How To Build A Beautiful Serve

By Chris Lewit

Developing a world-class serve is tough, but you can do it! It's possible to develop great serve mechanics for both the young and old. Remember! Winning Pretty technique is efficient, rhythmic, fluid, balanced, and elastic—never jagged or forced. These are the qualities that are desired for the serve.

This third part of the series builds on the biomechanical structure and checkpoints outlined in Part 1, while sharing my experiences from the trenches teaching thousands of hours of serve mechanics. Part 2 reviewed the eight stage model of the serve and drilled down into the technique and biomechanics of each stage.

I will discuss how to apply those technical details when building a pretty, world-class serve.
