    Let's discuss Kyle LaCroix's story "The Serve Isn't a Stroke . . . It's a System."

    Kyle LaCroix has written a story for us that will hopefully help you see the serve in a new, exciting, and useful way: A big picture view on how to approach the most important shot in the game.

    Reframing the most misunderstood shot in tennis The serve is the only shot in tennis you fully control. There is no opponent influencing your timing, no incoming pace to manage, no tactical compromise forced upon you.

      Love your system concept! Achieving rhythm to initiate propr sequencing is so important. It seems that focusing on outcomes(like ball speed) lends itself to selective muscle tension which leads to poor sequencing. Feedback of vibration on any joint during rhythm serving at 60% usually clues me into a sequencing problem.
