Tennis shoes offer more lateral support (something you don't find in running shoe) dude to the nature of the sport. Don't buy those shoes please. For the sake of your ankles.

I have been trying to learn kick serve as my second serve, but watching all the YouTube videos made me very confused. I tried tips like body stayed sideway, racket brushed like there was a wall.

You may need to aim the ball higher for that net clearance. It's weird relative to other serves because of this -- the ball generally has to leave your racquet going up. If you ball keeps getting buried in then net, you need to aim higher (assuming your swing path is correct).
Speed is absolutely a secondary, if not t... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-09-07 |
Pretty well said. You will win a lot of points against average and even good players if you can hit a solid kick serve. Back in my prime I'd have kick serves land in the service box and nearly hit the back fence on the first bounce.
Be aware though, if you do it correctly it can be a nightmare on your back as you age... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-09-07 |
Aim higher. Topspin (kick) brings it down into the court. It’s not meant to be fast. It’s meant to kick up above your opponents’ shoulders. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-09-07 |
Also, a good kick serve crosses the net anywhere from 2-4 feet above the net. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-09-07 |
Seeing you comment this on these posts is always funny in a way lol | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-09-07 |
Well for one do remember that a kick serve is just naturally gonna be slower. With that being said a good kick serve jumps high and “twists” a bit to the right or left depending on if you’re right or left handed(that’s why some people call it the American twist). Don’t really worry about that though, a ball that jumps ... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-09-07 |
If your serve hits the net you need to aim higher, that part is obvious. Actually hitting the ball up on the serve only applies to beginners with extremely slow serves.
A proper kick serve still has good pace and is hit down to land somewhat short in the box. You want it diving hard so it bounces high and is well abov... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Keep going. It doesn't come immediately. Get it over the net, then start adding momentum with it.
It seems like it's easy to return but even slow ones bounce high fast and unless 4+ and they anticipate it quickly it will still cause issues. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Unless you're 6'9" all serves are hit up. Just a physics truth. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |

Nonsense. Unless you think everyone serves at 40mph.
Read this:

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am more curious about the mindset than actually correcting my serve at the stage. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Thanks for the very insightful discussion! I felt more confident in what to do for a kick serve. I have met only one person that actually did great kick serves, but he has a bit more slice than kick. Anyway, really appreciate your advice! | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
I think starting off with kick serves you can focus on height rather than pace. That doesn't mean slow down the racket head speed though as that should be even faster. You'll want the ball toss around above your head and then let that ball drop more than you would a flat serve. Then hit the ball from 7 to 2 or so, and ... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
Truly, with a kick serve the power comes from the leg drive up. If you want more power, think of jumping up and hitting the toss at the very top of the toss. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
“Any tips for getting speed on kick serves?”
This isn’t a mindset issue. It’s a technical one. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-10-07 |
First focus should be spin and then the pace comes from leg drive and slight forward swing path (I really mean slight … maybe even just leaning into the ball). Once you can generate enough spin to make the ball jump off the court, then you can focus on blending in the forward momentum to get a bit more pace.

Twice a week may be overkill for 1-1 lessons. I would recommend 1 lesson a week then playing (matches and hitting) 4 times a week outside of lessons.

Unless you play most of the other days of the week as well, four months twice a week( that's like only 40 hitting sessions) wont move the needle much.
