Hi everyone, please take a look at your serve and write about some corrections that you can make. I have left a youtube link for a girl from college demonstrating the proper technique of the overhand serve. Take a look at that and compare it to your serve and let me know what your thoughts are. Please finish your post with your name so I can differentiate each posting. Thanks Mr. Parry

    After watching the other girl serve the ball I saw my serve needed some work. Than I watched the video of me serving the ball and my arm needs to stay more straight and it shouldn't stop I should follow through.

    After watching the video link above, I can see that my serve needs some work, my arm and elbow need to be higher and I need to follow through with my arm. After I serve, I need to go back into the court to get back into the play and I need to keep my palm open.

      Thanks for watching your video I hope it helped. By getting your elbow up you will generate more power as long as you finish with the follow through. Thanks Lauren

    After watching the video of the girl showing me how to serve, I realized that I need to keep my arm straight and to follow through. Also to hit the ball with my my lower palm instead of whatever I hit the ball with. After watching the other girl's serves, I see that I should always be ready for play.

      Thanks for watching your video I hope it helped. I think the most important correction for you is opening up your hand instead of making a fist. It will give you much more control. Thanks Kathleen

    I watched the video of the girl on youtube and realized that my arm and elbow needs to be higher up and follow through and don't stop my arm from moving until I make contact with the ball. AFter watching the other girl's serves I also learned that I need to be ready for the ball to come back over the net if the ball is returned from my serve.

      Thanks for watching your video I hope it helped. If you raise your elbow and lead with your elbow you will be more accurate and it will generate more power. Thanks Kate

    I watched the video of the college player and i can see that I need to toss the ball a little higher so I can make contact higher. I also need to bring my elbow back further for more power.

      Thanks for watching the video I hope it helped. If you lock out the toss elbow it will be easier to get the proper toss every time and finish with more of a follow through for more power. Great job.

    I watched my serve and I can see that I am not following through after I make contact with the ball.

      Vito thanks for watching the video I hope it helped. I agree with your comment on the follow through. Don't be afraid to step and also follow through with your hips. Good Job Vito.

    After watching the college player serving I can see that I am not stepping with my lead foot and I need to follow through more.

      Shannon your observations are right on target. By stepping and following through with your arm you will increase your power and accuracy. Great job.

    I watched the video on youtube and I can see that I need to make contact with the ball higher above my head and follow through more.

      Thanks for watching the video I hope it helped. Max after watching your video if you just lock out the toss arm and toss the ball a little higher you can fix that problem. also draw the strike hand back to the ear or slightly higher.

    Hi Emma I watched your serve and I think it would help if you toss the ball alittle higher and follow through with your feet. Also step into the court ready to return the ball. Good luck

    Evan after watching your serve it looks pretty good. I think you could get more power by following through and hitting down on the ball. I hope this helps.

    Katelyn I hope everything is going well in H.s. I watched your serve and I think you should toss the ball alittle higher. Also bring your strike arm back as if you were pulling back a bow and arrow. Keep your hand open and lead with your elbow. Hope this helps, see you soon.

    Hi Kathleen, hope h.s. is going well. It looks like you need to first open your hand and strike the ball with your palm and the heel of your hand, also follow through with the foot. Good luck with lax.

    Shannon I watched your serve and I would suggest that you step during your serve and follow through with the strike arm. Other then that it looks good.
