EXPLORING THE SERVE-AND-VOLLEY PARADIGM SHIFT

In this episode, we dive into why players do not serve an volley as much as they used to and advantageous tactics around how and when a player can or should serve and volley.

In this episode, Sawinski describes the difference in the American Serve and the Trophy serve. Sawinski also describes which is better and why.

The Advantages of Serving American Style

Players encouraged and trained to develop the American Style will achieve more ball speed and spin than Trophy Style. To do so, USPTA Pros should ob- serve whether the medial epicondyle of the hitting humerus is pointed perpen- dicular to the ground when maximum knee bend is reached and the point of the hitting elbow is in its lowest position.

Episode 5 (Companion Episode to Episode 4)

This is a companion episode to Episode 4. In this episode, we read the article that is referenced in Episode 4 titled "A new direction for racquet head speed - Adding precision to your coaching by subtracting doubt."

Please listen to both episodes 4 and 5.

Nick Bollettieri, the legendary coach, wrote in a 2008 in TennisLife magazine article that “Generating this (racquet head) speed consistently is the solution to a more powerful game.” This sounds compelling. But, will swinging with a high racquet head speed cause the ball to travel faster to the opponent’s court? The answer is sometimes. Will contacting a ball that is below the net with a high racquet speed project the ball into your

opponent’s court successfully?

The answer is sometimes.
