I'll text Brian, hopefully he won't mind.

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!

I'll text Brian and ask for his thoughts, hopefully he won't mind.

Awesome!

Brian said there are infinite number of ways of dropping the racquet not just 2. Feels his method is the opposite of this guy's for quantitative reasons.He thinks there's a lot of bad information on the internet. People giving opinions with no scientific basis.

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

Bad information on the internet. I am shocked. J here is an option from an article I did with Paul Goldstein when he was on the tour.

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.

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

Envy the east when it comes to that.

Other reasons just now, no...

How's it going J011yroger? Next time I get out (on the lawn!) I'm going to toss lower, explode legs more, and keep shoulder super loose. Should be epic

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.

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.
