In these drills, we isolate mechanics—like using the kinetic chain for your serve or the correct cutting motion for a slice—so you stop relying on luck and start playing with intention. Technique is the barrier between a recreational player and a real athlete. Whether you are training at Modern School, Barakhamba Road, or my Mehrauli courts, the principles are the same. We focus on biomechanics because a beautiful serve with an ugly percentage is just a waste of energy. ### The Kinetic Chain Your serve should not be an arm-only motion. We break it down into five phases: load, toss, jump, hit, and land. When you get the rhythm of these transitions right, the speed follows. If you are struggling with your second serve, we work on removing the warmup and forcing focus from the first ball. ### Why Hand Feeding? We use hand-feeding to isolate specific swing mechanics. It allows you to generate your own power without the distraction of a live ball. This builds the muscle memory you need for high-pressure points. We also use specific feedback drills, like reading the brand name on the ball at the moment of contact, to correct timing issues and stop those annoying mishits. ### No Shortcuts You won't find fluff here. We train for consistency. Whether you are an adult recreational player looking to fix your slice by cutting across the body, or a junior development athlete needing a pro-level serve, the process is the same. Stop asking when the results will come and start focusing on the process. Build the level, and the results will follow. ## About Arnav Alok Goel I'm Arnav, and I don't believe in quick fixes.
