Give the Gift of Aces—Serving Made Easy With The Total Serve
The Total Serve … it looks funny, but actually works. It is a flexible, handheld tool with a realistic grip and a weighted end that helps players understand what the serve should FEEL like. It is a user-friendly tool that can be used anywhere for practice, and it's been tested and proven to accelerate understanding and improvement of the serve EASILY and QUICKLY.
The Total Serve comes in three different sizes and weights, making it easy to teach the serve to 10 & Under kids all the way to advanced adult players.
Why is it so difficult to master the service motion, gain power, spin and accuracy? The serve is very complex and must be hit with a very uncomfortable grip for success. Most players give up trying to improve because they simply don’t have enough time to practice the serve let alone make effective and long lasting changes. With The Total Serve, players of all levels and ages can teach themselves or practice what they are taught off of the court. It is also ideal for pros, instructors and coaches to teach their students and to give them a true understanding of the serve.
Using The Total Serve, you can quickly develop the correct motion and use it for repetitive training, stretching, strengthening, injury prevention, overheads and even groundstrokes.
If you are looking for that gift that every player will love and thank you for, The Total Serve is the answer! Help the tennis player in your life make those difficult breakthroughs and improvements that they’ve been struggling with. Give The Total Serve … the truly fun, fast and effective way to a killer serve!
