Description: USPTA Elite Professional Mark Bey offers a few tips on where you should target your returns. Check out what he has to say.
Tip:
There are several components that go into a solid serve technique: grip, stance, toss, backswing, power position, loading, slot, forward swing, contact point, follow through and landing. Each element pays a significant role into the execution of a serve and is strongly connected to the other, like a domino effect.
This week we’re going to focus on the stance: whether keeping your feet apart by using what is known as a platform stance or bringing the back foot up into a pin point stance, the loading aspect is crucial. Check out former ATP player and USPTA Elite Professional Jeff Salzenstein discussing the benefits of using a platform stance.
