Nonetheless, the power of the Andy Roddick serve also made people nervous. His motion was radically different from Pete’s. He has a very abbreviated take back and an exaggerated snap through contact. He was also not at all graceful. Whereas Sampras had smooth and efficient mechanics, Roddick was jerky and snappy. Also, he was using a bigger, lighte...
The Andy Roddick serve is simply a ball of tremendous kinetic energy. From slow motion camera studies using ultra high frame rates, certain things come into view. The balls that he hits average a speed of 130 mph and 2400 rpm. No one else comes close to putting that combined amount of speed and spin on the ball. That translates into one ultra-heavy...
One of the elements that distinguishes roddick’s serve is his ability to create a strong loading and coiling of the lower body through a pinpoint stance. Andy Roddick goes into a deep knee bend very quickly, and this is what gives the motion its jerky quality. At the end of the knee bend, his weight is almost equally distributed to the balls of bot...
Biomechanically, it is very difficult to rotate like Pete Sampras if the stance you use is a narrow one. Sampras uses a wider stance so he is able to rotate more fully. Roddick make up for this minor limitation by being faster in his movements. This is another factor that makes him look snappy and ungraceful. When analysed in super slow motion, he ...
Perhaps the most obvious and studied part of the Andy Roddick serve is the action of the arm from the shoulders to the racket head. This is the part that made people nervous that he’d get injured using such a violent service motion. Holding the racket in the continental grip, Roddick takes it up with an abbreviated backswing. This means that he mak...
All great shots take advantage of the biomechanical concept known as the kinetic chain. The serve is no exception. The kinetic chain in the serve starts from the legs launching up from a deep knee bend, into the torso uncoiling, into the right shoulder going up and over the left shoulder, into the elbow, straightening from a 90-degree bend at the “...
As Andy launches up into the ball, the wrist of the hitting arm drops the racket head behind his head at the same time as the elbow going up and bending 90 degrees. At this moment, he is completely off the ground with his legs already having straightened out, propelling him upward to the ball. The torso is also midway in its uncoiling action. Then,...
The Andy Roddick serve ends with the follow through. His arm starts going down on the right side of his body, but the rotational action from his torso to his shoulders eventually brings it over more to the left side. The tremendous upward leg thrust has carried over the baseline and into the court, allowing him to dictate the point onward. He lands...
