Customer Reviews / Nick Bollettieri's Stroke Instruction Series: Sonic Serve DVD
Good video regarding how to generate high speed serve, but strongly believe video should have more content on other serve types. I believe that when I apply concepts learned from the video, I will see improvement in my serve technique and speed. I do believe the video will help my game.
On the other hand, I agree with another reviewer about annoying drum roll sound used excessively in the video -- wish that were completely eliminated. Also, wish video took several minutes to demonstrate serve variations and explain how to create a super slice or kick on serves. Lack of this additional instructional material on a relatively short video is disappointing.
There is a very annoying drum roll sound that is very distracting and bothersome. A bit dull and
The Sonic Serve provides very advanced instruction in minute detail. This DVD analyzes the world's six best serves and finds common fundamentals in each. It analyzes each part of the kinetic chain of movement through high speed video. The serve taught in the tape involves the entire body, the legs, hips, torso, chest, shoulder, arm and wrist. Slow motion video emphasizes 360 degrees of racquet rotation with pronation of the forearm and wrist. If you are looking to utilize your entire body to create sonic booms with your serve, this is the DVD for you.
However, obviously lacking are the all too important features of spin and slice. At the end of the DVD, Bollettieri promises a follow-up session in a "couple of months". The months have turned into years and still no Sonic Serve II. If a kick serve is what you are looking for, send Nick Bollettieri an email and ask where the next installment is.
In spite of the lack of subject matter on slice and kick, the Sonic Serve is great for the player who wants to squeeze a few more miles per hour out of his service motion.
