Struggling with your TENNIS SERVE, RACKET DROP, or FOLLOW-THROUGH? In this video, I break down a real student's serve from one of my Patreon members, James, and show you the exact steps I’d use to fix the most common serving problems—**lack of racket drop**, **high finish**, and **stepping forward on the toss**. You’ll learn: ⏺ **How an incorrect toss destroys your balance and swing path** ⏺ Why most rec players swing *forward* instead of *up* ⏺ The real reason your **racket drop** isn’t happening ⏺ How the **continental grip** affects the finish across your body ⏺ Two simple drills (the *two‑ball drill* and the *sock drill*) that instantly promote a more vertical, explosive serve motion If your serve lacks power, consistency, or the smooth “pro‑style” look, these fixes will help you build a more efficient and athletic service motion. 📌 **WHAT YOU’LL IMPROVE:** • Racket drop mechanics • Upward swing path • Consistent toss • Serve balance & lower‑body stability • Proper follow‑through across the hip • Understanding how grip affects your swing 📌 **DRILLS INCLUDED:** • Two‑ball upward throw drill • Sock drill for racket drop awareness Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or long‑time player stuck with an unreliable serve, this video will help you understand exactly *why* your serve isn’t improving — and how to fix it. 👇 **Chapters:** 0:00 Intro 0:22 - 0:44 What James Wants to Fix 0:44 - 1:54 Issue #1 – Stepping Forward & Toss Too Far In Front 1:54 - 2:49 Tip #1 – Toss Adjustment 2:49 - 4:09 Tip #2 – Real Cause of Weak Racket Drop 4:09 - 5:52 Drill #1 – Two‑Ball Toss & Throw 5:52 - 6:35 Drill #2 – Sock Drill 6:35 - 7:50 Tip #3 – Fixing the High Finish 7:50 Outro 🎾 **If you want MORE and EXCLUSIVE content, monthly coaching presentation, voting power on what content I create AND MORE!! join my Patreon:** www.patreon.com/Meikebabel 🎾 **More Serve Improvement Videos:** The Tennis Serve is NOT like a throw: https://youtu.be/q6iGm9YLiMo #tennis #tennisserve #racketdrop #servetips #tennislesson #tennistechnique #tenniscoaching #learntennis #tennisfundamentals
