Another 'critique my serve' thread
http://media.putfile.com/serve
I'm 15 and still pretty much a beginner. Sorry for the jittery camera and the brevity of it. My camera was running out of memory so I had to keep them short. Comments please! edit: there's a working link. |

Nice ping-pong serve. Try to throw your weight into it. For all three serves, you end up in different positions. Don't fall.

not sure what you mean by 'ping-pong serve'
I don't normally end like that, I just wanted to see my general service motion. Thanks for the comments |

It doesn't seem like it's kicking too much

if you're going to actually use your back, then you might be better off with a stable foundation, rather than shuffling your feet. (much like agassi, sampras, and federer)
Also, turn your back on your opponent, it'll do you wonders |

Thanks for the input, guys. I'll keep those in mind next time I hit the courts.
One thing I don't understand though, is the thing with my stance. I've tried both pinpoint/platform and I'm not sure which is working better. Pinpoint feels a lot more natural but I seem to serve better, albiet awkwardly, with platform. What's the deal with that? |

i'd go with "platform"... that gives something your back to work on, and your hips too
