Zenith or Nadir?
I spoke of fanny slap, which some midwives in Fredonia still use. Obstetricians and modern midwives are more likely to suction nose and mouth but in any case do something immediate to send a signal to the baby's brain.
This serve is close to breathing, but its development is also approaching an absurdity. If decelerative racket is swooping up to a beautiful pause, why not just call the pause an ugly hitch, and question whether all the gravity action has any relation to everything else, and declare the whole iteration an abbreviated serve, and start with one hand by left thigh, the other at the end of your straight arm way up in the air? Soon you'll be demented and double-faulting your way off the tour and possibly out of tennis altogether.
In fact, extreme abbreviated version will become a learning method, an intermediate step to inflict upon novices, but I believe this serve retains its promise, and the drop and swoop CAN become integral.
First experiment to make it so is an extra drop from tossing hand of a few inches. This can happen just before hitting elbow reaches its zenith, and why not bend knees a little then too-- in fact do anything or not do anything one can think of to maintain continuity and keep "beautiful pause" from becoming "ugly hitch?"
An ugly hitch is never going to produce a first-rate serve. What works best looks good, too.
