great analysis by John who with Mensik make it look so easy; no wasted movements at all; very clean and efficient movements that players can closely reproduce serve after serve

[PrecisionPointTennis]

Absolutely amazing analysis and instructions!!!! Thank you!!!

[cliveburks]

Superb many great observations. The lag aspect is particularly important. I do an abbreviated version on the take back also less athletic ie less leg bend and drive but still possible to learn alot from his serve.

[bournejason]

Your analysis is much better than the other online coach ( the one who focuses on his tossing arm straight into the court)

[Ten-Chi]

Excellent analysis on a wonderful serve, he has a lot of lag on racket needing a higher toss. Wish I could do that ! Would recommend less lag lower toss to regular players.

[Peter-PierreWidmer]

your excercises are very helpful! Sometimesis your language for foreigne people is to fast for understanding all you mean, less is more!, thank you

one other point: Mensik's grip enables him to do complete pronation and add extra topsin and speed

Very efficient and elegant. Reminds me a bit of Kyrios but with a slightly higher toss.
Coach, if I may a couple of questions re pinpoint v platform. First, do you recommend one or the other for certain types of players or ages or body types ?
Secondly, is the pinpoint inherently more efficient? It seems likes the vast majority of pros use it, a bit like the semi-western grip. Doesn't that in itself suggest it's the most suited for today's game ?

What is a strong continental? More to the eastern grip or the backhand grip?

[cpchristo]

Beautiful but way beyond the ability of a club player

Now review his 2nd serve which is nothing special
