How To Be CONSISTENT On Your Serve | Tennis Serve Lesson

The podcast addresses how to become more consistent with one's tennis serve, highlighting the inherent difficulty due to court dimensions and net height, which necessitate an arcing ball flight. It argues that relying solely on gravity for a flat serve leads to inconsistent performance under pressure, often resulting in a weak "lollipop serve." The key to consistency, especially on the second serve, involves swinging up into the ball with a continental grip to generate spin. This allows for maintaining racket speed while ensuring the ball arcs over the net and lands in the service box. The podcast emphasizes the importance of consistent ball placement, achieved by maintaining eye contact with the release point and using the non-dominant hand as a guide. It concludes by advising players to reduce power to 75% on their first serve to increase the percentage of serves in, thereby maintaining control of the rally.
