The Serve Toss, Pancake Serves, Overhead Tips, & Tennis Con 9 with Peter Freeman
About this episode
Peter Freeman is one of my favorite tennis coaches to speak with because he has so much experience coaching club doubles players. Like me, Peter creates a ton of online content, including one of the largest online tennis conferences, Tennis Con. I've presented at Tennis Con for the past 3 years and cannot recommend it enough for club players.

I spoke with Peter to preview Tennis Con 9, which is a little different this year. We also discussed some takeaways from our doubles camp earlier this summer, including the two types of serves at the club level, building a chip return, and fixing your overhead.
- How TennisCon started and what’s new this year
- Challenges, Easter eggs, leaderboard, and prizes (including a free ball machine)
- The importance of learning from many coaches, not one
- Continental vs pancake serves
- How high should your ball toss actually be?
- Executing the chip return
- Overhead rules to help you not miss
- What tennis can learn from pickleball culture
