back when I could compete with the lower ranked pros, it was my first serveMe? Backhand slice approach-shot down-the-line. it's a thing of beauty.
Let me tell U a little story. My dad lives for tennis. Back when I was reasonable, my Dad in played an open tournament, played C doubles with my little brother, B singles and doubles , and then A doubles with me. We defeated several lower pro's but then we got up against a good pro in the semis. My Dad had never experienced that we got roasted 6-2, 6-2 but the funny thing was I'm not sure my Dad's raquet touched a ball other that when he served. It was actually quite funny.Middle ad, wide deuce, slice, flat, what? give us the best one.

Actually, none of the above. Pure power serves to the corners.
Inside out forehand from anywhere in the court. It's a more natural shot for me than a cross court forehand or cross court backhand from the ad side.
Weakest shot is definitely my serve.
Now that my shoulder is back to normal, I'm actually going to be working with a club pro to fix my serve. I think a big reason for my rotator cuff problem was bad serving mechanics for years.
My serve has always been really bad. I learned to play completely on my own. I tried for years to learn to hit a slice or topspin serve or kick serve, but I just never got it figured out.
Weakest shot is definitely my serve.
It's the only shot where I feel like I'm hitting with power.
Lots of dink and dunk other than that.
