Hmm. That's roughly what my serve looks like. Pinpoint, racket arm crawls up along my body instead of dropping back and raising from behind. I've always wondered if this was a bad trait, and have even been thinking of changing my serve. I never have been able to break about 100 mph, (despite being quite fit and working out) and I thought it was because of my "takeback" in my serve. But if he does this, maybe I shouldn't change..
