Learning Outcomes
Students will develop the ability to achieve a full and natural racket drop, increasing the range of motion and potential power on their serve. They will learn to reduce unnecessary tension in their grip and arm, promoting relaxation that enables the racket head to “float” and swing freely. Understanding the role of the non-dominant hand in creating the proper shoulder angle and trophy position helps players position their bodies optimally for an efficient serve. Incorporating leg bend and drive after the ball release allows for a smooth upward swing, maximizing racket head speed without forcing the motion. Mastery of these fundamentals results in a more fluid, powerful, and consistent serve, while reducing the risk of injury caused by tension and improper mechanics.
Description Of Activity
Downward motion of racket during serve, just before upward swinging towards the ball.
