Abbreviated vs Classic Tennis Serve
Abbreviated vs Classic serve - which one are you? 👀🎾 Most players copy what they see… Very few understand why one motion works better for them than another. Here’s what’s really happening: 1️⃣ Arm path & compactness The abbreviated serve moves directly up the front of the body into the trophy position - making it a more compact, simplified option. 2️⃣ Timing & toss height You reach trophy much quicker with the abbreviated motion. That’s why the classic serve needs a higher toss - the racquet has more distance to travel on the full takeback. 3️⃣ Rhythm differences • Abbreviated serve: fast → slow → fast • Classic serve: slow takeback → fast acceleration (more fluid, continuous) 💥 Key takeaway: The abbreviated motion can unlock a more explosive serve - especially if you struggle with toss consistency or timing. ⚠️ But it must be trained correctly. Poor mechanics here can overload the wrist and shoulder. There’s no “best” serve - only the right one for your body, timing, and level. 👉 Which one do you use - abbreviated or classic? 💾 Save this so you don’t forget 👆 Follow for elite-level serve breakdowns you won’t hear at your club #tennis #tenniscoach #tennislesson

How To Find The Perfect Contact Point In Tennis (3 simple steps)
How To Find The Perfect Contact Point In Tennis (3 simple steps) You can do everything perfectly in your forehand or backhand preparation, but if your contact point is wrong, none of those techniques will help you. And on the flip side of that, you can have a mediocre backswing, but if you find the ball out in front, and make contact in the right position, you can still execute a good shot. Finding The Perfect Contact Point in Tennis: Step One - Early Preparation It all starts with time, creating time for yourself on each shot and adapting to the incoming ball. If you start the backswing late, you'll be rushed and most likely will end up hitting the ball late. As soon as you can spot which side the ball is coming to (forehand or backhand) start your preparation. This means: early coil with the body, getting the racket to the side. This early prep will give you time to swing and still make contact in front. Step Two - Using The Correct Swing Don't treat each incoming ball the same, some are slow and floaty, some are low and skiddy, some are fast and kick up, each incoming ball is unique. Trying to use the same, one size fits all swing is not a great way to adapt to various shots. There are three main swings in tennis: 1. Full swing - when you have plenty of time 2. Half swing - when you want to hit the ball on the rise or your opponent is attacking you 3. Return swing - when returning bigger serves or you have no time for a backswing Try to modify your swing for the incoming ball, this will help you find your perfect contact point. Step Three - Tracking The Ball Tracking the ball properly as it comes off your opponents racket will help you greatly with step one, early prep. But tracking the ball all the way until it enters your strings and watching it as it comes off our racket, is key to hitting the ball cleaner and finding that perfect contact point. Think about Roger Federer as he makes contact, he often maintains that stable head position until well after contact, ensuring he doesn't throw off his balance during the strike zone. Try to replicate this action, head down until after contact.
