No prob. There are definite visible differences for sure. I have my own in mpg format. I will put it up here soon.

To compare and contrast Nole's serve with Federer's have a look here:

Thanks for posting both of these Tim.

Haha! I have golf shot on my Sony camera, but it doesn't put one frame on top of one another like that. Does make it look like he's MJ (Air).

Yeah, I think those coaches have to know that there are and were great pro serves which let the ball drop a significant distance.

If you notice that the Ball is within reach at all times. too bad that you cant see the  base line. I think he is in one sport and the image is spread out. that or he is running through the shot or has a 2' vertical and a 15' forward jump.

Last time I saw some one move like this pic was in a anime fight.

It looks like the old coaches that say to toss it just above your racquet and no higher are working with outdated intel.

What is significant here is how long Djoko keeps his toss arm vertical after release, allowing the loop behind the back to be more horizontally elongated, creating a better racquet drop. His toss is sufficiently high enough for this to happen as well as his head and chest remain tilted up from trophy to contact.
