If you're chasing instant serve power and nothing seems to be working, I want you to consider something most players never think to check: your toss location. Same player. Same racket. Same court. And yet her serve looked like two completely different shots, all because of one adjustment to where
Out of every shot in the game, the tennis volley is probably the most misunderstood — and I say that after years of watching passionate, hard-working players get it backwards without ever realizing it. Here's the strange part: most adult competitive players have actually been coached into the wrong technique
I had a student recently whose weak overhead was driving her crazy, and the strange part is she already had a fantastic serve. Same overhand motion. Same body. Same racket. And yet one shot had power and the other one didn't. That contradiction is exactly why I wanted to write
I want to walk you through the exact explosive drill for serve power that took one of my students from hitting with her upper body alone to unlocking her entire kinetic chain in just a few minutes of work together. Before we get to the drills, let's look at how
If you want to know how to pronate for powerful serves the way the pros do, I recently walked a student through exactly that transformation in under thirty minutes, going from zero pronation to a full, natural release just like the tour players. Every high-level player pronates on their serve,
One of my students went from a jammed, tight backhand to a fluid, smooth backhand in just a few minutes, and the fix had nothing to do with technique explanations — it came from a weird training exercise involving a medicine ball. Before I show you the drill, let's talk
I want to show you how one of my students went from a weak, unathletic motion to a powerful tennis serve in just fifteen minutes of work together, because the fix was so much simpler than most players expect. It all comes down to something tennis nerds like to call
If there's one thing that separates the pros from everyday players, it's their tennis footwork — and it's not what most people think. I was reviewing video with three of my students recently, and before we started working together, all three of them looked the same way 90% of tennis
These kinetic chain forehand came from one single thought I gave a student to focus on, and it fixed six different problems in her forehand at the same time — without her ever thinking about any of those six problems directly. The tip came from a phrase borrowed from legendary
I watched a student drive hard off his legs on his serve, load up, explode upward, put in real effort... and it was actively hurting his results. Not helping. Hurting. The problem wasn't that he wasn't using his legs. The problem was his leg drive timing was off, and once
