A New Teaching System: Serve
Progressive Development

John Yandell

You took a lesson and hit some of the great serves of your life. You played a match and didn’t hit one that resembled those. Information alone, or even practice execution doesn’t create change. But Progressive Development does. Progressive Development creates drills and drill games that create pressure. Less pressure at first and then increasing increments. Unless you can work your way up the levels hitting high percentages and maintaining technical change, you will never have the serve you want in match play. This series has given you the technical elements to develop literally a world class motion. Now see how to develop the confidence to execute it all day.
