@serveacebyvesa: Read below if you are struggling with a racquet drop ⬇️ The phase of the serve where the racquet drops behind the head is called the COCKING PHASE! WITHOUT THE COCKING PHASE, THERE’S NO GOOD SERVE! 💡This is the last phase where we store energy, and in this phase, all the energy is concentrated in the upper body. At this point, the legs only act as anchors to stabilize the body. ✅ Several things need to align for a good racquet drop: 1. The elbow must be high, pointing towards the sky. 2. The chest should also face the sky (thoracic extension – make sure to extend in the chest area, not the lower back). 3. The racquet should point toward the back hill. HOW YOU ENTER THE COCKING PHASE DEPENDS ON YOUR STYLE! ℹ️ There isn’t just one correct takeback (backswing). In tennis history, we’ve seen servers with a long takeback (Ivanisevic), a very short one (Roddick), or something in between (Isner). In the end, what matters is entering the loading phase of the serve (the trophy position) correctly. However, the style I’m demonstrating in this video can help if you struggle with the racquet drop. Allowing the wrist to lag behind the arm and whipping the racquet while it’s still on the right side of your body (when viewed from behind) will speed up the racquet as it passes your head and help you enter the cocking phase better. 🔑 The key to this is a relaxed arm, wrist, and grip! ‼️What I recommend is first checking your range of motion: * In shoulder external rotation * In thoracic extension If you have limited range in any of these areas, that could be the direct reason you’re struggling with this phase of the serve motion.
