many two handers make a quick save or flick with the left hand doing most of the work

we call this a grosjean flick

Eyes up to Hit point

Sweeper — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 17:21:43 +0000

Another very consistent server, Nalbandian has his eyes up to the toss point well after the ball is on its way. One related problem is that servers who get that “extra power” by snapping their head and shoulders forward and down at impact usually have the first problem pretty heavily.

still hitting

in Florida on the way to the Open– hit with PA Perl today– tennis is forever — still hitting at 86– and well

tossing arm

Scott — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 01:32:25 +0000

you want to bring your tossing arm softly down after you release the toss onto your front of the body– this keeps your shoulders from rotating too soon many young players swing this arm quickly to the back of the body

balance to move

While the NFL can get away with murderers and other assorted felons on its rosters, the world is less forgiving. When a Bulgarian or Chinese gets caught for doping, the world equates that with national character.
Cuba joins the Sh*t List today, and it will take 100 years of good playing to erase this rap.

Keep eyes Up to impact

This would be the opposite of the previous Fed post - eyes pulled down early and looking toward the net. The second photo shows even more unbalanced form. Of course if you are 6'2" even the bad serves go in.

eyes up

watch the Fed keep his eyes up past the hit on his serve— this is critical on the serve– it is so easy to pull down to fast

blitzing

when the opponent floats a shot above 14 feet to you — you want to step up and hit a ground stroke on a fly– because you are not inside the service square this is not a volley– this is another approach shot- and you should continue toward the net
