Is there any mechanical/technical difference between the serve and OH, besides the throwing motion angle adjustement depending on how close to the net the OH is hit..?
There's plenty of differences:
- footwork
- contact point
- position at trophy
- etc
The coil, un-coil, racquet drop and all that are different in your opinion?Well for starters, you should be moving when hitting an overhead. Also if you have a pinpoint serve, I doubt you'll be doing pinpoint just before hitting an OH
And there's plenty of other differences. The only thing that it's similar is that you're hitting the ball over your head. Other than that, everything else is different.
I might used the wrongs words but by coil I meant the turn sideways ... which I def see happens on high level players' overheadsRacquet drop is similar, but definitely not as pronounced. There's no coil/uncoil.
No. Just the improvisations you have to make because of the difference in enviroment. Essentially you are chasing the toss, would be hitting from inside the baseline and have a lot bigger service box to hit into.Is there any mechanical/technical difference between the serve and OH
