I know this is a vague question, but as a very approximate and rough rule of thumb, how much percentage of the spin on serve would you say should be generated by your wrist, and how much by your arm?

Hi Ji-Soo,

Another interesting question.   I Think 80 to 90% is generated by the wrist and the rest by the rest of your body because the wrist is where you generate the speed of the racket and that is what helps to generate the extreme spin.
