Critique My Serve (video)

[LeeD]

Forget Serena, you want to serve like AmadaCoetzer, at 5' tall, could pummel first serves right at the lowest 100's, and actually get some in.
Serena is basically a true 5'10" and 165 lbs now that she's lost weight. Don't model a serve after her, unless you are built like that.
She'd crush me in a strength match, and most posters here on this forum.

The poster that mentioned Serena is a guy, and by the sound of it a solid player as well. That comment was not intended for Crystal's serve.

I really like all aspects of Justine Henin's game, including her serve, but asking a woman to copy it is like asking a guy to play like Federer.

[Djokovicfan4life]

Didn't Justine model Sampras? Obviously not to the same extreme, but I thought I heard that she said that somewhere.

I don't know how to use PM then. No wonder I never receive any PMs.

I found I tend to toss too close to body with platform stance thus serves go long. Djokovicfan4life is right, work on throwing motion first as I can focus one thing at a time.

I pay attention to have the hammer grip like Dent and I gain more pace with arm pronation (not wrist pronation) when timing is right. No more wrist snap when my racket arm doesn't reach up to the highest point.

You certainly have potential to boost your serve quite considerably.

One thing I note in your action is a tendency to fall away slightly to the left. This is caused by opening the left hip up too early. If you hold your left hip in position longer, your body mometum will follow the swing path. This will lead to greater consistency and will also enable you to crank up the power considerably whilst maintaining control.

Good eye~

Hold left hip in position longer...don't open shoulder too early...
