I'm glad to hear that! Keep tinkering with your swing and keep practicing in new ways, and you will see results. I like to think of that mantra from golf: "If you aren't changing your swing, you aren't getting any better." Cheers. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-09-07 |

Stand facing your target, feet together, relaxed. This will be a very smooth and easy swing. Not an explosion.

I don’t know, I agree with part of what he’s saying.

I have heard you should not be “snapping your wrist” but pronating your arm, and that snapping your wrist could result in pain or injury. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Adopt continental grip (it’s the only serve grip), toss ball high 👆at 1 o’clock, stretch out your racket arm/racket high, hit down on the ball & practice, practice, practice. Serve is the only thing you can practice w/o another player. Doing great!! | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
So yes, it looks like you are using more of an eastern grip, and continental *will* feel unnatural. You will no longer be able to hit the ball as you do in this video. You may have to stand partially facing sideways. It will be like you’re holding it like a hammer. The idea is that, the way you’re serving now, it is im... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
You are actually holding between eastern and semi western it appears. The index knuckle should be on the second bevel and the base of the wrist opposite that knuckle should be on the 1st or second bevels. In the video the base of your wrist is much farther around the grip making the grip more western than just the inde... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
I concede to the other commenters. The common belief is that snapping the wrist is incorrect and could cause injury. I agree but not at the speed the OP is serving at. I teach a very simple way of serving before moving to a serve with a continental grip and pronation. I'm sure there are many who disagree with me. Most ... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
That is definitely not true. I have done this with so many people and it works. The problem is the pan serve provides no fundamentals to build on. It is almost a completely different mechanic. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
You are right that it is a completely different motion / mechanic and builds no fundamentals for the serve. But it does feel much more natural and is a reliable way to “get the ball in” for beginners.
Which part is not true? The reason people fall back on this serve is because the continental serve is such an unintui... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |

I agree. I mean, tbh you’re probably right. I am a 3.5 - 4.0 who has a nice continental first serve and still fall back on eastern grip second serve because I’ve never been able to get the same reliability out of continental.

Using eastern on your second serve is gonna put a low ceiling on your game. If anything it should go the other way. More continental for a slice or kick. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
I think this is a good approach. If you like tennis and want to continue, this is definitely the moment to struggle, and that is where most of the fun comes from :)

Start with the toss. Practice the “J” toss, where you make the letter J with your arm.

There are a lot of good tips here for getting better at serving. (And some not great ones!)

Hi! Continental grip is essential to serving, in conjunction with proper pronation. It all feels very strange at first but works.

First greedily optimizing for a "winning" strategy at this level seems asenine. As a beginner winning is not the objective improving is.

Externally rotate arm more get more of a rock and lean going, bend knees and jump to generate power, also jumping allows you to hit the ball higher in the air which will help landing the ball in the square | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
It doesn't look like continental to me, more of a forehand grip. There's lots of utubes that explain it better than I can. It will feel weird for a while but with pronation it all comes together nicely. I'm still working on it. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-09-07 |

"High deep topspin" is kinda lol advice for a 3.5 player since generally not being able to produce this reliably is a characteristic of the level and its also not going to succeed if the slicer knows how to side slice well because you are just putting it right into his hitting zone. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
