1. Consistent toss (at least higher than full extension w/ racket) 2. Weight shift (starts on front leg, moves to back leg on toss, moves to front leg on contact) 3. Serving Arm Loop (proper arm movement is probably the most difficult skill in a tennis serve) - the serving arm must fully EXTEND up/away w/ the toss + weight shift back, then 'loop' down behind head on weight shift 'transition' (essentially your serving arm is now lead by the elbow which is being pulled into impact by the weight shift, unwinding of the hips, unwinding of the shoulders and un-looping of the arm/grip/racket) 4. Proper grip (grip has EVERYTHING to do with consistently serving 'in') - beginners should use a topspin grip (top ridge of racket rotated to the right away from your thumb). Topspin causes a very high arc which increases the surface area for landing 'in'. DO NOT MANIPULATE the racket at contact! The proper grip will impart the right amount of spin. 5. Body Position - last important teaching point is how to stand. You should position your feet so that your back is facing the target. This gives you a 'head start' in making a full shoulder turn. Right handers should have their left foot as close to parallel to the base line as comfortable with your right foot staggered parallel behind. After the body shifts weight from left foot (front) to right foot (back) on the toss and then back to the left/front foot on the impact move...that left foot STAYS PLANTED through impact while the right/back unweights and 'steps over' the left to catch your momentum. Do these 5 teaching points and you can do an overhand serve in tennis in no time! Oh by the way, this MOTION is the exact same motion as spiking a volleyball or topspin serving a volleyball or overhead smashing a tennis ball. So you volleyball players (like me) have a head start in being a great server.
