Frances Tiafoe serve in slow motion

[farzanroshdieh]

I see a lot of negative analysis. Here is a serve that average player can learn very easily and is very effective. Tiafoe gets near grand slam finals with this. Regular players note these:

1) he starts with straight body balanced on both feet (very stable)
2) his head slightly tilted toss arm straight and down next to racket
3) is holding the ball like holding ice cream cone (no palm and fingers interfering)
4) look how steady he keeps his head (like is golf). As his STRAIGHT arm is going up at uniform speed his eyes (not his head) look up where he wants the ball to be at. (In front)
5) there is no arch back or even bent knees. Just straight arm going up. He just opens his hand letting go of the ball (not tossing it. Not intruding spin to the ball)
6) as the ball is going up IN FRONT of him, his knees bend, racket going behind him. (NO ARCH BACK!)
7) then he uncoils his bent knees, powering the thighs, as launching to the ball he goes towards the ball with his racket.

This is a great serve for average to high level players to master. Consistent ball toss and in front, almost no lower back stress, just bending at knees and using powerful thigh muscles.

Love this.

Tiafoe is a top player, but with this kind of service, no much aces, , lack of power, , 😢
