Motion of Gabe S. Serve from the rear left side

Here is the motion. What do you guys think?

Well there is certainly some really good elements in his motion. God knows how a player starts off in such a stance but he seems to pull it off okay. His rear foot is turned 45 degrees away from the baseline. It's a hell of a job to be able to rotate round from that position, but he seems to do it.

I think his racket drop is deep and his internal rotation is excellent also. His shoulder-elbow-shoulder line looks really steep.

It looks a complicated little action I just wonder what the end result is in terms of speed, spin and placement.

Thanks for posting this interesting motion.
