Pete Sampras - Tennis Service PDF Print E-mail

The Pete Sampras - tennis service was his best weapon. The tennis service is one of the building blocks for anyone who wishes to enjoy the game. For the professional players it is a major part of their weaponery and most live and die by it.

Pete Sampras one of the greatest servers of all time demostrates own to impart great power, speed, control and spin on the serve:

- The foremost important thing to be able to deliver a fast service, is to be relaxed.

- All motions until the drop of the racket head behind Petes back are premeditately slow, only then all power (elastic energy) generated with the leg bend and arm bend behind his back will be released simultaniously like a vulcano busting into flames and destruction! That is how his opponents felt on the other side of the net, as if huge rocks were being throw at them at over 200Klm per hour!

- Pete Sampras used a particularly heavy racket with a hefty amount of lead tape in the head frame, not recomended for young players. That was part of the reason why his first serve and especially his second, were so heavy and difficult to return.

- The two other reasons are his tremendous upper body rotational power and the fantastic pronation of the racket head, which both imparted vicious spin and power to the ball.

To avoid any possible claims of authorship, the video below was found at YouTube.

Use Petes tennis video lessons as a model, he was a great champion and a master of the game.
