GIVE A TOSS: Fixing an inconsistent toss

A steady serve begins with a consistent toss.

Published Aug 08, 2016

The toss is the most important part of having a strong, consistent serve. Keep in mind that you need to toss the ball to your swing, not swing to your toss. Placing the ball in the same position (around 1 o'clock) takes time and practice. Making sure you're not throwing the ball, and maintaining a steady wrist are just some of the big tips.
