Tennis Tossing Motion – Speed Kills

June 30, 2009 By Brent Leave a Comment
That’s right, too fast of a tossing motion and your serve consistency takes a major hit.

You get zero value for power, spin, and placement control with a fast tossing motion.

A high quality tossing motion is supposed to accomplish 2 main functions.

#1 is to be able to place the ball exactly where you want it to be depending on what kind of serve you plan on playing, and,

#2 a quality tossing motion puts you into an ideal hitting position set up.

If your toss is too fast, guess what, you might get the ball where you want it to be, but the chances of you achieving an on balance hitting position are slim.

Slow it down, find a tempo (a rhythm) in the speed of your arm going up prior to when you release the ball and then maintain that tempo all the way up to your tossing motion finish position.

Your toss has 5 major parts.

1 – Your starting position with your hands
2 – The straightening of your arm as it goes down to your thigh
3 – The upward motion of your arm prior to releasing the ball
4 – The specific release point of the ball
5 – The finish position of your arm at the end of the tossing motion

I like to feel that when I start my arm going up from my thigh, that once I make that initial move up that the speed my arm goes up stays constant until I finally get to the finish position of the toss.

There’s a tempo, a contolled speed, with your arm going up and at no point should that speed change, especially when you release the ball at about the top of your head.

A clean arm spped tempo when you toss gives you a much better chance of settling into the ideal hiting position.

If your serve’s tossing motion isn’t just right, your serve is going to suffer, and guess what, when your serve suffers, normally the rest of your game takes a hit…

2nd Serve – Maintaining Racket Head Speed

June 27, 2009 By Brent Leave a Comment

One of the biggest problems we create with our 2nd serve is if we slow the racket down just prior to contact.


For some of us, it’s instinctive to slow the racket down to make sure we at least get the 2nd serve in play. It’s a push…

A slower racket head through the ball takes away the possibility for quality spin.

With your 2nd serve, you’ve got two obvious basic challenges. Getting the ball safely up and over the net and then back down inside the service line.

If you have low to no spin, once you get your 2nd over the net, you’re then relying totally on gravity to drop your serve into the service box.

That becomes a major opportunity for your opponent.

The key is to maintain, even accelerate, your racket head through the ball to produce a high quality spin that solves both of those challenges.

The spin you produce by hitting up actually curves the ball back down inside the service box…
