I need tips on serving?

Question

How's my foot position suppose to be?
What grip do I use?
What I need to know?

Answer 1

you can't exactly answer this via internet. You should go to the nearest tennis club in your area, register, and ask a pro for a lesson. If they ask you what you want to work on, simply answer 'I have alot of questions about serving' and that should get you started.
Good Luck!

Answer 2

Use a closed stance( sideways) with your feet about a foot apart with your left toe pointed at the right net post if you area right.
Use either a Continental grip or an Eastern , both will allow you to hit a flat slice and topspin(kick) serve with the same grip.
You want to throw the ball high and hot it on the way down. For first serves a little in front and to the right, for second serves more into your body.
When yo get to the part of the motion where you bend your elbow , you do not want the racket touching your back.
You want to practice it as much as you do any other shot, it is the most important shot in the game and people tend to spend the least amount of time doing it,

Your foot positioning depends on who is teaching you. For instance, my private coach wants me to stand sideways when I serve, but my school's coach wants my toes to point straight towards the other side, or 45 degrees on the right (if you're a righty). My coach @ school says that facing sideways can be hard to follow through, but most pros play with their serves on their footing to be sideways. So, just go to a country club, or a tennis court in a park, and follow their teachings, but make sure it's comfortable to you.
The grip you should use is continental grip. Almost all grips, excluding the forehand, requires your grip to be continental. If you have an eastern or western grip for your serves, it will only be useful for flat serves, which is only your main first serves. Otherwise, stick to the continental grip.
Your toss depends on what hit you hit. In general, toss your ball at the highest you can throw it. Plus, when you toss, make sure that your racquet and hand go in synchronization. If you are hitting flat, toss the ball a little, but not too much, in front of you. If you are hitting a topsin or kick serve, toss the ball above your head. If you are hitting slice, toss the ball towards the right side (if you're a righty), but make sure that the toss is not too much to your racquet side. There is a possibility that all types of serve can be tossed anywhere. All you need to do is toss to the highest of your reach, and a little to the front.
After you have gotten most of the serving techniques, you can come up with your own.

Answer 4

ok use continental grip like the guy said , and as my coach always say when you throw the ball up in the air and you hit it , make sure u dont hit it in the middle or on top, hit it between the middle and on top and that is guaratee to drop in anytime and the rest depends on you, how fast u want it to go and how slow and all u have to do for that is put more energy.

Answer 5

Sure you can answer this over the internet.

Use a continental grip (as you would for hitting with backspin).

have your front, left foot (assuming right handed) point toward the right net post.

The power comes from your legs.

Answer 6

dont try to put all ur power into it....its better to get not double faults and have a slow serve then double fault everyother time and have a nice serve
