Brian Battistone’s serve looks like a volleyball serve lol!

Delbonis could be in this list for sure

All of them seemed perfectly fine to me except the last one.

I didn't think serves could get any more weirder, until Brian Battistone

I played Brian Badistone in a professional tournament in Moraga. 2 handles on his racquet! Was absolutely crazy. He was selling them out of his tennis bag to make more $$$ He seemed like a cool dude. We played Badistone and Wettengal and got smoked!

You made this video without visiting my tennis club

Most teaching pros would have cringed at their service motions and changed it to the point of being ineffective. But it is a style that worked for them and helped them become some of the best players in the world. Just goes to show that Federeresque form is not for everybody. Each player is different.

Brian Battistone serve is super weird!!

Battistone hasn’t just got an weird serve, he has a weird racquet! It’s a double-handled racquet clearly specially made for him 😊

John McEnroe had one of the best service actions of all time in world Tennis.

Dolgopolov looks like he is trying to hit the fast serve in Wii sports

McEnroe isn't even a weird serve he just coils his body a bunch right away

Dolgopolov is conventional. He just has a low toss. But that's not weird.

Wow the two handed racquet switch....that dudes got to go in the tennis hall of fame....that is insane difficultly on technical holy forkin wow....i teach tennis skate vert an jump supercross i wouldnt dream of trying to pull that off sick move....an best hes nailing it as jumps into the court...bravo...crai. z

I knew Braasch would be on this list. It's like he's trying to get on a horse. And he still had no problem beating both Venus and Serena.

I remember Jay Berger. He also used a really old Prince racquet as well for the time.

good straight to the point video finally

When John McEnroe first played on grass courts the front of his left foot used to gradually score a line in the turf in each serving position.

I sow him few times in futures and i must say one of the weirdest serve i ever come across but if its working what change it

The Jay Berger serve, Andre Agassi at Wimbledon 93, when he was defending champion, he served like that just for that tournament because he was suffering from a wrist injury. Apparently he felt serving like that gave him some relief. He never served like that again and needed surgery for the wrist later in the year. Watch clips of agassi at Wimbledon 93 you'll see what i mean

Jay Berger's serve is basically the beginner's server that we all learned ^_^

From the new generation Federico Delbonis and Oscar Otte should be on this list.

Это в 70-е не было чёткого представления о технике ударов, потому все и мудрили как могли. Сейчас биомеханику удавов разобрали по винтикам, потому теннис стал намного более техничным. Сейчас любой из топ-500 пройдёт бывшую "первую ракетку" типа Борга или Лендла. Вся соль в более совершенной технике.

McEnroe does not belong on the weird list, but on The Too Talented To Copy list. Amazing service motion.

if Battistone would hit the ball on highest point of his jump, he would have very strong serve

Karsten’s serve is amazing. In this video, Johnny Mc’s serve is out. Berger’s serve is ridiculous. Another amazing big server is Joachim Johannson

Liked the video just for the last guy!

The Braasch serve is called "Korkenzieher" ;-)

Hey Tennisplanet , could i use this clip for a video on instagram with no comercial purpose? Thank you!

Roy Emerson had a weird serve, but probably not many remember him. I suspect if any footage exists, it would be in black & white!

My man literally jump smashing a serve 🤣

Brian serve is nuts thats olympic gold medal every part of it how he gets an stays focused on the ball thru all of that is Gold medal ...a few the toss,the leap an the swing that 130 mph to hes destroying it...on contact....wow

No wonder he could defeat both Williams sisters in the same day!

Yep Delbonis for sure should be in the top 5.m. Would have Cam Norrie in top 10 with his over pronounced motion

M. Šrejber could be there too. His two steps and jump was not convetional too and some even saw a disturbance of the oponent in it.

I was thinking maybe Boris Becker. But, he seems pretty tame after watching this video.

Jay Berger & Sara Errani share the same motion

Weirdest is mine, it’s out 110% of the time

Was hoping to see marion bartoli in there but i suppose having only 5 pages on your list.

Thank you Tennis Planet

Lol Battistone uses his racket hand to do the ball toss as well. also what’s this the two racket handles?

The weirdest if from a Moroccan player former 800 ATP I believe, he serves with 2 hands!!! Too bad there is no video of him, but I know him personally.

Brian looking like he combining basketball with Tennis

Falta el saque de Taylor Dent 👍🏼

How about Berretini and Brooksby?

John McEnroe’s serve form is called the American Twist

Aren’t the double step serves prohibited now?

McEnroe's is sheer sublimity.

Is Mr. Battistone’s serve even legal?

Dominic Hrbaty!

Was waiting for pierres hugues herbert lol

That jump is called the jump smash

You forgot to include Delbonis on this list haha

Happy Gilmore serve

Are 1&2 illegal?

McEnroe's serve got more exaggerated the older he got. It was pretty normal and face forward in his early pro days

Goran Ivenisevic too.

Lorenzi,Herbert and Delbonis also.

dude that came in 2nd is crossing over the center hash mark thing when he makes contact with the ball. thats a fault , I believe. It's one on my book, anyway. ( not that its not the goofiest serve ever )

Jay Berger the amat'tennis serve :)

John McEnroe

Me: Those are the weirdest serves i've ever seen Brian Badlestone: hold my beer

Trainor of Federer ljubicic ravishing serve 💪

#1 should be illegal AF. he's using a 2 handled racquet, and each handle has an angle so he can get a different torque that a normal racquet can't get...same thing on his forehand, you can get more whip..and the 2 handed back hand has a HUGE advantage because the hands can be spaced apart more which allows more reach and power. If i were a pro matched up against that guy i'd be like NOPE you aren't using that.

Nick Kyrgios: „am I joke to you?“

McEnroe serve and Hugues Herbert serve is very very similar

Delbonis

Interesting that none of the players from WTA were presented. Kenin for one.

Missing Federico delbonis

Wtf was battistone’s racket grip???

No Stefan Edberg?🤔

When you want to become a volleyball player but forced by your parents to choose 🎾....😅😅😅

Sjeng Schalken had a peculiar motion for his serve if I were to add to the list.

Thr last guy looks like Volley ball serve.

McEnroe looks like Jamie Lee Curtis in the movie Perfect

The last one (Brian) seemed illegal. Seems like he lands in the court before hitting the ball. But he hits it here. Most be frustrating for the referees though

I practiced the great player of the seventys an 80s...Borg...Tanner..Mac...connors...i really didnt see Laver play...but from memory i did 4 or 5...i discovered Tanners to be the most diabolical...on clay hard tru or grass it was unreturnable....what i think he was doing....what is weird serves is these pros who throw the ball really high that has to make watching an tracking the ball hard....macenroes serve the i famouskick serve from hell...when u do it right it is magic...but throws ur back out....ur hitting with a reverse grip slashing up thebackside of the ball coming over it an off the side of the ball to give it look of top spin but the crazy side step bounce an movement 4 to 5 feet ....if u notice he either learned it ot someone taught it to him because he never had it in the beginning of his career....the one thing on macs serve is he uses the same toss disguising in court or out...u dont know where its going...i think to in this video hes switched to a more powerfull graphite racquet here...which is 15 more mph when u hit it cleanly in the middle of the strings...Borgs serve was a good placed top spin..he was good at picking off the edges of yhe boxes...with good power....high tosses are weird it like micheal Jordan is gonna do an ollie opp dunk off one of those high tosses....theirs a lot of weird service motions over the years habits people picked up that coaches dont want to change....fear of inconsistency an comfort...

*Battistone plays volleyball, not tennis.* 🤣😂🤣

Dolgopolov's slow motion serve is much faster than other players. Lol

Look at Sapfo Sakellaridi’s serve

does Battistone's racket have two handles? 🤔

Richard gasquet for sure

How Braasch ever get to that level without coaches correcting that... like wtf

& R. TANNER? 🤔 must be here fo sho!

Battistone must had a lot of foot faults called, it's really hard to tell from this short vid if it's good

Brian Battistone's raquet reminds me crutches for injured or something that has to do with the hospital or for the handicapped, absolutely awesome raquet! Blahhhh

Kyrgios is so good that he isn’t even on the list

No Herbert??

Yup, nos 1 is definitely nos 1.

A serve is like fingerprint

I have some clips of me playing against badistone on my other channel jospo10s =)

Mcenroes serve best

McEnroe was a ballerina.

Funny that After Federer everyone has similar serve

No. 1 is weirder than the other four combined.

.........geeeez......!!!!

What comes the Battistone, I guess a foot fault doesn't count when you're 4 feet in the air

Do the women now!

Hey if you can still get the ace, do whatever works

Where's Berasategui ?
