INCREASE SERVE SPEEDS
SERVE AS MUCH AS 5 MPH FASTER AND WIN MORE POINTSFASTER SERVES = MORE POINTS WON IN ALL LEVELS OF TENNIS
Golden Set Analytics (GSA) conducted research showing that higher speeds lead directly to higher win percentages on both first and second serves.
GSA, the leading tennis analytics company in the world for top pro players, has found that increasing serve speed is critical to winning points at all levels, including junior academy and collegiate levels.
IN TENNIS, A 2 – 3% INCREASE IN SERVE SPEED IS HUGE
FACT: 30 – 50% of all matches are typically won or lost by a small number of points.
If Rafa Nadal had served 5 mph faster on average on 1st and 2nd serve – exceeding Roger Federer’s average speed – he would have likely won 5 more slams.
Maybe more.
WE CAN INCREASE YOUR SERVE SPEED BY UP TO 5 MPH – OR MORE
Based on our work with other tennis players, we can increase your serve speed 5 mph or more, massively increasing your win percentage on serve points. We will also show how to increase your speed on ground strokes – both forehand and backhand.
HARNESSING THE KNOWLEDGE OF
THE NATIONAL PITCHING ASSOCIATION (NPA)
The biomechanics of a tennis serve closely resemble those of a Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher. For more than 25 years, the National Pitching Association (NPA) has focused on training pitchers to enhance their velocity and arm speed.
MLB teams have long recognized the significance of pitching velocity to a pitcher’s success through in-depth sabermetrics. By incorporating these training techniques, we assist tennis players in boosting their serve speed, which in turn leads to a higher win percentage.
CASE STUDY: THE AMAZING ASCENT OF AUGUST HOLMGREN
Denmark native August Holmgren was a collegiate player at the University of San Diego who came to an NPA West pitching clinic after his junior year to see if he could increase his serve speed using our knowledge of increasing pitching velocity.
At the time, he was ranked #42 in the NCAA (D1). Six months later, after adopting our training protocols, he beat Ben Shelton in a collegiate tournament and reached the #1 ranking!
The ensuing Spring, Holmgren continued his winning ways reaching the NCAA finals facing Ben Shelton again, to cap a stellar Senior season. He then turned pro and has steadily moved up the ATP rankings, hitting a high of #167 in the world!
