Waiting
While waiting for my next tripod to arrive I need to take to heart the visual lessons revealed by film so far.
First, not only must my shoulder relax but my elbow too so that the old expression "spaghetti arm" will finally learn to suffice.
Second, I need to see a full squeeze together of the two halves of the arm. Right now I think it's happened when it hasn't. Well, can it be passive or will there then be too much that is passive in the serve?
Envisioned is a raising of my trick shoulder housing as front leg extends and a slight lowering of said shoulder as the rear leg compresses.
The pattern must imbue both the actual serve and the pre-serve waggle that illuminates it.
As racket lowers, torso twist and toss and slight lean backward from the hips chime in. The structured arm must get all loose right then.
Is there new heresy here or not? A tenet by which I have lived and died in all tennis matches is that bod must travel forward during the toss.
But actually, it's just some part of the bod that needs to take the forward trip, probably the hips. If upper body is moving backward lower bod is moving forward and hence is something else not to think about.
The rear leg fires to reverse the vertical arrangement of hips. Because the front leg is firing too, rear hip rises up over front hip.
Which sends a nice message up the rest of the bod.
