The straight back method makes it easy to time the contact
point, but it does not take advantage of the time allowed with the ball toss
path by utilizing another power source, the high elbow technique.
The
straight back method is also not as deceptive as the angled ball toss,
because the returner has an easier reading the ball toss..
The high elbow technique when synchronized correctly with
the rest of the service sequences result in a more consistent, powerful and
deceptive service. The major difficulty of the high elbow technique, taking
two steps diagonal service motions, and an angled ball toss is timing the
contact point correctly.
Because physically, it is more difficult to hit an angled
ball’s toss than a straight ball toss and synchronization of the high elbow
technique into the two step diagonal service motion is another timing issue.
But these top pros techniques are worth your time, because when you began to
develop a nice smooth rhythm and timing your drive serve correctly using
these top notch techniques, you feel like you are on top of the world, as
your drive serves are coming off your racquet effortlessly with a minimum of
efforts.
