kick serve - racquet ends up on which side of the body???
I have been trying to incorporate a kick serve into my game for over a year now with varying levels of success. Three different tennis coaches have given me the usual brush up the back of ball/racquet trajectory along base-line approach. I understand that, but when I mention to them that it seems that pros finish the kicker on the opposite side of the body of the hitting arm, they all say that that's correct and I should work on doing that. Yesterday, I saw a video on the kicker and it plainly showed and explained that the racquet should finish on the same side of the body as the hitting arm with plenty of pronation. Which is it? I had much more luck in the past with the later approach and trying to finsih on the opposite side of my body has really screwed up my kick serve. Thanks for any help.
