John Isner: Serve Analysis

Here's what John says about his serve:

"The toss is very important in maintaining a consisitent service motion but there are some other things you should work on as well. 1) Keep a relaxed loose grip on the racquet. This will enable you to get alot more power and wrist snap 2) Always have the same routine before every service motion regardless if it is a first serve or a second serve. Find a routine that is comfortable for you. If you ever watch me serve I always for some reason bounce the ball between my legs before every serve. I don't know why I do this but I always have. Let me know if you ever see me hit a serve before bouncing the ball between my legs- I am pretty sure I do it everytime! 3) Always keep the toss in front of you."

@wietskeane11 I know John's average is like in the 120's, however Andy's is in the high 130's for first serves.

[wietskeane11]

@gwfactions2 155 is the FASTEST serve of andy.. not is average

[wietskeane11]

@TheMickeyjet he didn't hit te ground? so, no foot fault

[SoooBlue]

@gwfactions2 Wasting his potential by pointlessly serving harder? You do realize if he tried this, his first serve percentage would be way lower. John Isner isn't wasting his potential by his serve, it's his one reliable shot.

[gwfactions2]

@SoooBlue True I agree with you and I agree with you example of Federer. The point is John Isner is wasting his potential

[SoooBlue]

@gwfactions2 Roddick is 6'2''. You obviously don't understand much about the serve. An extra 20mph is completely irrelevant if the ball hits the right spots. Despite serving poorly this year, Federer is a perfect example.

Isner will win Wimbledon Open champion 2011. If he come NJ Cherry Hill to get secret weapon, his dream will come true. I am 100% sure. Please email super_king@yahoo.com
