Live-Armed and Dangerous: J.J. Wolf and one the most distinctive, explosive serves in tennis
What makes this American’s signature shot so special?
In this article by Peter Bodo for Tennis.com, he interviews JJ Wolf himself, Brad Gilbert (former coach to Andre Agassi & Andy Roddick) and Dr. Mark Kovacs. Some great insights here that can help anyone understand the concept of a LIVE ARM.
“It’s a lot faster than I thought. It’s like when you hear that loud pop of a baseball when it hits the mitt. Or in tennis, it’s when you’re returning serve and the ball just goes past you and pops into the screen behind the court and you’re like, ‘Damn, that ball was moving a lot faster than I thought.’ You can tell J.J. has that explosiveness.”
