Vic Braden was the first I heard mention the pronation of the hitting arm, back in 1977, as opposed to just snapping of the wrist, as most teachers teach. Your video makes it much more clear as to the difference. I’ve been tring to explain this to teachers for years and I can tell you that most don’t get it. Most teachers don’t understant the continuous loop the raquet makes either on an ideal serve. You could make another video on that component of the serve as well. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the serving tip–one thing I did not understand or see was the 7 o’clock to 1 o’clock rotation-how do you do that while getting power to move the ball forward as well? Thanks for your help.

Another winning tip Brent.
Im a kinda beefy guy so I have this habit
of trying to bulldoze my opponent by smashing
at the serve and running to the net.

Needless to say, my percentage of “kills” is
frustrating. This second(probably the 1st too)
is one of finesse and allows for more control/placement.

ps: Percentage-wise, where do you recommend the best
court position when delivering the serve ?
I Imagine there are pros and cons for each
standing position but, overall ?

To me, standing at the “T” gives the shortest
distance to the net for an approach. Then again
. . . . . . . .(?)
