Despite its simplicity, this drill is perfect for players of all abilities. With no opposition player required, a range of targets can be used to help you improve your serving accuracy. Try placing six targets (maybe a tennis ball canister or small cones) evenly spread along the service line. Beginning on the deuce side of the court, pick a target, before hitting 10-15 serves aimed at this point. Following this, move to the ad side of the court, repeating the process with a different target. Getting your serves to land where you want them is the starting point. Be sure to keep track of how many targets you hit.

A proper tennis serve stance is when your feet are positioned so that the front foot is pointing towards the right net post (for right-handers) and the back foot is parallel to the baseline. Basic serve stance gives you balance in all directions the toes of the back foot are also roughly aligned with the heel of the front foot because you need to be stable in all directions once you initiate and execute your full service motion. This is a basic stance which you adjust depending on which direction you’re serving to.
