Hi Tomas. I have been playing and trying to learn tennis serve for the last 8 years. But for the first time in my life, after watching this video, I REALLY understood the concept of pronation. I went to the court, tried my serve keeping this video in my mind, and I am not lying that my usually opponent could not take even one of my serves!!! I am so happy and can't thank you enough.

I still need to work on actualizing it! :) But this has certainly pointed me in the right direction. Thank you!

I’m 63, I play 4.0-4.5 league tennis. I have been playing tennis for 23 years. I have a good powerful serve, flat, slice, and kick, with a Continental grip. I developed my serve years ago watching Pete Sampras serve in slow motion, and going to the courts with a basket of balls and trying to copy it. After thousands of balls I developed a very good serve 20 some years ago. It is a big part of my game. Recently I started working on maximizing my pronation, and I developed tennis elbow for the first time. Obviously, I am doing something wrong, or I have exposed a weakness in my arm. I am currently taking time off, icing, stretching, and strengthening my injury. I am not very happy about all this, and my advice to y’all is be careful with this concept. It might maximize your serve, but it might put you on the sidelines with an injury. It seems to put a great deal of stress on the elbow.

I achieved both understanding and muscle memory of pronation in tennis just a couple of weeks ago. I’ve known about the definition for more than a decade, but only got the feeling this month. And it feels wonderful. I would describe the result of pronation as force that drives the ball forward into the service box. In nerdy terms, it’s the component of the hitting force perpendicular to the racket face and pointing towards the service box. As all serves needs to go to the service box, then any serve (using Continental grip as Tomaz said) must have this result that was caused by pronation. I further consider pronation to result in a a position of strength and stability for the arm as the racket hits the ball. In simpler terms, pronation gives you the “slapping” action on the ball. The spin and kick comes from the grazing action. The proportion between the slapping and grazing actions determines the type of serve (flat, kick, slice)

Impressive how he can vary between the different stroke techniques. Even showing the wrong/ineffective ones. I am an advanced player playing 30 years, but especially changing the serve takes so much time. My pronation is good, but I tend to not swing the racket, kind of interrupt the motion and lose a lot of speed. So the last few weeks I mostly focused only on the swing to get some power back. I just have made some progress. Now I start to try more adjustments to improve precision. If this works, I'll start focusing on spin.

I now can reconcile what for a long time seemed like opposite racquet movements: the left to right brush of the racquet to achieve spin (kick/slice) and having the ball-hitting racquet face end up facing to my right (as a right hander)! Upto this point, I’ve been ending up with the ball-hitting racquet facing down with my my wrist on top. I’m looking forward to developing new muscle memory and hitting the serve with more power with proper serve pronation. I appreciate the careful explanation. Quite the find for me.

But you say that we must actively DO the pronation, pushing with our finger / hand, thus adding power / spin / byte to the ball, and not just let the pronation happening by the natural momentum of the racket head? That's great :)
