One of the most important parts of tennis is serving. For some professionals, it can be the most important part of their game. A serve can win and lose a match and the perfection of serving is vital to the game. A good server can place the ball where ever they want and put a tremendous amount of power behind it. However, sometimes the secret to a good server isn't power, it's consistency. If a server can put the ball in play on their first serve every time then they have a much better chance of winning. It's amazing to see how powerful and fluent professionals are at serve. They make it look so easy! But the fact is, it involves technique, time, and repetition. Then more technique, time, and repetition. Here is a video that helps teach how to serve:

This was an interesting video of how to serve. I think it was a bit technical when it was talking about feet position, but it did give some helpful tips. This video also made me want to play some tennis, I really wish the weather was warmer so that could happen...Ohh well. Ya, the pros make it look so fluent and easy when really it is all about timing and balance. Roger Federer is definitely Mr. Smooth when it comes to serving and yet it is an extremely fast serve...he is just the man.
