Hey Will,
I’m curious about your take on the ball mark readers. I’m confused because it seems to me that the ball is a sphere not a flat disc. When I watch matches on TV and they use the mark machine they zoom in and if the least little hint of the ball touches the line they call it good. My contention is that the ball is not touching the line. Okay the shadow is touching the line but the ball may not be because it’s a sphere not a flat disc. Am I crazy or do they take this into account with they way the machine reads the ball and contact to the line?

Hi Jeff. I don’t know precisely how the technology works, but I think it’s safe to assume the inventors took the fact that the ball deforms when it lands / skids into account. I, for one, am confident in the system.

Hi Will.I’m max.I’m from Ukrain.Thank you for your lessons.I can play only becous of
the lessons.And nobody belive that this is possibel to learn how to play tennis through internet.But I do it and it’s great for me.
I would like to ask you one question,that’s not about forehand,but I don’t know where I should send my letter about serve,so I ask right here.It’s about serve and if to be exact about jump serve.I did everything you teach in serve progresion section but there is nothing about how to train jump serve.Maybe it sounds funy for you but I don’t understand how to get it without you help.I realy need it so much.If you’ll get this letter pleas help,if it’s possible.

Hi maxim. You basically jump as you transition to the racket drop. If you watch our serve fundamentals videos, when a pro reaches the racket drop they are fully pushed off their legs and they’ve just left the ground.
