Stop Slowing Down Your Second Serve (It's Making Things Worse)

The moment you get nervous on a second serve, you slow down your swing, and that's exactly when it falls apart!

Here's what's actually happening: slowing down FEELS like you're being safe, but the thing that makes a spin serve land in the box isn't careful aim, it's curve. Curve comes from spin and spin comes from racquet speed.

Take away the speed and the spin goes with it. Take away the spin and the curve disappears. Without the curve, you're left trying to carefully aim the ball into the box under full match pressure on break point after missing your first serve.

That's not a safety net. That's the setup for a double fault!

The faster you swing on the correct path, the more the ball curves. The more it curves, the bigger your margin becomes. Accelerating feels dangerous, but it's actually what gives you control.

Send this to the player who's been tapping their second serve in for years because they think hitting softer keeps it safe!
