This information is not only extremely useful for those
looking to improve their tennis serve, but also for those looking from a
coaching perspective. The information in this blog is beneficial to tennis
players and coaches at every stage of learning. A beginner can familiarise
themselves with the serve by breaking it down into different parts, an
intermediate player can practice through isolating an aspect of their serve and
repeating it until they feel competent, and an elite player can fine tune their
serve.
This information is also useful to those sports with similar
throw-like movement patterns or bat swings. In sports such as baseball and
softball, batters use a similar kinetic chain. The movement starts in the lower
body, legs and hips, and is then progressed through the shoulders and arms, and
finalised with a wrist rotation. While these four sports have completely
different ball contact techniques, the overall throw-like movement principal is
used to maximise power, speed, distance, accuracy and potentially the result of
the game.
