Great lesson Jeff... i learnt to juggle many years ago and ONE of the key lessons I learnt was to begin with a single ball and toss/release this from your hand and keep your hand open (like the flower petals). The ball should go up and down and fall BACK into your hand (try not to look at the ball either, as you are trying to create spatial awareness which will be important as you add 3,4, 5 etc balls to juggle) and do this as part of a serve drill (hold the trophy pose) and toss/release the ball and ENSURE it falls back into your hand, catch it and repeat. If you can do this you are going to have a repeatedly ball toss, PLUS your opponent will not be able to guess your serve based upon this type of toss/release.

Amazing! I have a very good, powerful serve but only when I have a good toss. Now I know how I can make it happen consistently. I’ve been playing tennis for over 20 years, and now improved a lot from your video on the serve and one handed backhand lately. Thanks a million!

Hi Jeff. Great video (as always). Just one observation: the last tip (face de palm of the hand to the lateral fence instead the back fence) you say (at 8:10) that you can achieve this with "the rotation of the shoulder" (instead of referring to the "pronation of the arm").

I liked the video. Very useful. I would like to see a video to improve my attention on the ball and eye coordination. I once saw in a tournament that the player was with the coach doing some exercises in which the coach threw the ball at him and the player grabbed it with his hand. I think that's what I'm talking about. What other exercises can be done to improve my focus on the ball?. Thanks for your videos.

Great video Jeff. One thing l found is that the tossing arm must stay up just a fraction longer to allow the necessary time for a server to fully load before he/she goes upward to hit the serve. If the tossing arm drops too fast it basically ruins any chance to get power/direction and chances are the serve ends up going into the net.

You were even faster when I had playback set at 125% of normal. :) I tried tossing the ball holding it in my fingertip. One of the fingers often nudged the ball in a direction other than straight up. I have a better toss if I start with the ball in the Palm of my hand. That kind of makes sense because that takes about 3 joints out of the equation. You're the pro and I could keep working on a toss with the fingers, but if I'm already consistent lifting from the palm, what do I gain from a fingertip grip? Strangely, I didn't have much trouble with a fingertip grip before I dinged my right hand and had to switch to my left.

What if you hold the ball like a glass of water?, and still use the fingers. If you hold the ball as if you were holding a glass water, and the shoulder would stay in a proper way where the ball would land in front of you. What your thoughts on what I am saying? Great video my friend.

Thanks for the video. i've just one question. Why is a J toss inferior? If I understand correctly, J toss ensures amature players that boll goes into court, not just up-and-down on the baseline. With your toss that can happen if done unatentively. Any other reasons?

Hi Jeff great video and great tips. I've been waiting for this video:) Another problem with my serve is I find I'm using my shoulder to much just like I'm throwing a baseball. So a video of how to use the proper kinetic chain and a drill of how to get the elbow goung up on the throw would be great. Stay well my friend:)

Try spinning the ball with top-spin out of your hand so that when you hit the top-spin serve you will have something extra on it (called the Magnus Force). It is simple physics. The faster you spin it you will be surprised with the result. As the physics professor, I know plenty of stuff you might try. Spin also stabilizes the toss out of your hand.

Jeff - Ideally, where should the toss be at contact in relation to your body/shoulders/head? If you were to toss and let it land on the court, where should the ball land? For reference, If your head is 12 o'clock where should the ball be? Plus, how far in to the court should the toss be? Thanks.

I think it depends on the type of serve: flat, slide, or kick. For kick serve you should toss the ball over or behind your head... flat serve at 45 degrees and slide is more to the right of the tossing arm...am I wrong? Using the clock would be 12 for flat, 1 for slide and for kick?

Toss is definitely the wrong word to use. How about LIFT? Release is a word that describes the end of the action. Lift the ball then release. How’s that? Let’s all stop using toss.
