I found a cartoon book called 'Snoopy's Tennis Book," and thought I'd add it to the blog for a little variety. Please watch the short video on the service toss below. (2min) I took an excerpt from a previous post about the service toss. This is the only shot we control, and frequently when we are tightening up in a close match our toss will fail us, affected by nerves. See the form of Venus Williams in the picture above. She is holding those fingertips to the sky with the ball already released. Her chin is up and her eyes looking at the ball.
Notice the target dot in the video that he uses to practice the toss. Please hear where Brad recommends to start the toss and where to release the toss. Remember put a very little bit of pressure on the ball with the forefinger and thumb of your toss hand. Notice Brad holding his toss arm up after the release of the ball. See his eyes and head still held up after the release of the ball. Notice where he holds the tennis ball in his hand. It was great to find this new training aid product, on brad's "square hit" website.
When we all do this simplest task perfect, I am certain that you'll see how it can increase your service percentage, while giving you a certain piece of mind.
