This is bizarrely wonderful. In addition to the double stabbing serve, the later shot of the gentleman in the wheelchair with his shot gun is inspirational.

The double stab stiff arm is an acknowledged form at last!

As a high school senior 36 years ago, I had never taken a lesson, had never played much -- but I would best many #1 players just because I ran well and knew it was important to keep the ball in play. I must admit that my serve back then had almost as many irrelevant motions to it as the funny actor's serve has in this funny old movie video here. Many of my opponents would feel so frustrated that they couldn't beat a guy like me who had such a seemingly pathetic serve.

Perhaps some irrelevant motions in service are no worse than some irrelevant motions in the basketball free throw shooting in the NCAA, WNBA, and NBA.
