So, i've been thinking. Will Hamilton mentions that on a kick serve, you make contact at a lower point (or something to that effect), and this makes sense because you need to go low to high.
On a groundstroke, if you hit it at a higher contact point, the topspin can be harder to generate, thus why many people struggle with the high ball. It's easier to crush those flat, right? Now a ball at waist height is prime for topspin. You can get a good low to high motion, and still feel comfortable.
Let's connect back to the kick serve. If we hit it at too high of a contact point, it will end up flat, no? (Or at least, flatter than it should be)
What i'm getting at is, could my contact point on my kick serve be preventing me from getting a good topspin trajectory and kick on this serve?
P.S. Don't hesitate to let me know if i'm crazy and this is just some incoherent rambling.
