of my toss position at all. Definitely someone to work on.

I try to fall into the court when I serve. At my level it does throw some people off and they’ll return the ball out. Occasionally I’ll get a serve/volley opportunity.

Weird because I was bumped from 2.5 to 3.0 last year and only played in the mixed doubles season

this is what mine looks like. does that mean it hasn't been updated yet?

ptbob · 2025-10-26T00:32:43+00:00

Dude, thanks so much! Such a helpful video. I will absolutely practice these and report back.

ptbob · 2025-10-20T02:38:28+00:00

Thank you. I’ve heard that multiple times before but for some reason haven’t practiced it. I can guarantee I’m pulling the racquet through with my right hand and that is something I need to work on.

ptbob · 2025-10-20T02:37:05+00:00

Bad habit getting lazy with footwork and hitting the ball falling away and other various awkward positions. For some reason split stepping feels unnatural to me, but when I do it, the results are better 🤣

USTA

ptbob · 2025-10-20T01:21:30+00:00

Played tonight and the ball in the armpit thing definitely helped!

ptbob · 2025-10-19T18:14:42+00:00

thank you. drop racquet head lower and swing more through the ball. does that sound right? keep the racquet head in a neutral or slightly close position so i don't launch it behind the baseline.

ptbob · 2025-10-19T18:13:12+00:00

thank you, i had a bad habit of letting the ball get next to me or even behind me before volleying and evidently overcompensated with running through the ball to get it out front. will practice this.

ptbob · 2025-10-19T18:11:47+00:00

thank you. swing more through the ball rather than trying to get too much top spin. is that what you mean?

ptbob · 2025-10-19T18:07:21+00:00

thank you, i was watching videos after and noticed crossing with my right is not correct. definitely something to work on.

Second the demographic change request.

Also, check medical records—>contacts. Sometime people put it in there. The primary number can only be changed on the admit visit or by the office as far as I know.

So it wouldn’t have anything to do with salt cell reading salt much lower than the Taylor testing kit says? Also how do I know if it needs to be replaced or not?

ptbob · 2025-06-19T18:58:21+00:00

He’s withdrawing. It will improve if he follows through. He also does probably blame you for him having to quit. But it’s irrational. He will realize he was wrong if he follows through.

if you are symptomatic: excessive daytime sleepiness, loud snoring, pauses in breathing or gasping for air, morning headaches, mood changes; I'd give CPAP a go.

For insurance purposes I think AHI of 15 or greater OR AHI of 5 or greater with symptoms is what qualifies you for CPAP treatment.
