[Tennis]New theory! how to hit a perfect slice serve for the any level players - Pro Tennis Lessons

Hello everyone this is Hana Namichi This time it's the serve series between me and you I would like to talk about slice service with Takao Pro Please take care of me Takao Pro First the grip The most important part is how Takao Pro holds it I'm mostly a bit light Does it work the same way even if it's another type of serve It changes a bit but basically it's like this It doesn't usually look like this though Squeeze a little less than continental style The face is slightly angled to the left and up This is the basic What about the length The length is about the size of a pinky finger covering the grip end I've tried it this way before But I stopped because I couldn't apply any force to my pinky I have never held it for a long time so I always use this grip where the pinky is on the grip end creating this situation I'm pretty much like an overhead shot more on the backhand side than the continental grip on the opposite side of the backhand spin so when you set up If you don't do anything with your wrist it turns left It turns up When you get into a position here surprisingly many people do it this way Even among professionals they don't say it's wrong This is how it often ends up if the grip is thick If you do that I think it's not good for the inside of the forearm here When you lift it up it will naturally face upwards Or if you have it in the continental style it will naturally stand up smoothly I think it's good if the racket stands straight up Have you ever had this happen No I haven't Even if you set it up like this it's not good This is something I don't have either This way of holding it is too thin it's not possible The side that turns the other way is probably Tiger's I think it's thicker than Continental Like this Some people hold it with a grip that's a bit like a forehand When they're set up it ends up pointing downward That's right The striking surface ends up facing this way and pointing downward This is a group pose made during a takeback so the face is up I definitely don't recommend this spot recommend after all the important thing is to apply enough rotation You shouldn't hit too hard Some people really want a thick hit A strong hit with the serve results in less spin of course the amount of spin decreases whether it's a slice or a spin Because the flat or low spin makes it hard to drop or turn you have to focus on how thin and fast you hit it Lightly apply and spread it out That's right "lightly" doesn't mean thick or thin but rather that being thick is good and applying it thinly is bad or weak I just need to hit it lightly but if I can get the ball speed and the spin then it 's okay that's what I need to do but I don't use slice serves very much in matches I don't have much experience with it but it' s more of a flat spin with a slight rotation When you hit it with a slice it becomes thin and doesn't fly forward I still don't quite understand the technique I still have some things I don't understand I got injured in my right shoulder around 2000 and before that flat and spin serves were almost all there was Shoulder strain and elbow strain occurred so I thought a lot about the position to take after the injury and I ended up positioning it very much on the right side So when I was traveling around America with him then Osamu also said to the right and we did it in this way like a horizontal slash Sure when you're in a pitcher's stance this position is good for throwing but when you toss the ball your head position always ends up like this The position of the elbow and the position of the hand when throwing are important I raised it to the right Yes Cutting the set from the side with a jolt and going to the side They were playing that way of hitting of course because it's a match against an opponent so the serve goes way to the right or way to the left Maybe when you raise it the opponent will realize so the ultimate is to raise it to the same spot first serve and second serve It's good to be able to hit any type of shot at any speed but it doesn't always work out so it's okay if there' s a slight slice to the right but if the opponent clearly sees the way the ball is being hit then it's a problem I think everyone probably wants to be able to hit the ball without lifting it too much in the position of the serve but the server shouldn 't let the opponent notice when they're set That's right sometimes it still gets exposed at the post office so that's where the important part is how to handle it properly I hurt my shoulder and I really focus on hitting from the right side you know it's about where you hit the racket just a little I'll skip that for now It tilts a bit doesn' t it The direction you aim when it goes towards everyone's direction when that happens you still want to aim a little towards the inside right The inside It's going to end up like this isn't it Then when it hits the inside and catches on the two or three strings running vertically it will naturally pull this way Hey just like that already Rotation is used in rotation when you start using it you have to be careful not to use it if it's not right you can 't use it if you do it that sense is completely absent if you return this If it hits it becomes a flat force so you have to change it Before rotating the ball hits and then rotates so that 's what rotation means The direction that turns the opposite way But it's not about forcing something it's about hitting catching and moving away But when it's a slice of course it hits on the right side The ball is more on the inside this side so when it comes to this side this place this image I see from here it smoothly goes this way We are already apart At that time That's rig That's when it comes from the other side you have to do it with force I'm completely sliding here the ball is at one point the ball's Hit it where the ball is The so- called "tapping" image Tapping means not this kind of tapping Tap here Just this The upper right part At the point of the index finger if you hit it here it will bounce back but when your hand is perfectly aligned it will become flat so you have to be careful with the timing it's difficult So if you lift the ball too much before passing it it won't reach so naturally it will come back and hit you so if you go too far forward you'll hit it from inside your own position He goes left on his own this time He goes left on his own If you hit it on the inside It doesn't really matter where the pass is In other words Even if you lift it a little on the left On the right If you can hit it on the inside it's basically going left without much spin so you just hit it towards the left If it hits it will go left if you swing right that's called a slice in the case of a slice it's better to use it my problem is more of the other The spin on the rotation makes it tend to carry so it's more like the slide starts to get rough here but I just have this forehand Hit wide on the front side over there the problem is that I can't get any speed I've practiced increasing my speed many times but it 's still difficult Follow-up after an encounter cannot be done this way From here it ends up like this so even though the rotation is high the speed isn't When looking from behind the racket comes out at this angle from here This center and wide shot are not much different in terms of technique they are the same that's what's amazing you can't copy that limited to a slice serve to the side Yes this is a wide type and like this there 's also a center type It's completely the same From behind the swing is all the same That's not an easy thing but as I said earlier If you remember to place it inside then holding it with a light grip makes it very easy This is this is of course because I'm doing it Some people think it's because it's Takao Suzuki but if you consider everything is the same it's mostly about impact whether it becomes like this or like that if you limit it even a slightly spinny serve It's not very different It doesn't change In my unchanged self In terms of this approach The person who is prepared doesn't know This is Wow If you want to raise it even more to the right you do it like this I'm just focused on where to place it rather than doing it by hand I see From that angle so I'm going to angle it like this as a swing method in the end once it hits the racket goes up like this after it hits I don't have the image of pulling out like this nor do I have the image of shaking it from top to bottom so I think it's better to go ahead and have this kind of image here More so in reverse Wow Wow on the right Try hitting it like a pancake Try hitting it to the lef Maybe it's higher tosses yeah on the contrary that's right it's better to be from a lower place to enter a very small spot at a high place if you try to hit it at a high place It's funny on the contrary the painful serve is Suzuki's taco is really good that's why it makes you want to eat it because when it's too tall it gets all soft and squishy which makes it weird I feel like I can't go any further from here so I'll lower it a bit then hit it and reach the highest point which is better than the current rotation working well here Hmm A little below the highest point If you do it there When you try to do it The pass is then Too high is not very good It's better not to be too high Then In the end It's natural for the ball to go up after hitting it so it naturally goes up I see that's why if it goes up you don't have to be afraid of it going over the net so just go for it It's better to angle it that way then it will naturally be easier to go sideways that part is okay like this even something like this is okay that's what it takes even something like this But if you do it like this the other person will find out so I'll hit it from the side you know I see The response here is a bit unique I guess I' ll raise it high and hit it at the highest point The feeling of catching the ball like this becomes lower and when it's low it's better to hit it lower because it will definitely hit Slice shots are I wish I had known that back when I was still active This too I don 't say it 's recent but in recent years the ball would go up like this then like this and things like that happened so that was the era yeah that place was amazing Something like that the type it's better to have an image on the right side It's not that the current wide sound is bad but when regular people go out the sound ends up being like this this kind of sound it becomes a crisp sound it doesn't become a paka-oh pro it's already pretty flat in sound The ball is here That's right Well it's like that's me really it 's super all sorts of research or maybe not exactly research but trying all sorts of things well you know where the string is the serve uses so much energy The spot where the string is thinnest is where it wears out the most it 's the inner part that 's a bit pointed this is where it wears out the most I didn't realize that a little good serve Good Serve That's right that's right it can go fast it can go really fast you can hit it even ordinary people can probably this can be done it's more like I want you to try absolutely Guess here This isn't the place this is the inside this is bad this technology is amazing I should have kept my mouth shut well as for the slice it' s definitely Takao's It was a serve that was a substitute This way is better Speed and rotation I want both you know It feels like it's cutting off on Line you know It ends up being a bit jolly That's the sound The reason here is in a good way it ends up like this because it just doesn't have the power This is how it will turn out so go ahead and make this angle more acute That's good The speed and pressure are completely different Will it go like this from here Whether it goes like this from here depends a lot on this angle Surprisingly that angle hits This one is better because it turns more easily Line It's better to aim quite to the right than the center belt If you do that you 'll end up missing It's easier to insert this way I think it goes in more easily without inserting This way You've leveled up huh Speed has increased past 40 It's dangerous That's why it's not just about turning anymore you know Then the ad side center is flat no need for this slice I think it will definitely come out from 180 kilometers to 70 kilometers Is it nice Let's go all the way Nice serve My legs don't have much power anymore but with this technique you don't need to jump so much Everyone should learn this Slice serve This angle Not here Not in the middle Slightly off Move it out a bit Move it out Also When aiming This edge side It's better to tilt it slightly When it gets like this the racket faces directly forward making it hard to apply a slice even if you hit it here so just a little is enough because doing too much is overdoing it The ball really doesn't fly anymore so I think everyone should try various things today I learned something it was really shocking I need to practice a bit Make it your own This wide serve and center if it's the deuce side use the wide serve more often and if it's the ad side use the center more often but this depends on the opponent On the forehand side On the right-handed forehand side Because I want to hit it That's how I do it but It can also be used on the body And in various places From the same form It can be used That's right It's just a small thing The direction is just a bit different same toss same form same aim from the opponent's perspective you can make at least three if you hit it that way even Federer would have trouble It's really difficult to return them isn't it I learned something amazing It was a nice time I' ll practice a bit Thank you Yes thank you Well then
