Is maria sharapova really dating andy rodick?
I feel well-qualified to answer this question because I'm a nationally certified Tennis Instructor as well as a Mechanical (the study of movement) Engineer.Contrary to popular belief, it is not the arms that provide that bulk of power on tennis shots, regardless of shot. Instead, it's the legs. The legs are the where all the power begins as you stand up and use them to uncoil your upper body into the ball.
Second most important in producing power are your stomach muscles.
I know it seems hard to believe, but the arms abslotuely do not provide power. In fact, you need to maintain only enough strength in your hitting arm to keep your racquet in the backswing position, then allow it to get as loose as possible just before you swing forward so you'll be able to snap your wrist into the ball.
By going limp like this, you allow the power generated by your legs, as you uncoil your upper body, to ultimately transfer all of the generated power into your wrist. This is, in fact, very similar to cracking a whip.
Indeed, using your legs, letting your arm go limp, and snapping your wrist is especially the right way to hit the serve powerfully.
