PROGRESSIVE SERVES: The Kick

Use the walk-in drill to develop a better kick serve.

Published Jun 04, 2016

Improve the kick on your second serve with this progression drill in which you hit five serves. Work on serving away from your body and keeping the outside edge open. As you step closer to the baseline, your swing path will become rounder and your serve motion will have more spin and greater kick.
