I was wondering what people thought about these generic serving styles that Dougy Eng came up with and Wayno Elderton is discussing in this video (link below). Is the "staggered" style just an abbreviated toss with a classical swing, I mean that makes sense given they have the highest toss, it looks like this with Berdych, but Serena goes a bit lower with the tossing arm. I mean obviously you can't abbreviate the swing and have a classical tossing motion (down to the thigh like the Fed) because the racquet would get there too early in the absence of a hitch which would impair power?
Which style do you you think is likely to suit the majority of players? Do you think one is better for lower level players? etc. Do you think platform and pinpoint stances go better with one or more of these styles? Do you agree on the specifics of the generic styles (i.e. that a low ball toss usually goes with an abbreviated action etc)
