Many players don’t even realize they are rushing their serve.
They just feel tension.
They feel inconsistency.
But the problem often starts at the very beginning —
when the racket goes up and you move into the trophy position.
If the start is rushed, the whole serve is rushed.
The solution is not to hit harder.
The solution is to slow down the beginning and build rhythm.
A simple pre-serve routine can completely change the feel of your motion.
In this video, you’ll see how we teach this from the very first stages —
working on smoothness and timing early, not trying to fix it later.
When Should You Start Learning a Pre-Serve Routine?
Don’t wait until your serve is “advanced.”
In my experience, a routine should be introduced early — usually about a year after learning the basic mechanics.
As soon as a player starts playing matches and keeping score, a routine becomes essential.
The earlier you build rhythm and smoothness, the less you’ll need to fix later.
