The Rhythm of the Tennis Serve: 3 Styles

Photo: AP

Here's a short video reviewing the 3 styles in the rhythm of the tennis serve:
1. Classic
2. Abbreviated
3. Staggered

Into which rhythm style does your serve fall?

Most experts suggest that the rhythm of the serve, regardless of style, is the single most important component of a consistent and effective serve . . . and the basis for control and power.

Best,
Gary
