PETE SAMPRAS' *Tennis Serve* Explained | FEDERER'S Weight Transfer On The *Tennis Serve*

jeffsalzensteintennis.com I had a viewer comment on my tennis serve on the Nadal Serve Video I have posted (http The viewer commented on the fact that I am not "following through" on my tennis serve. If you study Pete Sampras, who had one of the greatest serves of all time, you will see him arm bend right after contact. Bending your arm right after contact on the tennis serve will allow you to relax and pronate your hand and arm correctly. We have all heard the word "PRONATION" from a coach when they are explaining the tennis serve. The key is to be like Pete Sampras and actually get that arm to bend after contact during the tennis serve. The next comment this viewer made stated I was not jumping out into the court enough on the tennis serve. I am here to set the record straight on this tennis serve myth. If you study the videos of servers like Federer, Sampras and Roddick, most of the time they will land on the baseline or just in front of the baseline after their tennis serve. Traditional coaching might tell you jump out into the court as far as you can after the tennis serve. Well this leaves you, what some might call, "no man's land". This is not a good position to be in after your tennis serve. Take a hint from players like Roddick, who have been known to hit serves upwards to 158mph, and try not to leap out into the court after your tennis serve. The very last comment this viewer posted was that my toss was too far over my head on the tennis serve. If you compare my <b>...</b>

*SWINGING VOLLEY* | How The (Swinging Volley) Will Transform Your Game

jeffsalzensteintennis.com The swinging volley is not a new shot to the game of tennis. Look back at matches of John Mcenroe, and you will see him hitting swinging volleys. Now you might be telling yourself.... "my coach told me to NEVER swing at volleys". I will be honest with you.... The swinging volley is not a beginner stroke. The swinging volley is a stroke that will help you take your game to the next level. Next time watching Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal, look for them to hit swinging volleys off of big forehands. When you are playing an opponent who lobs the ball, try hitting a swinging volley when they lob the ball up. Take that shot out of their game, by stepping into the baseline and taking the ball out of the air. When you hit a swinging volley, you will try to swing the same way you would hit a forehand or backhand. You will make a full swing across your body on the forehand and finish the swing above your shoulder on the backhand. Try hitting the swinging volley next time you are on the court!! http

*TENNIS SERVE* | Tennis How To Serve | Javier's Serve Journey

jeffsalzensteintennis.com In our video today, we are going to follow one courageous young man on his journey to creating a better tennis serve. Javier came to me wanting to improve his tennis game and especially his tennis serve. We started with him wondering how hit a tennis serve, to understanding basic concepts to having a powerful tennis serve. Many tennis players struggle with their tennis serves and Javier was no different. The only difference between Javier and most other people is that he went out and found a coach to help him improve his tennis serve. We spent six months off the court in a basement doing shadow swings, holding certain positions throughout the tennis serve and hitting into a net. Our goal was to change over seven years of muscle memory to improve Javier's tennis serve. Over 6 months and around 24 total hours of practice on the tennis serve, Javier has been able to come close to Roger Federer's tennis serve. There are still a few things that Javier can work on to keep taking his tennis serve to the next level, but this video is a testimonial to what the right kind of training can do to a tennis players game.. If you want to change your tennis serve, try holding the trophy position and doing multiple shadow swings to really learn the muscle memory for a dominating tennis serve.

Tennis Forehand | How Djokovic Gets Spin

jeffsalzensteintennis.com On the tennis forehand, players are always asking me how they get more spin. They also ask me how a player like Djokovic can hit the ball so hard and keep the ball in play. The key to Djokovic and any other great player crushing tennis forehands and keeping them in play has to do with getting the right amount of spin on their tennis forehand. If you got to see Djokovic win the US Open this year, you'll notice he does something very specific every time he takes his racquet back on the tennis forehand. Djokovic actually gets his strings to point towards the back fence on his tennis forehand before he swings at the ball. Pointing your strings back towards the back fence on the tennis forehand, like Djokovic, will allow your strings to close before contact. Closing your strings before contact on the tennis forehand will allow you to brush up the back of the ball creating lots of spin like Djokovic does. If you find yourself having trouble getting spin on your tennis forehand, try getting your strings to point towards the back fence when you take your racquet back during your tennis forehand. But remember you can only do it with a semiwestern grip. If you have an eastern grip you cannot do this. Also go over the http and click on the Tennis Forehand Solution banner under my blog post to get your free forehand cheat sheet and learn exactly how pros like Federer, Nadal and Djokovic hit their forehands. I know you want to be able to crush tennis <b>...</b>
