I was watching the FYB videos the other day to refresh my technique and noticed the emphasis on the palm facing down during the racquet takeback for the serve (I don't remember this before when I watched them months ago). I noticed this was one of those things I never thought about and my palm would usually face forward during the takeback.
Anyways I watched some pro videos and noticed alot of them don't follow this (Roddick), but others such as Federer do.
I always wanted to have a Federer-like motion and it seems the video definitely promotes his style of serve as Will even said in the video that your serve will look like Federers. Sure enough that was the missing ingredient of my serve and now I feel like I have the Federer serve.
What is the importance of this aspect of the takeback?
