In today's session, we explain how to move into and out of "Trophy Pose" with a simple and easy-to-replicate image!

The biomechanics of the arm action in the tennis serve involves a combination of movements from the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and fingers. During the serve, the shoulder rotates internally to generate torque, which is then transferred to the arm. The elbow extends rapidly, adding to the overall speed and power of the serve. The wrist and fingers contribute by adding spin to the ball. The coordination of these movements results in a fluid and efficient arm action that is essential for producing a powerful and accurate serve in tennis. Additionally, proper technique and posture can help to reduce the risk of injury to the shoulder and elbow.

The anatomy of the arm plays a crucial role in the biomechanics of the tennis serve. The muscles involved in the arm action of the tennis serve include the rotator cuff muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis), the deltoid muscle, the triceps brachii, the biceps brachii, and the forearm muscles (flexor and extensor). The rotator cuff muscles provide stability to the shoulder joint and help to generate torque during the serve. The deltoid muscle and the triceps brachii are involved in shoulder extension and arm extension, respectively. The biceps brachii and the forearm muscles are involved in wrist and finger movements, which add spin to the ball. In addition, the bones of the arm, including the humerus, ulna, and radius, play a role in the biomechanics of the serve by providing a stable platform for muscle movement and transmitting force to the hand.

His serve on his knees trumps my standing serve. 😮

[jackkoMI]

This is brilliant! Love these easy to remember analogies. Thanks!

[silversnakezx]

Jesus.. this video is a gem. I salute you sir in both ways 😊

[tennissupermarket]

Your videos are so good that they should be illegal😄 great job

[crosscourtrabbitcompletetennis]

Good stuff, as usual. I particularly like your emphasis on the motion to contact being upward, not forward. Many recreational players do the latter.

[ripleypipe]

Another pure gem Steve, thank you for this 'easy to remember' fix. Gordon

[Ivorberry]

Great tips. Love your channel. Keep up the great work!

[aliciamae]

Another awesome video. Thanks for a great channel

that’s so funny, and so easy to remember! proud to be part of your army of followers!

[nickiedaley]

Great concept. Some people will find it risky. But amazing

[YehShano]

This is actually a sensational analogy

[annegross]

Does the “illegal salute” take care of the correct elbow motion?

[furatal-samaraie]

I love this! I don't know if it works but I love it anyway!

[Antontoo]

Where is the leading elbow and racket head drop? Where is the top spin?

Salute is an active arm motion, while the mental aproach to serve should be that of a dynamic throw driven by torso's upward and forward rotation.

I employ similar thoughts. I often imagine that I'm swatting a moth that has begun to hover by swatting him before he ever sees it coming to avoid his darting away from my weapon.

[davidwatkins]

This technique seems to de-emphasize internal rotation of the shoulder, the part of the serve that most resembles a baseball pitcher's throwing action, in favor of arm extension. Shouldn't we be doing both?

[alexdaudsyah]

What a game changer! If you can serve with that kind of pace on your knees, is power coming from the legs a myth?

[juanjosedonayre]

Do you have this great product (the book) in spanish language?

[Better_Call_Raul]

So the common error is not making the normal salute and turning the palm away, as shown at 01:10.
The fix is to make the normal salute followed by the Roman salute. Because if you make the common error, it will then be impossible to make the Roman salute. But if you make the Roman salute, it means you made the proper normal salute earlier,
Is that the idea? 🤔

Imagine tapping the back of your head with the racquet...
