    Food for thought, and please forgive the lunacy of the comparison, but what do you think of Thiem's drop compared to mine?

    Front entry, on edge drop? This is an outstanding point of view. https://youtu.be/Tlhj2HPIJYM

    Pictures shamelessly stolen from the post of jimlosaltos in the Thiem serve thread.

    All good, got a lot of work done the past two days.

    Supposed to rain for a bit so I will keep after the shadow swings and see when I can get back outside.

    Here's one I hit over the curtain back then.

    If I could figure out how to do this every time, I could dethrone Rafa at the french!

    John thanks,

    I remember reading that article when I first joined, maybe 2007?

    I was so happy my racquet drop was on par with Sampras until 10 years later when I realized my elbow was too low.

    It's *very* hard to find information. I guess I'm on my own. Wish me luck guys!

    Leg drive. By chance yesterday I was re-reading Mark Kovacs' Complete Conditioning for Tennis, and thought I'd try some different exercises and chose some of the lower body power development ones, specifically jumping onto a box, and jumping off a box with bounce afterwards. Bit of an eye-opener, I now realise the leg drive in my serve has 'gone to sleep' (tbh it was always a bit weak). It might be worth having a go at box-jumping to re-invigorate your leg drive.
    I'm purposely using minimal legs until I get the racquet path sorted.

    If your car has bad tires you don't put a bigger engine!
