Tennis Serve Rhythm and Smoothness Drill

When you hit your serve does it feel like you’re trying super hard to accelerate the racket but you don’t actually get much out of it in terms of power or spin? If so you NEED to try this drill, it’s designed specifically to weed out parts of your stroke that may be quick and jerky, killing your potential for racket head speed on your serve.

-Four tennis balls
