An accurate, powerful serve is essential to
furthering your tennis skills. Begin in proper
position, standing about six to eight inches behind
the baseline, with your dominant foot about three
feet from the center half mark and parallel to the
line. Grip the racquet properly, as if shaking
hands, but with a slightly extended index finger.

3.  When beginning the swing, it is helpful to
envision the racquet as an extension of your
own arm and hand. Relax your arm and allow
the effort to come from the shoulder,
accelerating from the same position your arm
would be in if you were throwing the ball.
Then, keeping your feet in contact with the
ground to maintain balance, follow through
with the stroke completely so the racquet
swings toward your opposite pocket.
Remember that more power and coordination
come through frequent practice.
