A Preview: Tim Henman Serve
Tim Henman is a fantastic server. His serve and volley game took him to 6 grand slam semi-finals and ultimately to number 4 in the world. Take a look at his serve on the right and see if you can identify the key components of his awesome serve.
Here are the pieces to look for:
Do his tossing arm and hitting arm come up together at the same time or does he "stagger" them by lifting his tossing arm first and then lifting his hitting arm?
Does he lift his racket and arm up quickly or is it a slower, more delayed motion?
Can you pause the video and find a "trophy" position where the tossing arm is extended to the sky along with the racket and hitting arm extended to the sky?
Is he upright in his take back, or does his body sink down and fully coil?
Can you identify his "Big L" position?
