Serve diagonally to the deep corners — deep and in beats hard and out.

Video walkthrough

Coming soon

The on-court video for this drill is in production. The full step-by-step is below — and our in-depth guide goes deeper still.

How to do it

1Serve underarm, below the waist, diagonally into the deep corner of the service box.
2Aim for depth, not power — a deep serve pins your opponent at the baseline.
3Put a cone in each deep corner, serve 20, and count how many land in.

Coaching cue

Same toss, same swing — build a repeatable serve.
