Mental Breakdown
Sounds awful, but what is the choice when you are committed to an innovative design?
Okay, so you can produce good serves on your own but not yet in a match.
The design, as I have outlined it, has five counts, with three of them simple.
If count five goes wrong, simply use it (i.e., ISR or internal shoulder rotation) to slam balls on one bounce over the net.
And if counts one and two don't work, then simply slow them down. And bring elbow close to where it touches your side as a crutch. And slow down more. Why not? You haven't tossed the ball yet so you can go as slow as you want.
Furthermore, stop considering these first two counts as counts at all but rather as preamble so simple that within a week you can forget it altogether.
This turns five counts into a three-count serve. And you can forget count five too simply through the repetition of the one-bounce slams.
Now you are free to concentrate on counts three and four, the only complex counts in the serve. Anything goes. Call them counts one and two or porridge and spinach.
I see this as mental breakdown-- not the one that turns you into a gibbering idiot but rather the one that puts focus where it belongs.
