Ultimate Fundamentals: The Racket Path on the Serve

Timeless technique.

Great video John. Many ways to skin a cat, but to do it successfully, you still have to meet required technical checkpoints along the way. That's for all strokes, but the serve seems to be the one shot with the most individual nuances, yet it all comes together for the great ones, no matter how the aesthetics are at the start.

Very good. What I wonder is whether there are there biomechanical positions that set you up to trigger the sequence you showed?

For example, is keeping the palm down on the beginning of the windup, prior to the racket drop, essential to get you in the groove?

So, any commonality prior to the racket drop (even if the windups are very different)?

I liked the video article. It's good for coaches and players to understand the commonalties involved in the strokes of the top players, despite the diversity of styles. The biomechanics of tennis are highly complex. It's good to have commonalties to hang on to so players and coaches can at least have something concrete to work towards.
