I have been practicing forehand, backhand, and volley and have served at the Sunnyvale Tennis Center for a long time. I decided to record my technique with my trusty GoPro4 Hero Silver camera mounted on a tripod for further review.
In this short GoPro4 video, I am practicing my forehand and slice backhand.
In this short GoPro4 video, I am practicing my forehand and backhand volleys.
In this next short GoPro4 video, I am practicing my kick serve.
In this next short GoPro4 video, I am practicing my flat serve.
The service is broken into 8 phases. I have made comments for the errors I have observed in red.

- Grip: Continental
- Initial Stance: Platform
- First Move (turn away from the target)
- Ball Toss (using fingertips)
- Trophy Pose
- The racket should fall behind my right shoulder, but it's not doing so
- Serve Stroke
- During the stroke, I should approach the ball with the edge of my tennis racket - not with an open tennis racket. This is causing a "push" stroke. The racket should open at the very last moment - during pronation. I realize that I'm not constantly gripping my racket in the correct Continental (I need to check my grip more often)
- Contact
- I was releasing the pinkie finger on my tennis hand before contact. I need to correct this error!
- Completion
