I bet you misread it as anxiety.

This thread is sureshsingly entertaining
Why do you lift your arms up and down before the motion? I see other players do this, does it have a practical purpose?
Remember Max was a top junior player and copying him may not be for everyone
You changed your avatar??? This deserves its own thread!
I noticed that serves relying on flexibility of arm tend to not work for me in long sets since my body just can't keep up with that stress. I think I am performing more consistently of serve that doesn't rely on that sort of element and shoulder rotation.It keeps my arm loose and fluid since the racket never stops. I'm also trying to copy Kyrgios.

Yes, there is. You are behind me and the twenty people I have recruited to hold spots for me.I misread angina and wondered if there was a line or something.
Something like this should work:Somebody posted this on another thread but the pic got clipped in the avatar:
Exactly what I thought too.Something like this should work:
Can't wait for (business) travel to reopen so I get to hit with Max again!
Maxtennis,
Just wondering if you have any recommendation on the best venues to play junior tennis tournaments in Los Angeles and San Diego. Looking for nice facilities, nice setting.
We are behind the Orange curtain but just in case we want to venture out...

I tried that yesterday with a 3.5 woman (lifting arms up and down during the motion) and it gave great results.
Which one is Federer?
Funny, that doesn't work for me at all.
I've been looking at the Shapovalov serve lately, similar mechanics work for me.

Tomorrow, you will experience my amazing Maxi-style serve.
So instead of a loose arm and utilising shoulder rotation, what is it you rely on? I mean, I always considered those reasonably important elements of any half decent serve.I noticed that serves relying on flexibility of arm tend to not work for me in long sets since my body just can't keep up with that stress.

Pete Sampras's serve is one prime example of not relying on loose arm and shoulder. If you don't believe me, try it yourself.So instead of a loose arm and utilising shoulder rotation, what is it you rely on? I mean, I always considered those reasonably important elements of any half decent serve.
Loved his showmanship but he tend to choke. Sinner however on the other end, is playing really like Federer game wise.I love Shapovalov's serve (and game in general). I'm trying to copy that snap he does at the end.

A lot of times people were taught when serving you need to loose arm, and hit up, then extend your arm to do high five. This sounds simple but at high level serve it is asking a lot due to how fast the body moves the arm and shoulder simply cannot keep up let along control.Are you saying Sampras' arm and shoulder were not loose?
If he didn't rely on them, what did he rely on?
It's hard to contemplate a serve that good without a loose arm and shoulder.

Even better results if you rock back and forth via the hip.I tried that yesterday with a 3.5 woman (lifting arms up and down during the motion) and it gave great results.
Why don't you just volley like Edberg and serve like Sampras already...?

The momentum to accelerate racquet in such a short time to that speed is enormous, the racquet with heavy swing weight (I have the RF97 v12, SW is probably around 334 but I have lead around it so it should be around 340 or 345 I think), it is really impossible to change position and control with loose arm and shoulder. I feel the racquet becomes like a hammer when I want to serve fast.
Once I discovered the benefits of Sampras's serve, it allows me to stop thinking about my arm and shoulder so throughout the swing my arm and shoulder relative position will not change. I can't do with a loose arm and shoulder, esp with older technique that I was taught or heard a lot online.
Of course I can't do exactly what Sampras did but more of an inspired serve technique.
I see my serve goes up maybe around 2-3 times faster with more spin than my other loose arm and shoulder technique, and because I don't rely on the arm and shoulder element, I feel I can hit more consistently over long period of time.

All right, settle down! This is a family forum.Even better results if you rock back and forth via the hip.
