Insane wrist snap and arched back.
Yea it's more of a lasso whip effect. I agree it's a bad term cuase I when I played and knew **** all about tennis I just had my technically horror serve and then deliberitaly pronated my wrist etc.I know a lot of pros still describe it as "wrist snap," but haven't most coaches moved away from this term due to being a bit misleading? There is pronation, yes, but that is a result of proper mechanics.
Yeah I'm not sure Raonic even has technique that's specific for big serving. But he has huge, long legs and long arms so he serves more like he's 2.05 or somehting rather than 1.96.Technique and mass. Raonic is very strong and being tall do the finishing touch. He is not just tall like the other guys, he is a tank. But his unusual technique is underrated.
I usually crap on Raonic and Kyrgios others aspects of the game, but the credit is due when it comes to serve considering they are not absurdly tall like Isner, Opelka and Doc Ivo.
Berdych had a great serve when it was on tho, 2012 USO vs Fed as a prime exampleI would ask why are Berdych and co's serves so bad?
his Fh and volleys are good tooThe real question is why the other parts of his game are so bad.
When the pros bring the racket up from their drop, they actually lead with the edge of the racket and rotate - or pronate - it just prior to impact so the strings hit the ball. They continue this rotation so the opposite edge leads the follow through. Leading with the edge allows the player to generate much more force than leading with the strings...like using the racket as a hammer. The pronation imparts additional power upon impact.I know a lot of pros still describe it as "wrist snap," but haven't most coaches moved away from this term due to being a bit misleading?

Coaches moved away from "wrist snap" in both the serve and the forehand because the connotation is that the wrist plays an active role in those strokes, which is not clearly not true.When the pros bring the racket up from their drop, they actually lead with the edge of the racket and rotate - or pronate - it just prior to impact so the strings hit the ball.

Well a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while they sayBerdych had a great serve when it was on tho, 2012 USO vs Fed as a prime example
are you calling berdych a blind hog, thats not very niceWell a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while they say
more then misleading a recipe if followed for awful servingI know a lot of pros still describe it as "wrist snap," but haven't most coaches moved away from this term due to being a bit misleading? There is pronation, yes, but that is a result of proper mechanics.
does all the right things! he’s very loose, leans in w the hip which is huge, no hitches in the swing, good shoulder turn a la pete, so he really whips into the ball. delpotro and berdych stay more upright and don’t flow all the way through their motions in the same way (btw they both have great serves but since we’re comparing)....
yeah he’s a big guy but he’s been serving huge since he was about 10-15 lbs lighter as a skinny kid on tour.
Excellent kinetic chains--spaghetti arms and pinky finger awareness.Very solid fundamentals combined with height and strength.
unusual in what way?his unusual technique
And lets ad Grothy to that list with history's fastest serve--166 mph....but if you look at most of the really elite servers (kyrgios, goran, milos, pete, even going back to guys like tanner) their delivery is a continuous flow that builds and releases tension like a whip.

Actually this might have been a valid question a few years ago.The real question is why the other parts of his game are so bad.
He had a nonexistent kicker. With his ground game and height he shouldn't be in Murray range on 2nd serve stats.Berdych had a great serve when it was on tho, 2012 USO vs Fed as a prime example

I just discovered his secret!better than delpos, berdych or zverev who are similar height or even taller.

I almost forgot about the 2 minute long highlights earlier this year.
