ARowe:
I read some study a while ago that said the guys on the tour who hit the ball the hardest had the best timing and weren't the strongest. I will try to find it again.

ya well leverages/technique/timing come into play for sure, and make up the majority of how hard you will hit a tennis ball. But, general strength can't be overlooked though, making improvements in strength will either transfer into the shots, allow you to sustain "peak performance" longer, allow you to recover faster, improve injury prevention, or any combination of these factors.

so if you get any of those improvements, it should allow you to improve velocity/ability somewhat.

peace, would like to see the study though, I'm going to drop a tennis peer review thing so I'd stick it in there.
