Absolutely FREE 5 Video Course Includes:
grip   Video 1: Grip and Stance
Learn exactly where the BEST grip for your serve is on your handle. This is super detailed imagery, not just your standard "shake hands" instruction. Also find out how best to set up your feet for success.
trophy   Video 2: Trophy Pose
Having a correct trophy pose sets your body up for success from the beginning. Most recreational tennis players are much too horizontally aligned. Find out what your trophy pose should look like and how to get it there. Core, arms, racket, and knee bend are all covered.
racketdrop   Video 3: Racket Drop
The vast majority of recreational tennis players have a very shallow racket drop which limits their potential for racket head speed tremendously. The correct way to actually achieve a correct racket drop might surprise you. It's much easier than most people think!
contact   Video 4: Contact
At contact your racket should NOT be facing downwards, a very common misconception that I prove wrong using high quality HD video of the pros. Find out where it should be facing instead and also what the rest of your body should be doing as the strings touch the ball.
followthrough   Video 5: Follow Through
Many people try to discount the importance of pronation. In my opinion nothing could be further from the truth and in this video I show you exactly why. Also learn why "wrist snap" is my least favorite phrase of all time when it comes to serving technique.
