I've played tennis for many years and was largely self taught. Although I became a reasonably good player, I've always had an inconsistent serve. This video has helped me tremendously. The 2 ball throwing exercise alone was invaluable in training me to finally develop a smooth coordinated service motion. The instruction throughout the video is very clear and concise and the slow motion scenes are very helpful.

Very concise, well-thought progressions that focus on developping a sound feel for the serve. Tomaz surely understands how the mind/body connection works and gives us specific tools to enhance our own feel for the serve so rather than stressing mental he gives us practical ways to work on getting a feel for the serve( for example: feel the ball brushing, or get a feeling of the raquet dropping.. So lucky to have found him.Thanks
