Had you played a year later, you could have played or seen Michael Chang at the 1987 TransAmerica Open qualifiers at Courtside Club. I happened to watch the qualifiers in center and adjacent court. Who is this kid? Just 15 at the time, and running everything down and running opponents ragged. I kept returning to watch all his matches. One opponent simply gave up, not even trying to run for the court-court pass. Literally. But the experienced 30+ yo journeyman player beat Chang in the finals. Of course, we know what happened one year later! Too bad I didn't take videos of Chang qualifiers! Here's the short version of Tanner's explosive serve. Enjoy. czcams.com/video/se2f5q4ewUI/video.html

@@CahalanTennis Nice! I was in the tourney with other Foothill players. I played on the sunken court & exited early due to a groin pull and bad ankle. It was fun for us local college players to play those pre-qualy tourneys. I sat in Jim Courier's seats with a friend when he played Michael Chang in San Jose in the 90's. Courier was winning until someone yelled out, "Chang is a wimp!" Chang aced Courier on the next service & pointed up at the person, then went on to win the match.

Peach Bottom, as in Peach Bottom BWR nuclear reactor? I resolved startup issues with my control system enhancement around 1974 for the stream turbine pressure control system.

@@CahalanTennis yeah, yeah, that’s the ticket.

Peach Bottom BWR still running? They were huge. Each with four 30” Dia high pressure steam lines at 1050 psi and 2.2 lb/cu ft., causing streamline resonance that I resolved via electronic compensation. I walked along one segment during startup. 20 ft tall streamline stop valves. Control room just like in The China Syndrome. My intro to the real world (vs competer simulation)

Good point. I wasn't keeping the palm down during warmup. Its better when I do. Thanks!

Thanks for tips. I’ve been experimenting with the toss, stance, and bend lately. If the toss is a little more forceful until the arm locks straight, it’s easier to keep pointed skyward longer, and not bring down too early. I was using a more extreme sideways stance until this week for more shoulder rotation into the ball. I’ve also tried to cock my hitting arm more, ahead of final back loop and to my right. Still trying to improve at 77+ !!! czcams.com/video/10aP4MvdAmw/video.htmlsi=kTHcpdFVc4fe-5SW

Those were just warnup serves to get loose and coordinated. My lefty serve is a work in slow progress. So difficult to bring the hitting arm up for final loop. In the video of the subsequent game play, it’s slightly off screen, but note my lefty forehand rip at 40 sec to opposing player (fmr USC Trojans varsity 30+ yrs ago). I’m a 3.0+ player.

Try out the ice cream cone toss that'll help with a consistent ball toss. People tend to throw the ball up but you're actually trying to place the ball in the right zone.@@CahalanTennis

Yes. Thanks

No. Vic thought Roscoe was definitely the most biomechanically efficient server in tennis, but there are slight difference between Vic’s ideal model and Tanner’s serve.

There will always be differences vic always mentions Roscoe 👍

@@user-bm2oe8xd6u well you’re the one who claimed it was “perfect”. I talked about Roscoe’s serve with Vic - and his analysis of it a quite a bit.

@@datacipher Vic thought , that Pancho Gonzalez had most effektive serve. Pancho had just little higher toss

lol. A multiple pro title holder and grand slam champion but you decided to cite a college tennis loss! Bizarre thinking. He also lost in the QF of the Podunk junior Kmart under 12 tournament 60 years ago.

That was 2 years ago in 2021, when Super Toma was only 88. He is still in great physical condition: plant-based nutrition, no prescription meds, extremely low BP and heart rate, no joint pains, and runs to pick up balls, never tired. That's big league!

Now that you mentioned, but that bouncing around and strutting sharply after hitting the mid court winner vs the little people had that exact appearance. Hahahaha

i use simular technique and my serve became much better. there is another possibility : shoulder rotation , knee bend, but it is much more difficult

See CZcams video description for the 12 years he played tennis, and the TennisKid playlist for videos being published on CZcams, with more to come.

Roscoe still had a monster serve at 40, as shown at the clinic. I think this video is the only one showing his serve close up with modest resolution.

Wilson’s old stiffness indicator. 2.7 was super stiff. 8.0 was super soft. However with a stiffness RA 70, the 5.3 is relatively stiff, not medium flex RA65 or flexible RA 60
