Why Your Kick Serve Has No Spin

Learn the key fundamentals of a better kick serve with simple, clear cues you can use right away. In this video, we cover the most important checkpoints for building topspin, control, and a more reliable kick serve.

You’ll learn how to keep the off arm up, use a high string guideline, toss left over your shoulder, use an eastern backhand grip, keep the wrist loose and whippy, stay sideways through impact, and focus on height, spin sound, and direction.

These kick serve tips are great for players who want more net clearance, more spin, better control, and a serve that jumps higher after the bounce.
