[Topspin Serve] Move under the ball - ATP Pro teach How To Hit Topspin Serve - Pro Tennis Lessons

Hello everyone this is Ko No Ryōdō This time it's our series service spin serve It's a pleasure to meet you First the grip The grip is such that even a slice serve with a little less spin It's the same even for flat serves I have it slightly thinner than the continental grip I think I'm the same I think it's a good serve condition that it doesn't really make much difference When you set up like this it's a slice serve this is a topspin serve and this is a flat serve and it will be obvious It is important to perform the same grip without being noticed by the other person When it comes to spin serves it's probably used quite a bit on second serves and even professionals can certainly use them on clay courts By hitting a spin serve from a flat serve the intention is to make the opponent hit the high back of the court and this is also the case with a slice serve I think many viewers want to try a spin serve We tried various things on this show But I still want to see a professional spin serve Let's try a practical example That's right How is the shot Do you hit it high or not too high and focus on strong forward power Which side is it I want both the ultimate and the height after all From the point where I hit it if there's angle of descent it will definitely bounce high but just that alone would only make it bounce The opponent will already have predicted it and get hit hard so we need some speed both of them we also want the power to go up We also need some forward propulsion If you just rely on spin this part becomes smaller Then you generate power from the bottom up That's the feeling Slightly lift the toss to the left arc it that's the image I have in my mind maybe the spin is a bit strong but that's how I see it myself It's the position where you raise your toss isn' t it When you take your stance while standing if you think it's on your left then when your body suddenly moves forward I think it will go inside It's possible that the ball might go too far to the left making it hard to hit as quite a few regular players tend to hit the ball to the left and even a toss that isn't much different from a slice serve can be difficult to handle when you consider how you move If I just get under the ball that's all right This place the ball isn't to my left but even if it's a little to my right if I really get under it I think it will naturally result in a swing from below to above I see I'm just taking a step back but even if you don't do it you have to spin like this here and try to imagine pushing forward strongly If you can get your body a little below the ball the pass doesn't have to be on the left if youつい the ball while moving it will be harder for the opponent to read the spin I end up lifting it to the left like this fixing my foot and then hitting it by lifting it up like that so once I get into that position like this That's when it gets exposed right Yes because you get outmaneuvered At this point when you slice it 's about yourself even so I think it's more than enough If you can do that your weight will be solid After hitting the ball in the direction you want you can still firmly incorporate it into the shot right You can do that Even if you have that image in mind I think the spin serve is okay The ball feels like it's riding on it it's more like a vertical spin if there's not a strong forward force in the direction of the opponent's return the spin digit is The longer the contact time the better the control That's how it feels Bouncing off the opponent's racket They call it a delayed swing meaning to let the opponent hit the ball on their backhand I want to hit the ball to their right side that's what it means to delay the swing By deciding the ball coming to this side with a forehand or a volley that is the meaning of this spin serve so it's still about directing it towards the opponent It's important to make sure it flies straight and firmly If you apply too much spin the control becomes poor and it ends up hitting the net more often I was thinking of trying to do it like this at an important point I was thinking about what to do if it breaks 30-40 times but pushing too hard ends up not getting through the network That was almost all of it The image when I prepared those kinds of things were quite a lot The brain tends to be influenced by bad images so if you think that way you might make a mistake so to eliminate such images if you have the image of the ball being on the bat The ball goes well even in important situations That was my old challenge Not putting too much spin on it If you think that lifting to the left causes a spin you're not wrong but if you lift to the left your body will tilt or rather it will lean You might be able to do it if you have the strength to straighten what's tilted and enough leg power to lift it back up but if you can't it's better to give up because it gets complicated even if you lift it to the right If it's a high ball this is a spin serve if the height is this good because the height is needed so the toss shouldn't be too strange I will just lift it to the left I think it's better not to do it On the right I'm going in I push myself in strongly It is absolutely necessary to do this so that it is easier to transition to the next shot Even now with a spin serve it bounces and goes all the way to the other wall without bouncing Kick serves bounce up so they fall once before reaching the other wall but Kita Tora's serve is differe Kicking the serve and having it bounce the ball goes all the way to the other wall without bouncing if you want to make it bounce more to the side then more It might better to raise it behind you but it's difficult to control I think viewers who have a strong sense of spin like me are the type who want to spin around and around like this My waist or back is Just using arm strength alone that's how it's done it doesn't go all the way over the pro Noda is moving to the side it moves a lot to the right if If viewers want the ball to move more sideways I think the way Nakano-san hits is better If you want more power then for the toss I'll go in so it's okay I want to insert it a bit shallower sometimes so I rotate it more firmly It's a bit risky but it's also a shot and as Takao Pro said moving forward Among them it is also something that has been devised while playing serve and volley Just follow this tip Aim for the inside As I explained in the slice serve It's better to hit it on the inside Just the slice serve itself The feel of the racket is like this standing up a bit if it's slightly tilted then when the spin serve hits it goes up after hitting It's better to have that image at the top grab the ball at the top at a high point we have the ball before the racket reaches the top hit after hitting it go to the top The highest point comes after the ball I think most of you probably misunderstand علينا Taking it at the very top makes this the highest point It's not just about lowering the racket but going down after reaching the highest point after contact that's the image there is a place where it hits but this is even higher Come here for a bit and then go up But if you take it from a high place after hitting it going up is probably not possible If you take it from a high place from the point of impact it goes straight It's possible to go a bit lower so if it's a bit lower it 's okay It hit If it goes up a bit more I think the landing point will go higher We aren't very tall If there was a 2m serve this is a strange story a person with a 2m serve would slice serve it would go out it would not go in Carlovic or Isner would Because of the angle it bounces so when they hit a spin serve they make a fault That's a pity but it's our advantage This technique is advanced but you absolutely must master it to improve your spin serve Practice this image Just watching isn't enough to improve much I'd like you to enter the court and watch this video and practice many times Thank you Takakura
