So I have been noticing a lot of good players end their serve motion with a "butt kick" with their right foot (if right handed). Would you say that's needed for a good serve? Do you think players have worked on that specifically or it just comes with good technique and use of legs? On the other hand I just watched Pliiskova and she doesn't do it and she has one of the best serves in women's tennis.
So, is the butt kick something you should strive for? Or leave it alone if it doesn't come natural to you?
