The tossing hand at contact?  Huh?  What’s the big deal…?

If you really want to improve the spin on your 2nd serve, then staying sideways at contact is imperative.

Your tossing hand/arm can completely open up your tossing shoulder way too early to where you’re almost facing forward at the point of contact.

And guess what, if you’re facing too far forward at contact, your ability to impart real topspin goes down the drain.

That’s why the position of your tossing hand at contact is critical.

We have the honor again of having the great world class senior player Dick Johnson show us how it’s supposed to be done…

Dick Johnson from St. Louis, MO is one of the world’s top players in the senior 65s.

Classic everything, especially his 2nd serve.

This guy is going to be playing tennis forever, effortless strokes, lots of grips, and gets to play pain free.

The ball he hits is “heavy”.  It looks like he’s not putting much into it, but I’m telling you, it gets on you in a heartbeat and has a way of sort of pushing you back.

Dick does something on his serve (and we’re going to look at his 2nd serve in the video below) that we’ve all been told to do, but rarely, if ever, do we actually do it.

So here’s the teaching cliche: Keep your head up at contact on your serve.  You know, don’t pull your head down too early…

Makes a lot of sense to follow that advice, but the reality is that most of us don’t keep our head up at contact long enough, if at all…

Keeping your head up at contact, and specifically keeping your eyes looking up at what was just the contact point, that body alignment helps keep you sideways at and through contact which helps you produce a much better spin for your 2nd serve.

What does spin do for our 2nd serve?  I know you know, but just so we’re on the same page, 2nd serve spin equates to safe height over the net and the spin curves itself back down into the service box.   You don’t have to push your 2nd serve in play and let gravity drop it into the service box.  (Nice way to get your doubles partner dinged up).

Those two features of a good spin serve equal the great benefit of being consistent with your 2nd serve.  Meaning, having the confidence when you step up to play that your 2nd serve is actually going in play and it won’t be setting up your opponent.

That’s a pretty darn good feeling…

Discover the secrets to a consistent in play topspin 2nd serve that bounces up and out of the returner’s strike zone and gets you (and your partner in doubles) lots of easy point ending opportunities.

One of the things I do when I either warm up my serve for a match or practice my serve is to hit some very high rainbow shape type of serves that have lots of spin.

I want to insure that I’m at least getting a nice high bounce with my 2nd serve from the height going over the net as opposed to having to force a “kicker” type of spin.

Let’s be real, developing a major league 2nd serve “kicker” is not any thing to do. It takes a ton of practice, extraordinary strength, and a body (shoulder, elbow, lower back, wrist, etc.) that can withstand the punishment from the action needed to really hit a true kick serve.

The end result is to try and get your 2nd serve to bounce up and out of the strike zone of your opponent, and however you accomplish that is really what’s important.

I’ve got a fairly good 2nd serve that I can get to bounce quickly up and out of that returner’s comfort zone AND that also allows me enough time to really get a great court position for my first volley, especially in doubles.

When your opponent knows they’ll have to deal with a return of serve contact point that is at shoulder height and also has to deal with you coming behind that serve, the pressure for them to not pop up their return is big.

Within three 15 minute practice sessions you can be getting a big time bounce with your 2nd serve
up and out of your opponent’s strike zone in both singles and doubles.
