ur right he does have spin on most of his serve but that was a flat serve u can tell because in his follow through his thumb in going towards his body
During the service motion the forearm pronates so that at contact the racquet face is moving across the back of the ball to the right imparting side spin. Pete Sampras had more spin on his first serve than any other player.
You can see videos on Youtube where the racquet face is flat against the ball on forehands, backhands and serves ~ in fact there can be no other way of contact between the strings and the ball. The issue is the direction of movement of the racquet face at contact. On forehands the racquet brushes up on the ball to generate topspin – even though the contact is flat.
Sampras averaged over 2500 rpm of total spin on his first serve – hence, it was not a flat serve. His second serve had even more spin – measured at 3,500~4,000 rpm.
that was a flat serve not slice so ur wrong lol
MattScottUK needs to relax and stop criticizing. Your tone is completely uncalled for. Besides, you are absolutely wrong. Look at the toss. It’s to more central rather than behind his head which means he is hitting a flat first serve. He’s not even trying to put spin on the serve. Brent is right. The racquet face is flat on impact with the ball.
“the top of the racquet..well no actually it would be the bottom..and this edge of the racquet..this ofcourse being the lower edge..and where is it now? well this is the top edge and errr”
wow..awesome dude
so true
but the birds slow down very quickly
who else can it be? lol
this is Pete Sampras right?
fawk yeah. his serve is textbook greatness. Best ever combining all /every aspect.
no. when u snap ur wrist there are tech two major forces. the 1D kinetic taht u get from flexing ur wrist, BUT with pronation you also another force with is the bigger one. that is TORQUE. tech pronation is the turn of the racquet in a 180 degree(thus torque) this is where most of the power is generated to and released from. Also this torque-ing motion produces less air drag.This pronation is critical to badminton players who can hit birds at 300km/h
fairwayjack, DO NOT force the wrist snap, you will get very bad tennis elbow that way. focus instead on what you do with the rest of your body. the motion should start with your calves and quads, move up to your abs, then pecs, shoulders and tricepts. you don’t force the wrist snap, it comes naturally like a whip cracking. above all try to stay fluid with your motion, start soft and build yourself up step by step until you can do a full motion like in the video.
pronate = stretch..plain and simple, although different pysiological disciplines might attach their own meaning to the word.
Look at 2:52…his wrist is straight and the ball is on its way. I’m driving myself crazy trying to snap my wrist into the ball. I’m going to focus on rotation of my forearm only.
You have no understanding of the physiology of pronation, the movement involved or the structure of the wrist. The wrist is a hinge – it does not pronate – ask any doctor.
The wrist does pronate. Majority of the pronation comes from the arm but the wrist does pronate a little bit. It adds a little extra pop to the serve!
loose in the beginning
then tighten at the end right when youre about to hit the ball
i totally agree with the first and 2nd serve archs. some think a flat serve is a b-line from racquet to service box which in fact is totally wrong. 1 st has more speed less arch and goes thru the court more and 2nd is less speed and more arch and goes thru the court less. i also agree with the racquet speed being similar on both the 1st n 2nd. club players are usually afraid to make a mistake on 2nd serves thats when we see agreat decrease in racquet speed
in serving, what’s the grip… firm or loose?
Wish they had HD and super slow motion when Pete is playing.
nice vid he got it perfectly. it’s like right before he “snaps” before contact, his palm is facing him, but then he snaps back so his watch is facing backwards, and then finished off the pronation, so his watch is then facing him
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA everyone who is argueing about pronation needs to just shut up and listen to this motherfucker he knows what he’s talking about. he is more informed than all of you guys. go fuck yourselves. you stupid dumbass motherfuckers. get a life and a girl and stop fucking around. Chacun de vous va au diable vous les fils de pute.
It takes plenty of practise to get the feel for pronating the forearm and many beginners don’t understand it at first. Even club players can have difficulty with it, hence, Abel mentions that it can be a ‘mystery’. In this video however, he only mentions racquet acceleration which is half the story; the racquet direction at impact is also important especially when analysing Sampras’ serve which is reknown for his development of high rpm’s on both the first and second serves.
Pronation is developed through practise – like anything, once you have grooved your stroke you don’t have to think about it – pretty obvious! (That’s what beginners do during practise to get a feel for tha ball) Many players have a poor service action because pronation is not natural for them – it is learned! If you have any coaching experience how many players start off with the correct movement?
