Hi All,
I am a club-level player with a reasonable serve for club level play (nowhere near as good as some of the videos here though!) but I am having a few problems getting it to look 'correct', in particular the "trophy pose" and keeping my elbow up. I have watched many youtube videos, in particular Jeff Salzenstein and "elbowing the enemy" but nothing is really working. Wondering if anyone here can give me tips to get this fixed?!
During the service motion, my elbow seems to be tucked-in at the trophy position, right before the racket drop. I have tried every method of correcting this and I think I can 'mime' the correct motion without a ball, but the moment I attempt this on a court with a ball, although it feels like I'm doing the right thing, my phone footage shows there is barely any change.
Pictures of what I'm trying to describe (apologies for the quality!):
Any tips to fix this?
Thanks.
