Will Hamilton: The first step of the serve the stance and behind me here we’ve got a shot of me and my stance, and we’re going to moving on my feet first. What I’ve done is I come up to the baseline. I’ve got my front foot directly behind the baseline angled diagonally into the court and I’ve got my back foot behind my front foot and my back foot is angle parallel with the baseline.
If we pull this back out to the wide view, I’m holding the tennis racquet with the continental grip or something close to it, an expectable serving grip, I am point the racquet at the net and I’m holding the tennis ball against the throat of the racquet. Now this stance here is commonly called the party stance because it’s very similar to how you might stand, if you’re just talking to somebody at a party.
Behind me is a shot of Tim Henman in the stance is one of the prose that uses the party stance, and if we focus on its feet for a second, he is got a front foot angled diagonally into the court and he is got back foot behind this front foot running parallel with the baseline.
If we clip to the front view, he is pointing his tennis racquet at the net and again he is holding the racquet with an expectable service grip. And if we move in on his hand holding the tennis ball his other hand is left hand why you’ll notice that is holding the tennis ball against the racquet but it’s also holding the ball in his fingers and that’s important we get in the more detail about that the net video, which focuses on the toss.
