    Hehe... of course I had picked the best five serves in a row, but it took me about 15 mins before I could get it. :)

    Hey, you guys are not going to believe it but I found the slow motion feature in the camera app already installed in the phone.

    And it's pretty impressive recording at real time but then you set a play back time of 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 playback. I've taken some recordings of my kids and shown them their overhead action from different angles. Then explained the imperfections in their technique.

    Awesome !

    ^ Dang... I need a new phone... :p

    Here's hoping the 4.3 Jelly Bean update will have this feature.

    Seriously, I only played with the camera app today wondering what all the icons were (hadn't played with it before). *face palm*

    Mine is 4.3

    Thanks for the S3 vid Visor. And nice serves btw. :) I recently learned a similar serving technique except I push my hands further out in front of me to steady them. On a tangent, that club looks so familiar. I think I was there last summer....

    And thanks for the tip Cheung.

    Hopefully when I get my new phone (ordered one this week) I can post a comparison (though my serves will not be nearly as nice). I'll try to make it slow mo for you to see.

    Game on.

    ^ Tks. :) Yeah, I think I'm serving way below my 1st rib... I can afford to push my hands out further and consequently up a bit.

    That's Khas in Richmond / Vancouver btw... 18 courts. :) You couldn't have been here summer 2012 as it was just opened Jan 2013 this yr.

    Coming back to this thread, I found that the original camera app within the Note 3 can record in slow motion mode. It is a bit inflexible because you can only play back at the one speed. But it's been good enough for me. 1/4 speed is good.

    Coach's eye has been getting some bad reviews lately with ads interrupting it.

    An alternative to try is ubersense.
