Tennis Serve - Serve Step 2 - Toss and Backswing

http://www.fuzzyyellowballs.com/improve-your-forehand-in-45-minutes/

The second step of the tennis serve deals with the upper body. Specifically, the toss and the backswing. Tossing the tennis ball is extremely important when trying to hit a tennis serve. If you can't place the toss consistently, your serve won't be consistent. The backswing gets your tennis racket and hitting arm to the "L" position, which allows your arm to swing correctly later in your tennis serve.

You want to time the toss and backswing so that they complete at the same time. The way your arms move is sometimes called "down together, up together" because your arms move down as one piece and up as one piece. This should make timing your tennis serve easier.

@zztop1098 Tell me about it! Thanks, Will, for breaking this down. If you look around you, hardly ANYONE has a good serve at the public courts. Your analysis lets me see what I'm doing wrong, and my instructor and I are working to fix this...NOT easy to do after having done it ineffectively for almost 20 years. But I'll get it. Thanks!
