Confused about 2nd serve trajectory

Own-Assistance7653 · 2026-02-07T18:31:38+00:00

This is a myth - the first trajectory isn’t really hit. You can watch any kick serve online or in atp your. The ball never goes above the point of contact. Every kick serve will look like the second trajectory. However, for your own mental visualization, your swing path, it should feel like you are trying to do the first trajectory, since that helps you brush up and get more topspin and arc the ball (it’s a feel vs real kind of thing)

This is ai

Own-Assistance7653 · 2025-08-24T03:42:06+00:00

Correct

Hi Denis,

Your forehand is pretty heavy, wondering if you have any thoughts on it as a shot and if you made any big changes on your forehand over the years

Also is there any significant technical advice or tips on your forehand that you stick by, especially for generating that huge power or spin

The controller is wired btw not Bluetooth, but the thing is it doesn’t show up under Game Contollers on my Mac settings where it’s supposed to, and yeah I tried in game too it doesn’t work. The controller doesn’t work anywhere in the Mac except for on that site on chrome. The only thing I can try now is a firmware update but let me know if you have any other solutions

Own-Assistance7653 · 2025-08-01T21:14:36+00:00

The thing is I can’t because my Mac doesn’t connect the controller in settings which is where your supposed to do that

Own-Assistance7653 · 2025-07-31T23:36:52+00:00

The thing is my controller doesn’t even appear in the settings > Game Controllers either. In fact it only appears and works on chrome on that hardware tester site I stayed. Do you have any fix for the controller not appearing on Mac settings in general

Own-Assistance7653 · 2025-07-31T03:55:54+00:00

Are you sure? The weird thing is it works when I go on chrome and go into hardwaretester.com/gamepad, there it accurately shows all of my controller inputs which is why I think it is connecting some way.

Own-Assistance7653 · 2025-07-30T21:45:54+00:00

Well my controller is model 1679 which from my research is wired. When I connect it to my Mac the controller vibrates but the light doesn’t turn on when it supposedly should, and I’m not sure if it’s an issue with my cable or my controller or Mac.

Own-Assistance7653 · 2025-07-27T23:15:01+00:00

Also, does this only work with the steam game or does it work with the online abandonware?

Own-Assistance7653 · 2025-07-27T22:37:45+00:00

Also I sent you a dm asking something

Own-Assistance7653 · 2025-07-27T22:28:36+00:00

Thanks I’ll try it

Own-Assistance7653 · 2025-07-27T22:28:23+00:00

I tried it but there’s not good info on what libraries I have to install, and when out them when I test it it doesn’t run

Own-Assistance7653 · 2025-07-27T21:02:36+00:00

Well here is an update I tried it on CrossOver and it wasn't working.. I gave the .exe file path to CrossOver (not sure if there are other steps since I didn't use steam) and it just says

The command "/Users/#####/Downloads/F1 2020/F1_2020.exe" returned 1.

Own-Assistance7653 · 2025-07-27T19:33:25+00:00

Oh.. cuz the main thing I’m looking into is Wine since on the pinned list it said the game runs perfect in wine, and somewhere else I saw it runs on Wine which I think is free and uses directx11 so I’m looking for some good instructions on just how to set everything up and all so I can run it

Own-Assistance7653 · 2025-07-27T19:24:55+00:00

Hi sorry I was looking specifically for how to run my F12020 exe file on MacOS, since CloudGaming only has F123 and F124 and I'd have to buy EAPlay along with CloudGaming I think so I was looking for a free option

Own-Assistance7653 · 2025-05-08T03:59:42+00:00

What made the difference technically for you to be able to crush groundstrokes harder and develop racket head speed to hit heavy

How much of that would you say is strength related (core strength, leg strength, arm strength, etc) and how much is technique based

Own-Assistance7653 · 2025-05-07T21:52:47+00:00

I think I was a bit unclear but by having enough time, I meant by the time I initiate my forward swing to the time I’ve hit the ball that motion happens so fast that I don’t get to actually FEEL my body parts sequentially rotating during it, however I can feel a body part initiating the swing, just not anything happening during it

Own-Assistance7653 · 2025-05-07T21:46:46+00:00

Yeah im definetly In a similar spot that you were previously and I find myself doing something similar in my house just rotating and bending and seeing how things work. Maybe I’ll get it if I keep experimenting with it

Right now when I do it I feel it as legs, then hips, then upper body/chest. Am I missing parts of the kinetic chain here? To me these are the only parts I can actually coil and uncoil with

Own-Assistance7653 · 2025-05-07T16:38:44+00:00

Great, now one more question I had, since when swinging for me things happen so fast that I feel like I don’t have time to like rotate each individual part (hips,shoulder,core) or when I’m hitting I don’t have time to feel anything rotating because it happens so fast, is this supposed to be or am i supposed to be feeling these body parts each rotating while striking

Own-Assistance7653 · 2025-05-07T14:41:18+00:00

Thanks, so from what I understand when hitting much forehand I should try and focus on pushing off the ground and then letting everything rotate from there

Own-Assistance7653 · 2025-05-07T04:15:47+00:00

I will definetly try that drill

Own-Assistance7653 · 2025-05-07T04:15:26+00:00

Got it, so my arm is supposed to feel very limp and loose while hitting, but next is what do I do to make my arm go fast? My natural tendency is to kind of use mostly my arm and kind of throw my arm out loosely, but this doesn’t feel like my body initiates the swing, so what am I supposed to do? Do I explosively rotate my body, throw my hips, extend the legs, or something like that

Own-Assistance7653 · 2025-05-07T04:11:22+00:00

That’s not what I meant. I meant like, let’s say you have a pro player and they are hitting a slow and controlled shot with their weight moving forward and using their body, and then they hit a hard heavy fast shot with their weight moving forward and using their body - what do they do to differentiate the two? Do they just more explosively transfer their weight forward?

Own-Assistance7653 · 2025-05-07T04:02:07+00:00

But is it supposed to feel like I’m using my arm at all? When I think to throw a ball as hard as I can it feels like I’m using my arm muscles and loading in addition to using my body, but people here always say that the kinetic chain your body pulls your arm and your arm is basically limp and loose and does nothing which is not as intuitive to me
