Gregr999 - you're absolutely right.

Please don't tell me this muppet is in the UK ! His accent sounded American to me.

I bang your Mom, isnt that why shes always tired?

[gregr999]

Now I'm confused. Just found our that he has another video on the flick serve. I suppose that he is talking about a lower trajectory flick in this video. From this position, a LEGAL drive serve would go over the receiver's head.

A drive serve from this position that does not go over the opponent's head is probably ILLEGAL. Gotta move back a bit from the front service line to hit a LEGAL drive serve. Way too many people violate the serving rules to execute their drive serves.

[gregr999]

It sound like he is actually talking about a "flick serve". Perhaps the terminology is different here in the US than it is in the UK (or wherever this guy is from). A true drive serve is difficult to execute LEGALLY from this position.

Most ppl who try a drive serve from this position commit a service fault, 'cuz the racquet shaft is parallel to the ground at contact (or worse, the racquet head is higher than the handle). One should step back a meter or so to execute a legal drive serve.
