Hard to see much Joe! Need more frames and a high speed shutter especially.

Great Video...

Leave the last 18 seconds. Don't even consider editing it out. It makes the video a cosmic question mark. An artistic edge.

The motion? It's good…really good. So repeatable.

Great set up position.
The toss is perfect…you make contact at the apex leaning into the court.
The backswing is Gonzalesesque…taking the racquet a bit to the outside.
Methodical backswing and smooth transition into the forward motion as the racquet head falls behind your head.
You are nailing that backhand corner from the rear view over and over.

Suggestion? Work on targets. Pin point placement. Tactics? Find the weakness in your opponent and exploit it. Like a baseball pitcher…once going at the weakness. Down and out…then up and in. Then going elsewhere to set up the weakness once again. Or…merely hammering the weakness until the opponent forces you to look elsewhere.

Holding your serve with authority puts added pressure on your opponent to hold his.

I love the one solitary leaf blowing onto the court at the end of the video before the camera cuts away to the coastal scenery. It's poetic in its loneliness…it's singularity of purpose. A guy out on some tennis court practicing his serve in the quest of perfection. Very interesting stuff.

Just one fundamental thing for me...

Look at the target for far longer. You give a cursory look at the service box then turn your head away...not good. Experienced opponents will spot this and will realise they can run round your second serve without you being able to see them.

It's weakness, get rid of it.

Stay looking at the target. It will also give you a better sense of direction. The next time you look a the ball once the motion has started should be when you are releasing it.

The All Important Toss...

The toss is perfect…you make contact at the apex leaning into the court.

The toss is perfect. I repeat myself.

If you toss the ball in the perfect spot it more or less compels you to take a good swing. In your video…look at where you bounce the ball. You bounce the ball about a foot inside the court. Then you proceed to toss the ball precisely over that spot over and over. It's no wonder you are able to hit that backhand corner over and over.

JOHN MCCORMICK CAN GET A CAMERA WITH THOES TRAITS FOR NEXT WEEK.
THE SERVE CHANGED TO SMILER TO ANDY RODDICK START OF THE SERVE, BUT THE TOP OF THE TENNIS RACQUET IS NOT POINTED INTO ANY RODDICK AT THE START OF THE SERVE, THE TENNIS RACQUET IS LEVEL. THE GRIP IS LEVEL POINTED DIRECTLLY AT THE BACK FENCE WITH THE BOTTEM OF THE RACQUET POINTED AT THE FENCE LEVEL BEHIND ME. JOE.

Right, and in the meantime, a spell checker wouldn't hurt....

Accidently Posted Under Tennis In Prison. Joe.

Now Ill Have Joe Mccormicks Legal Serve Up This Week. Joe.

But What Joe Mccormick Didnt No Was That You Cant Aim The Tennis Ball On Every Shot, Joe Mccormick Still Aims The Tennis Ball On Every Shot. But The Tennis Ball Lands Exactly Half Way Between The Singles Sideline And The Baseline Every Single Forehand. Joe.

But It Uses Extra Muscle To Aim The Tennis Ball There But The Ball Goes There.

Now In About 1000 Joe Mccormick Forehand Crosscourt Points Joe Mccormick Has Lost About 3 Tennis Points All Missed Into The Net But Maby Missed Crosscourt 1 Time And That Shot Might Have Went Over The Net. But There Have Been Sets In Doubles Were Joe Mccormick Could Not Swing The Tennis Racquet Slow Enough To Make The Forehand IN THE TENNIS COURT AIMING Halfway To The Singles Sideline And The Base Line. Joe.

Problem With This Is That Tennis Stratigy Dosent Play 100 Matches So. Joe.
