Summary: Learn expert tips on how to keep your eye on the ball when playing tennis in this free tennis instruction video.
"Another fine point in the serve is to keep your eye obviously on the ball and chin and left shoulder the toss arm or right shoulder if your a lefty as high as you can and looking at the ball totally as you come up from your back foot to the contact point and down your left side to the follow through. I always tell the students do not look at the ball, but look at my eyes as I knock this ball into the box. Okay my head is completely up and eyes at the ball. Left shoulder up, those balls are in the box. You don't need to drop your head or eyes but the contact to make solid hits you want to keep your head and that shoulder up to the ball and extend to the ball."

Keeping your head up after the ball is gone is a great tip. I tell my student to see the sky until they cannot see their tennis racquet any longer. You are probably the best teacher I have watched videos of on the internet, so far. You ego-less approach is helpful.
