One of the strangest serves I’ve ever seen (but it’s an effective one).

@Vince6323 2 ай бұрын

What's even more awkward is his tossing arm. It almost goes limp and folds over his head. I used to train myself to turn slightly before the toss, to have my back slightly towards the net, so that I am focused only on the toss, and the ball, and not the court/result of the serve. It's tempting to want to see the result of your serve before it's happened, but his tossing arm and shoulder position, however awkward it may be, prevents that.

@kylen6430 Күн бұрын

This kind of reminds me of a baseball pitcher. They will often keep the ball behind them for as long as possible to help hide the pitch grip and make it harder to pick up on the pitch. Maybe this player thinks that by doing it this way, it will make it harder to pick up on where he is aiming the serve

When I first started learning tennis in high school, I had this video game for the PS2 called “Hard Hitter Tennis”, and one of the characters had a serve very similar to this. 😂 When I was learning and developing my serve, I tried emulating each different character’s serve to see if any of them felt comfortable to me, and the character with the funky serve was actually pretty effective. That’s not how I ended up serving in the long run, but every once in a while I’d break out that weird serve just as a risk and have actually aced a few opponents with it.

La tête vers l'arrière c'est la recherche d'un levier supplémentaire pour gagner en puissance au détriment du système proprioceptif (vision sur le terrain) - Il reussi grâce à celà à mettre en tension l'ensemble des chaînes musculaires entre les membres supérieurs et inférieurs et de bénéficier d'une meilleure élasticité. C'est bien entendu une manière de faire très personnelle mais qui fonctionne pour lui.

The fundamentals of this serve isn't uncommon, because it achieves what's known as a kick serve. However, I do admit that the way he goes about achieving that outcome is a weird process.
