My serves were not good enough for the app - shows you what level of serves are coming and will come.

Here was my attempt a while back to copy Yoshimura. What a hypocrite I am.:p

Yoshimura hides the ones that people struggle with with his head.

This month, I have decided to do no backhand serves and focus on my forehand serves. So it is partly a self-imposed mental block.

Added video. Do comment.

No editing, rapid fire serving with no recovery (bad habits).

Arcman was not even in my thought process, sorry. At this point, anyone who takes him seriously is either unfortunate, doesn't read the web board closely or is getting a heavy dose of what they deserve.

Other than using the arm correctly, what I will say is that many beginners and even intermediate players underestimate what is possible with practice. They tend to just get spin with a motion and thinking that doing the same thing will get better and get them more spin. It doesn't quite work...

You see, Tyler, now you have posted videos, I can see that you are not using the arm properly and I can post you videos that show you how to use the arm properly. Doesn't mean it will be easy to do it, and doesn';t mean it won't be easier to show you in person but I can be sure that what I am...

A wise coach once told me that to get proper feedback online, you need to post video of what you are doing. You have received lots of good advice, Tyler, but it may all not be proper feedback.

Archie, don't let Carl break your back. He doesn't remember what it was like to pick up balls without a ball picking machine.

Keep that rabbit running on the treadmill...

I read too many books a long time ago to believe that I am not some cheap imitation of some far wiser person.

When he grows up, he will learn that other than in politics, it is best to underpromise and overdeliver. Or one will perpetually look and sound like an idiot around smart people.
