• Answer:

  Here it is: how to get a good tennis spin serve: this is taken from some good sites i like: Instead of coming in right behind the ball, we come in at an angle from below the ball. This will let you "grab" the ball and then prontate and torque the ball out to the right Watch how Heuberber first straightens his arm completely by opening from the elbow. To get kick on the ball, you have to have the racket under and to the left of the ball at the end of this straightening movement. This leaves one final motion - the prontating of the hand and forearm. the angle of approach is different. See how Federer opens up his elbow? After rotating the shoulders with a collapsed elbow, the next move is to "open up" the elbow. The crucial part of this move is that you do nothing with your hand and wrist. Remember that the serve is a series of unfolding parts, like a swiss army knife opening up. Open up one part and leave the other collapsed. This lets you transfer energy from one link in the chain to the next. It takes patience to "hold back" like this and let energy flow from one move to the next. The irony is that rather than swinging faster or quicker, the pros actually are masters of delay and holding back, letting one move lead to the next. Federer is going to actually stop on the ball. Hold it for a second. Then pronate and provide torque to the ball. The key here is, just like the forehand, you can't just "swing through" this kick serve. You have to stop on the ball. Hold it or grab it for a second. Then prontate and torque it out to the right. I will be adding to this lesson over the weekend. Until then I want you to see how the mechanics of the serve are the same until the contact point. You must rotate the shoulders with a collapsed elbow. Then "uncollapse" the elbow up to the ball. The big difference we see here is the angle of approach. . Instead of coming in right behind the ball, we come in at an angle from below the ball. This will let you "grab" the ball and then prontate and torque the ball out to the right Also Follow these in steps in the order that is given type this link into your url main address http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QLLwCrQKLI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7z7vEVqz1A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkHDmfQ-iW4&feature=relmfu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGkMgQ2bymo&feature=relmfu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQEpn7spU8o&feature=relmfu
