Sampras racquet drop was insane

Not really new information, but it's kind of incredible, and not sure which other servers do this.
Even with elbow to the side and and at shoulder level, Racquet drop almost to the knees.

Compare to hard serving Roddick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZbxKuLEP_o&t=03s

Roddick serves faster.
Everyone is built differently. Sampras has long ape arms.
