Build A Kick Serve

This is a pretty nice set of articles.


"If you want a big kick serve, you have to develop it OFF THE COURT. Why? Because a kick serve requires, above all, proper body stretch and positioning and getting the racket and arm in the right position before launching UPWARD. You must stretch the proper muscles out off the court and get into the final racket position over and over again, getting the feel for this fully stretched position.

The mistake that almost everyone makes is they think it's all about racket head speed. All their focus is on the racket. That is COMPLETELY incorrect. You can swing your racket as fast as you want, but if your racket and body don't get into the proper launch position, NOTHING else you do will matter. You must get into the launching position first. That has to precede everything else you do. Rest of Article"
