Cannot locate this article ...

I recently saw an article on tennisplayer about teaching youth the tennis serve, specifically using:

1. Stand at netting, no ball, hit racquet against court netting
2. Step back from netting, shadow 3-5, then hit 1 ball against netting
3. Face court, shadow 3-5, then serve 1 ball over net

I cannot for the life of me find the article. If you have seen something like this can you please post a link?

Thanks!

Anyone else???

Also, desmond, see the Bollettieri videos, YouTube, free, in which "the serve doctor," Pat Dougherty, is the star. He has a good one where he works with a young Russian lady who never learned how to throw a baseball, with both facing rear fence and doing something close to what you describe.

Thank you, All!

@bottle, yes, that was the one. I got it mixed up with what I was watching on TennisPlayer.
