Change the handplasement a bit when serve: I see that your racket comes in a flat position once you have toss the ball, you racket your thumb needs all to be in a straight line Then your toss : when standing in position at the baseline just lay your racket down and only train the toss Than take your racket and lay it in the curve of your foot (right-hand serve: racket left foot) now toss the ball and it needs to fall in middle of your racket 1 on 1 serve for beginners 🫡🌻

1. if you're arm hurts with a full bed of multi and you can still sort of feel it with gut, you need to stop playing and do some rehab. I'd stop playing for a month. 2. you should consider a different racquet, something with an RA below 63. Babolat makes stiff frames.
