Flexibility and 'body explosion' is always good but... Rhythm is what you need. You want to be accelerating through the entire movement. Now youre quick up, stop, explode-hit.

you need to distance yourself from the ball on both sides. once youve learned that, your strokes have changed and new analysis can be made.

Language is for talking to other people. If youre just gonna talk to yourself you're free to make up your own words.

For Rafa, every monday is a manic monday... #whentherapydoesntwork

I see he has cut down on the number of tibetan monks needed.

Funniest Baseball-event ever. RIP

Ive done that since I inherited my already beaten, bruised and heavily used klippermate five years ago. I have had no problems and I do feel it's advantageous when doing the first six mains. #fwiw

That's pretty much the definition of being confused. "an argument is sound if it is both valid in form and its premises are true" so no. This is just plain wrong I dare anyone to cue something verbally over teh interwebz to ten people they dont know and haven't talked to and get a...

Since Im the one responsible for this thread-drift I'll get @Digital Atheist @Chas Tennis and @Dragy in here as well. In @yossarian 's example above I think we all agree that the instructor wouldnt talk like that. But a (hopefully) probable version would be: <-- Take your average tennis player...

Where do you get that stated goal from? Are you really claiming that as a truth all through the forum? Did you read the OP of this thread saying; "I'd be glad to read technical advices." ...

The timing of the knee-bend is "usually" a factor... #fwiw

Ok. Of course! The answer is yes. True, but also on a heap of other variables. A BIG heap of other variables. I think you are overly fascinated with muscle-length. (see, for example, the summary of this article https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/jappl.1999.86.5.1445) I also...

Could you please show how and/or confirm that your knees hurt when doing a "regular" platform-stance leg-drive? #curiousity.piqued.again

I do. That would be hilarious.

Since Ive already posted on this above (https://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/index.php?threads/does-have-a-john-mcenroe-like-service-motion-put-more-or-less-strain-on-the-body.684015/post-14804476) I might as well add some more. What he does with his shoulder eg. externally rotating it before...

Hmm... The good thing about the JMac serve is that it requires little flexion/extension of the back and practically no "rotation" (I am assuming you mean twisting? aka rotating the shoulders one way and the hip the other? since everyone can rotate their spine by spinning 360 degrees) JMac's...

Ive always been a huge McEnroe fan so I learned/copied that serve as a kid. I can still bang out a decent copy on a hot day but I do have to follow it to the net for some reason. ;)

Why not? Angle of the stance in relation to the baseline is not relevant.

I never said anything about the man. ;) I just said that I didnt find what the man said hard to understand. However, I do appreciate any excuse to post Yardbirds so I'm happy you misinterpreted my response. :cool: (The Faces would have earned you a gold star...)

The Greek Mess...

I did not find that hard to understand at all.

ESR ISR poop?

I tried to find another video I saw once but couldnt find it. So I reverted to Salzenstein. Sorry about that. ;) If you get your leg drive fixed 'properly', youll be opening more of your chest to the ball and staying more sideways automatically which will, in turn, help with your kickserve. I...

1. Youre doing great considering the short time youve been playing. 2. You need to re-learn the way you are jumping into the serve aka your leg-drive. This will create lots of positive things for the rest of your serve. I found a video by a former atp-pro where he explains what you are doing and...

LOL "Jake Speed", you are now my favourite new troll.
