Serve Power: Wrist Snap, Pronation, Or?

How do you develop a powerful serve in tennis? Where does the power and control of the serve motion really come from? Many coaches, commentators and even former pros often refer to the wrist snap as the key ingredient in the serve. The role of the wrist on the serve is perhaps one of the most misunderstood movements in the history of tennis, and maybe in all of sports! Does the wrist really “snap” on the serve? Does the hand and forearm pronate or turn in the serve motion? Or where does the power and swing movement really come from? After extensive research and review of many of the best servers in the history of tennis, I have found one common movement that characterizes these great serves! Shoulder power! Yes, the power and control of the serve motion is generated by the internal rotation of the playing shoulder. Of course there are other movements that precede the shoulder rotation to create energy and rhythm, but once these components have done their part, the shoulder takes over and delivers the final movement onto the ball.
