How can I improve my tennis serve?

Question

My serve is ok. I've been playing tennis this past week and last year while I always lost my service game this year I won it, but I only win on accuracy. My serve is quite weak, if I hit it hard it goes out of the court. How can I hit it powerfully AND accurately?

I can offer basic tips, but nothing professional.

Make sure your ball toss is high enough (not too high) and controlled.

It is always handy to follow-through when you complete your serve.

If you can, apply some spin to the serve. But it isn't essential.

"Jump in" after you have completed your serve. As you bring the racket up, jump a little. When you have hit the ball, jump over the line - don't do this early or it could be counted a foot fault.

That's as much as I can offer, sorry. If you really want to improve your serve, maybe take a few lessons of coaching.

Answer 3

Hit the ball at a higher height and bring the racquet down more to increase speed but maintain accuracy

Answer 4

Practice, practice and more practice!

Answer 5

Well that's whats meant to happen buddy, the harder you hit it, the less accurate it is, thats the way it works. You need to just go down to your local tennis courts and keep practising but only hitting it hard, when you get one in, try and remember the technique u used exactly and then keep trying it like that, till your hitting most of them in :) hope this helps.
