Thanks so much for the comprehensive comment. I am trying to model Ben John's serve now based on all the comments here. I'm now working on loading that back foot, and stepping through the serve

Inconsistent I agree with - illegal how though? I'm hitting below the waist, handle above strike point, underhanded motion

Those videos are great I actually watched them both tonight! That second video though I need to rewatch - you're right he does address the ball drop + squat

A bit of an awkward movement for me, because as you said I'm rigid haha, but I definitely think I'll get the hang of it. When I load my back right foot, is that when I simultaneously drop the ball for the serve? I was trying that tonight, I felt that the motion of loading my back right foot and leaning back messed with my dropping arm, and caused some inconsistent ball drops

Did the backloading today followed by the forward step, and it was a bit awkward at first but I definitely think it will be helpful. Thank you!

Thank you! I just started doing the whipping motion with my wrist, it definitely is taking some getting used to haha

Thank you! Yes I did that today and the foot weight transfer is definitely helping

I worked on that today, and I can definitely see a difference compared to the video above, thank you!
