Do you want to hit the ball harder? Racquet head speed is key to that 🔑

What is a great training exercise to improve this part of my shot?

Start making shadow swings! Meaning hitting a forehand as in this example without a ball. Repeat this a couple of times and try to achieve that swoosh sound that my racket is making!

Kick serve tips down below! ⬇️🎾
1️⃣Toss the ball behind your head

For example, if you're right-handed, you want the toss to be to your left and behind your body so that when your racket contacts the ball it creates a left-to-right spin, which will jump away from your opponent.
2️⃣Bend your knees and bring your hips forward

As the toss goes up, bend your knees and bring your pelvis forward. This will help keep you balanced with your weight evenly distributed and force you to reach for the ball instead of leaning with your back.
3️⃣Brush Up
To generate the necessary topspin for your kick serve you need to brush the side of the tennis ball from low to high. This brushing action means you’re allowing the strings of your racquet to make contact with the outermost edge of the tennis ball which causes the ball to spin and ultimately kick up off the ground when it hits the court.
4️⃣Racquet Head Speed
Another essential element to the kick serve is racquet head speed. Believe it or not, when the pro’s hit a kick serve their racquet is traveling at roughly the same rate or faster than their flat or slice serve. That’s because racquet head speed is required to create topspin.
5️⃣Wrist Snap
One of the best ways to increase your racquet head speed is to incorporate a wrist snap. It’s essential that you relax your grip and wrist to allow for the wrist to move freely. The result will help you generate even more topspin.

When approaching the net, really approach the net!
•
Too many times players are either scared to come close to the net or maybe not confident enough in their net game skills.
•
Not closing in to the net will really hurt your game! But don’t worry, it’s an easy fix! Just move to the net a bit closer and you’ll be fine😁👋

Keep it up and point your arm towards the incoming ball when hitting a smash.
Keeping your non-dominant arm up will help you to increase the power of your overhead by allowing more upper body rotation💪🎾
It will even help you to position yourself better to hit your best overhead ever!
