The first step of the tennis kick serve is the location of your toss. The location of your toss -- where you put the tennis ball -- is a critically important element of the tennis kick serve. You need to toss the ball in a spot that allows you to make contact the ball when it is directly over your head.

We compare the tennis flat serve and kick serve in this video to show how the toss location differs. Tossing the tennis ball so that you can hit it when it's directly over your head allows you to swing properly (as you will see in subsequent videos, the swing direction on a kick serve is different from a flat serve). As I mention in the video, a trick you can use to make learning how to hit a kick serve easier is to aim for your opposite, hitting-arm shoulder when you toss.

  • Thanks alot for ...

    Thanks alot for this video!!! I just seem to hit a kick serve accidentally. I think, because of my wrong toss. I was planning to hit it flat, then, it went over my head, so, i had no choice but to bend my knees, and i hit the ball. Then, some weird thing happens and a kick serve comes out.

    Hey c3lt1cs I am just curious how the ranking system works in tennis. How can you tell if your a 3.0 player or a 7.0 player? (If there is a such thing).

    arch,

    A lefty kick serve hooks to the right (from the server's perspective) but bounces to the left. A righty slice serve would hook to the left and continue skidding to the left.

    not to be rude, but wouldn't a left-handed kick serve become a right-handed slice serve?

  • I really enjoyed ...

    I really enjoyed the video - I'm a 3.0 player who just moved to 3.5, and I'm finding out that I need a more effective serve to be successful at this level. I am a lefty with a reliable and effective spin serve, but that's about it. I rarely double fault, and the ball spins into the service box and then moves. I really want to add your kick serve. Do you pronate with this serve as you would with a hard and flat serve? (Still learning that as well.) Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    xxiie -- Neither one of us is foot faulting.

    brian -- I consider the kick serve a twist serve, but some people define it as a topspin serve. We taught it using "my" definition of the kick serve.
