This video was helpful in learning the serve loop, but I wanted to see much more than you offered. When you abruptly stopped, the lesson felt incomplete. I, like a lot of other players on the 3 level, have been struggling for longer than we care to remember to develop a sound fluid motion on the serve, but to little avail. Most of us can throw a ball perfectly well–often as far and as forcefully as anyone coaching us–but with a racquet in our hands it all fails.
