Improving Your serve with the best drill

My favorite drill involves serving a game up to thirty points where one player serves the entire game, but is allowed only one serve.

This is a great way to build up stamina for the serve and learn how to win points on your second serve. You will be so much more relaxed on the first serve if you know that holding the game with the second serve is a lock.

With two players of equal ability, the server should typically win (if you follow the stats of the best professional players, you will always see second serve percentage of points won that exceed 50%).

With developing players, however, this is not always the case; they hit way too many double faults and, initially, their serves will be shaky even if they manage not to miss.

Dropping the racquet head on serve

A big serve is a huge weapon in tennis. A powerful and accurate serve can allow you to control play, keep your opponent on the defensive and win a lot of short points.

In order to serve well, you need to have reliable mechanics, an effective pre-serve routine and a range of different serves. In addition, top servers know how to disguise their serve, so their opponent can not determine what kind of serve is coming their way.
When you serve, you take the racquet up, but do not drop it back down when beginning your swing. Keep it up there and swing at the ball.
It is hard to throw a racket up without getting the drop. The goal of the drill is to get you used to the motion of the drop without having the distraction of trying to hit a ball.

Technical question on the racket drop. Does the racket face need to be perpendicular to the net while the racket is in the drop position? This the type of thinking that will kill your motion. I have been down that road.
Focus on taking the racquet back from the start of the serve like you are combing the racquet face backwards over your head.
This link I was talking about has a drill that shows how to do this.

It will fix the racquet drop. I spent an hour today on it, and it fixed mine. My serves were far cleaner and consistent. Tons of easy power. I simply have to practice my serve a lot to groove it in, and it's done.

That was my "serve killer" and sounds like it may be yours as well.
