...but they are landing in using continental grip. My time frame to hopefully have this right is by next summer. But I still have to use something for now. Relearning continental grip instead of eastern for serving isn't easy! My mechanics look goofy as ever, hopefully that will win me some points!
At this point my shot with the continental grip is consistent and can use spin. It's still lacking power, but that will come in due time. Here's what I've done so far. Not a huge improvement, but my grip is correct. (i think! )

My right foot still comes around, trophy pose is lacking, I don't use my knees, and I look like an androids corpse. Am I pronating? What should I focus on next? I can do archers bow somewhat, or use my knees somewhat (has a hitch movement start), but can't do them together, lol! Is it ok to practise them seperately and string them later?
Honestly, I'm just happy at this point to finally be able to get it over the net with continental grip.
