Brilliant!

How can you come up with THREE drills that I've never seen in 20 years ok coaching. Man, you amaze me. Thank you

Superb - analysis of the deeper problem: imaginative ways to fix it. Thank you!

Another first Steve, well done.

Very good tips, thanks. Last year, I changed the way I hold tennis balls when I serve. I hold them with my palm down now.

Very nice tennis facility and area.

Steve best thing I ever did as a 20 something was hire a coach. Turns out there was a reason I liked his game he was a former City of Toronto champion. That was 47 years ago I'm still learning from him though he's pushed up to many daisies to possibly count. His toss was controlled no higher than necessary. Most importantly simple yet deadly accurate. His arm motion also enhanced his body's uncoiling can you guess how? I just remembered how the other day in fact. At first for a newb it looked impossibly perfect. His serve was rhythmic but clutch was his body served the ball the arm was simply the culmination of all that inertia. The trick was he raised his arm along the axis of the baseline which enhanced body uncoiling because it maintained the perpendicular attitude of the body right up to ball impact. Rhythmic because as he raised it along the baseline axis, he could extremely accurately place the ball right where his body could clobber it most efficiently. Yet he could maintain this rhythm, power and accuracy effortlessly& endlessly. It also was easier to toss a little* ahead of the body into the court. With the ball moving slightly ahead this supercharged the uncoiling. Hope I've described it well enough because it isn't a radical toss it just optimizes the serve in most if not all key areas. As you can imagine years of perfecting that toss made his serve fluidly efficient, effortless yet powerful, deadly accurate yet versatile for kick, slice, flat with imperceptible changes so it really got into your head. A thing of beauty you had no time to admire, just getting your strings on it was a major accomplishment. It's a J-toss alright but very easy to keep your arm straight. I think this was key to it's consistent success. The arm sweep enhances rhythm and balance as you fall into the ball. Yet I've yet to see any pro use this sideways toss and have no recognized name for it. Can you please do a segment on the Australian Twist serve? All I can find on You Tube is it's a slight variation on the kick serve. No one seems to teach it but I'm sure this is how one of my opponents is jamming me up with her body serve. Handcuffs the receiver so effectively it becomes a major psychological weapon! Thanks Steve the toss has to be the most underrated tool in tennis, yet critical to the most important shot. So always interested in it's mastery. Great video if not a tad distant and dark but content was excellent! 📹👏

I learnt to keep the ball toss in front , into the court thru serendipity...I was playing in a tournament & since the sun was shining into my eyes, I wore a cap..now my ball toss automatically went in front of the visor if I had to see the ball properly, thus my momentum always was forward towards the ball..
