There are a couple of stroke mechanic fundamentals that are necessary for producing a better spin on your serve.

Better spin equates to a faster tighter spin that solves both of your geometric problems when serving:  getting the ball safely up and over the net AND curving the ball back down into the service box.

Getting the ball up and over the net without much spin isn’t too tough to do, but the ball ends up needing gravity to drop back down into the service box, and that simply is a juicy set up for your opponent.

And even if you’ve got the perfect serve grip, the perfect tossing motion, the ideal set up position prior to swinging up at the ball, if you squeeze just a hair too tightly on your grip, you’ll have a slow swing speed at contact which produces very little spin, and guess what, your opponent now loves you…

You got it, developing a light grip tension on your serve, and being almost counter intuitive where you don’t “muscle up” to get spin and power, that’s right, a lighter grip tension produces much more racket speed which equates to a faster and tighter spin.

Jim McLennan Can Help Us With Our Serve

My good friend and tennis professional colleague, Jim McLennan, is a master at teaching the serve.  It’s one thing to understand the specific fundamentals, and entirely different skill to articulate them to you so you can actually improve your serve.

A fellow Tom Stow student, and long time tennis professional, Jim is giving away his new report on how to avoid 5 costly mistakes on your serve.

Jim and I go way back, nearly 40 years.  And truly his background, point of view as a teaching professional, as well as the material within this report – all are first class.  I’ve mentioned Jim in many of my blog posts over the years so you may remember his name.  When I’ve got some teaching idea I need to discuss, Jim is always the first guy I go to.

In fact I’ve read his report and use many of the concepts within my own service delivery, and, personally, would be willing to pay money for it.

I think he’s crazy for giving it away, especially because it’s jam-packed with great tips on how to improve your serve.

The report is easy to read, covers the five most common mistakes, and offers simple corrective solutions.

• Losing balance with the toss – shifting your weight forward too soon

• Toss and swing out of sync – disrupting rhythm

• An overly tight grip – causing tension from the arm up to the shoulder (You know me, this is one of my most important tips for your serve.  Jim articulates it in a way that is unique and really helpful.)

• Hitting the ball without any snap at the top of the swing

• Serving without any spin

I am not sure how long this will be available, so I recommend grabbing your complimentary copy immediately and putting the concepts to use as soon as possible.

If you do, I am confident your serve will improve – more easily and far sooner than you might ever imagine.

In addition to the things I’ve been suggesting to you for your serve, Jim’s report will certainly enhance those recommendations.

As I mentioned above, Jim and I both trained under Tom Stow and Jim’s great way with words combined with his excellent coaching style make this report a must have for any players bookshelf.  He knows his stuff.

Jim will follow up with a special offer on an online product – Building the Serve from the Ground Up – a multimedia interactive course – but you will be under no obligation to purchase.

Why would I ever endorse someone else’s tennis instruction?  Simple, we all hear and see things differently.  My goal is to help you improve your serve, and if another way of articulating it makes more sense to you, then I’m a happy teaching pro!

However, I should point out that I have a special plan for an added video bonus I am putting together for you if you choose to get it.  Anyway, more on that later.
