“The verdict is in! My serve is dramatically better after a month -- in terms of speed and consistency. Using the videos you made I decided I would make improving my serve a "twenty-hour passion project. So, I logged in my start time and my ending time as I do with my medico-legal consultation -- viewing the videos, making notes, doing the exercises and stretches, practicing the serve. I've sailed through twenty hours, putting in around an hour a day for a month. And I look forward to more progress. Thank you very much!”
