| Many
aspiring tennis players are trying to copy the unique
world class serving style using the extreme knee
bend. It takes quite a bit of athletic talent to
serve successfully with a deep knee bend, high toss
and extreme body rotation.
Many
people just don't have this skill and end up with
a "potty serve". Instead of bending
the back as the knees kick outward in the bend,
players dip their knees with the buttocks stuck
out. The result is an ineffectual push at the
ball. To correct this, the player must go through
a remedial style of serving with the knees absolutely
rigid.
As
soon as any tendency of a dip has disappeared,
the player is now asked to continue serving with
stiff knees, but to bend the back. Of course this
is impossible! As the player tries to bend the
back, the knees will start to kick out in a proper
bend, which is exactly the desired technique.
