boom shake shake shake da room
Serving
Oliver Asked 14 years ago
Hi PingSkill coaches,
I realise that many players stamp the foot of the opposite side to their handedness (ie left handed players right foot, right handed players left foot) when serving and I was wondering whether it was a reflex or they just want to frustrate their opponent with loud booms and shaking the room.
Regards,
Ollie

Hi Ollie,
I think it is a bit of both.
It can be part of the action of serving to get more speed through their action but sometimes players do it as a distraction. Technically if they do it as a distraction it is illegal but it is difficult to police this one.
