IMO that's what helps her keep control of the ball and finish/flush it cleanly. Incidentally, a driver who works down in the Phoenix area once told me that Serena Williams has the largest hands he ever "shook." (He has a driving business where he sometimes gets to transport big name sports figures and other celebs around the Valley, in addition to everyday schmucks like me.) I think the size and strength of her hands is a likely reason why she is able to generate some additional power and snap on her serve, giving her incredible velocity. [/QUOTE]
