Is it a bad idea to think of rotating faster..

[hacker_101]

for groundstrokes and serves?

I tried thinking of rotating the trunk faster today and found the ball did have a higher velocity. Should this be something you are consciously thinking about when you want to add a little more zip? Before today, I added a little zip by thinking about being calm, loose and fast. Has anyone else tried faster trunk rotation in practice?

Thanks in advance,

Trunk rotation should be timed such that all power from un-rotating or uncoiling may be released into the hit whether it is a serve or a ground stroke.
