Welcome to the serve progressions section of the website.
In this section we're gonna teach you how to learn to serve
how to go from scratch, step by step to a fundamentally sound serve.
You're gonna notice that the lessons in this sections are very different
from how we presented the serve in the serve fundamental section of the website.
In that section we talked about what every single good player does
over the course of their serve and we went chronologically
through the various steps of the service motion.
We started with the stance, we moved to the toss, etc. etc.
But understanding what good players do
over the course of their motion doesn't necessarily teach you
how to do those steps.
So, what we've done in the serve progressions section
is reorganize things a little bit.
We have come up with a series of steps
that, if you follow, will allow you to build the various important elements to the shot
and finally get you to a fundamentally sound serve.
So, for example, we start with how your arm and your racket move
as you swing up to the tennis ball in this section
but in the serve fundamentals section that discussion didn't occur until much later
in the series of videos.
One final point I wanna make is that we've left out some stuff in this section
that you'll see in the fundamentals section.
For example, we don't talk about the knee bend in this section because
you can hit a fundametally sound serve without bending your knees.
But every single good server is going to bend his knees because
it adds power, spin, etc. to your serve.
But when you're first trying to learn to serve
adding that is probably gonna throw off the rest of the mechanics
and take your attention away from the steps that are more important
when you're trying to build the basics and build the fundamentals of an effective serve.
