This stuff matters for people competing with others on an even playing field. Serena just wasn't in that situation for most of her career. Nowadays, she's just following her habits, even if she is no longer the singular dominant force in women's tennis.

Thanks for explaining this. Every time I see the heavy hitters choose or reject a ball I've wondered what they are looking for. Also interesting how each player "gets in the zone" before serving, especially Rafa with his shorts pulling and hair swiping ritual. Each player has their signature moves.

The coach hits the nail on the head, the fluff essentially fluffs up the players perception of ability in a stressful situation. The problem with rituals is if you miss it then you blame the ritual and not your ability under stress. Treat every point as a new day and learn from your mistakes without carrying them into the next.

@gandelve

The fluff means more air resistance, which means slower speed, and the spin gets more curve through the air. A worn-down ball with short hair flies faster. Not ritual but science.

The biggest plot twist is tha Michael Costa of The Daily show is a former pro tennis player ???? Like what????

Thank you so much for this video !

That was very interesting thanks!

The fluffier ball let’s the strings dig in and impart more spin for a second serve. That means the top spin will drag the ball downwards and, hopefully, into the service box. Or, at least, that was my understanding of it.

Thank you Vox for tackling the important stories. Looks like life is returning to normal!

Didn't know I needed this information, but feels great to know this 🙌

Thanks a lot for this video. I always wondered "what do these players see in a ball and choose the correct one right before they serve"!!! Now I know why :D

Scrolling down the comments just to see if as many people were surprised as me to realize Michael Kosta was a professional tennis player, and not as part of a comedy bit.

Honestly, never once thought about this when playing tennis. My only preference when serving is, if I've won the previous point, I want the same ball back for my next serve. And once I've lost a point with a certain ball, it goes in my left pocket and isn't used again until (if) I've lost a point with all three and the cycle has come back to the top. But I've never once assessed fluffiness.

I legit always wondered about this. Thanks vox.

Thank you for answering something which has been plaguing my mind for so long

Kosta mentioned he was a professional tennis player but I thought he was just kidding

Overall breakdown: A newer smaller compact ball is used to serve faster for the 1st serve A used bigger fluffier ball is used to serve slower for the 2nd serve

Well, thank you for the information, that is exactly what I wanted

kosta, from tennis player to comedian... my hero

This video was necessary. Thanks

I shave my head before I sunbathe, so that the air can flow around me at higher speeds and therefore my sweating is more effective.

Thanks for the info...

I’ve been asking myself this question for so long! Finally got an answer.

Tennis is so much more of a head game than people think. I’ll never hit a second serve with the same ball I just faulted. Screws me up every time.

Daily Shows Michael Kosta was a tennis pro?!? Nice!!

Always wondered why they did that. Thank you Vox, this video was needed.

If there's more drag, that'd mean the ball will go from flying straight to arcing down earlier in its flight, which would mean you'll have a greater degree of angles allowed in your serve between hitting the net and overshooting the serving box, so I definitely see why the higher fluff ball could be seen as a safety ball.

Who else thought it was a joke when Michael Kosta came on? I’m so used to laughing with him The Daily Show 😂

I'm surpised that many people are surpised that Micheal Kosta is a professional tennis player. He have said that he was a professional athlete in some of his segments in Trevor's Daily Show.

thanks for the video as a tennis player myself I never actually stoped to think about it, but I have been doing this unconsciously for years

Dude I love Kosta but it was a major major surprise to find this out about him!

I would actually add some thing to the whole ball picking idea that might’ve been overlooked in this video... A big part of which ball the player chooses sometimes can be based off of pure superstition. If a player has won a huge or important point with a certain ball, then you will often see them try to chase down that particular ball and play another point with it or vice versa - they will get rid of a bad ball. I think that plays into which ball they choose as much or even more than the fluffiness of the ball

Lord Danil!!! All hail!!

Vox is so great at making me learn about things that have no feature in my life.

thank you so much for explaining this thing.... watching tennis for 5 years and still didn't know abt this...

Thanks for this video Vox. I had this question on mind for a long time how the players choose a ball or two from 4?

I think it's more about the psychological confidence it gives to the server than the actual 5 miles per hour or however much speed is added to the speed
