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.

I’ve got a time sensitive BONUS lesson offer for you which is detailed below, but first, here’s a quick look at a serve and backhand volley sequence in singles.

There are a couple of things that I want you to really study, but the most important one is the decision of where to play your backhand volley that should determined by where you are on the court at the time of that volley…

Serve and volley tennis is a lot of fun, risky at times, but if you practice enough and sort of de-sensitize yourself to that concern of being passed by your opponent, the end result is you put a ton of pressure on your opponent to have to hit better returns of serve, and the consequence has a real ripple effect…

• More missed returns of serve;
• more missed passing shots;
• more serving errors on their part as they realize they have to hold serve because you’re holding serve easily;
• and on and on…

Here’s chapter 11 of my Serve & Volley lesson DVD…

This is a full one hour detailed lesson where we work on all of the elements of solid serve & volley technique:

(Videos are DVD quality on the lesson’s DVD.  These samples above had to be compressed for the blog because of file size)

• The serve & volley philosophy.  You gotta see the forest for the trees…
• It’s always about court positioning (where you are on the court at any given moment) and occasionally about shot execution
• How to come out of your serve motion on balance and ready to efficiently move forward into the court
• How, where, & when to split stop (step) your feet for your transitional shot and why “spacing” to that transitional shot just may be the most important aspect of serve and volley tennis
• How & where to play that transitional shot whether it’s a volley, 1/2 volley, or approach shot
• How & where to play your following shot once you get up inside the service line
• Experience:  The philosophy that becoming a good solid serve and volley player in both singles and doubles is totally dependent on you simply putting in your learning time

Once you learn and practice your new 1/2 volley, your opponents will realize that low returns of serve to your feet just don’t bother you.  That starts the cycle of them going for bigger and bigger returns of serve which equates to lots of unforced errors and free points for you.  Now that’s what I’m talking about…

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.
