My question is bout what seems to happen somewhere around the contact to the ball on serve. Before and after the contact. If there is one advice I see in many posts its "let pronation happen naturally". And this is what I do. But Im confused about the degree of pronation that seems to change between pros. For me after the pronation my thumb is in 9`clock position. I have a slow-mo clip of Henin serving like this too. Here the strings are facing down after contact.
But then sometimes I see the thumb pointing down at the 6`clock position after contact. Here the inner strings(the ones that hit the ball) are facing to the right(for a righty) after contact. Roughly you could say when I serve, my palm turns 90degrees and some pros seem to serve with the palm turning almost 180degrees. So whats this about? If I try to do more pronation its not natural anymore...
