Technical Details
- Variable Type: Discrete Metric
- Data Type: Categorical
- Units: N/A
- Column Name: (implementation-specific)
- Measurement: Serve stance type — ‘platform’ (feet remain relatively fixed) or ‘pinpoint’ (back foot steps forward to meet front foot)
Description
Stance position describes how the player positions the feet during the serve. In a platform stance, the feet stay in a fixed relationship; in a pinpoint stance, the back foot moves toward the front foot during the motion. This can affect timing, balance, and lower-body metrics.Use Cases
