Are talking about motion, or effectiveness?  For serve, Karsten Braasch.  Check it out.

Dude, that's an interesting serve. I like it. :)

Brad Gilbert agrees with you.

Mecir's lazy cat serve: http://youtu.be/z2bzlj4ypvw?t=4m44s

That's not so bad.  It is smooth and fluid anyway.

He had to resort to hitting serves underhand, he lost rhythm and confidence. I remember that.

My recollection is that Mecir's bad back is what kept him from doing more with his serve.  He had a decent motion and he was a big guy.  His toss was a bit too far back, perhaps.  But, it seems he should have been able to crank it if he wanted to.

I never saw him serve underhanded.  But, I have seen him throw in what must have been about 75 mph second serves.

His toss was too far behind him. He had the classic palm up, waiter's tray, start the windup before the toss deal. My partner has the same motion, except he throws his body forward and gets some heat. Mecir just lagged beyond the point of no return.

Well there are ways of serving without arching the back too much. Would've helped him.

this topic is so hard
