Excellent. Your explanation should be good for all serves. Do you still make your racquet? I have one. Paul Miller

  No longer making the racquet but still have a few in stock if interested.

Thank you, Tom, for all these years. I discovered you in my mid-eighties since then my tennis was not the same – it became better. I wished I would have discovered you earlier, when I was playing in competitions. Now I play without keeping score, still covering the court as much as possible, trying to follow your hints; also against the wall – a great contender. Thank you. Armando
