The Serve:
Twist Rotation Versus
Forward Rotation
In this exclusive new series for Tennisplayer, Dr. Brian Gordon shows how he applies over 20 years of biomechanical research to the development of elite junior players from his new base in Miami, Florida. In this first article, he explains the critical role of forward, or cartwheel body rotation, in developing a high level technical serve. Brian begins by contrasting Forward Rotation with Twist Rotation, a common teaching approach that he himself learned as a junior.
It's a practical on court approach, complementing the groundbreaking analytic series he first published on Tennisplayer. (Click Here.)

Dr. Brian Gordon has changed the understanding of the biomechanics of high level tennis technique. His Biomechanically Engineered Stroke Technique (BEST) is the only empirically based stroke mechanics system in the world, growing from three decades of both academic and applied on court research. He is a founder of the Tennis Center for Performance Research in Miami, Florida, which is creating a new paradigm for player development. The center has assembled an unprecedented group of specialists with cutting edge knowledge across the entire range of tennis performance.
