What is preparation phase? Placing the ball in the air while the body is getting ready to store the energy (cocking phase) in the most efficient way for the throwing motion (acceleration and follow through phase).

Significance of the LEG DRIVE in the efficiency of the serve motion
What is leg drive?
The first link in the kinetic chain motion of the serve, using the ground reaction forces as the player push off the ground and its efficiency depends on the coordinated and synchronized extension of three joints (starting from the ankles to the knee joints and then to the hip joints)
Tennis Serve
Body segments must be coordinated and synchronized in such a way that a highest racquet speed is generated at the impact point.
Linear and Angular momentum in the serve motion
Linear momentum in the serve motion is achieved when the whole body has reached the height from where the player can produce the perfect upper
Linear and Angular Tennis
As spin is more and more introduced into the game of tennis, there was a lot of confusion how to create a spin in a
レッグドライブ＆ポジショニング
レッグドライブは前回話したキネティックチェーンですごく大事に関わる部分である。まず足を使い地面を蹴りだす力によってボールに勢いが出るのである。地面を足で蹴り出すことによって腰の回転などに応用されボールに力が加わる。レッグドライブと腰の回転はキネティックチェーンにおいて最初のつながりの部分なのでこの部分がしっかりしてない場合ボールに力があんまり伝わらずボールが失速する。
