Don’t Toss High When You Serve (Easy Tennis Improvement)
1. A high toss gives you too much time to swing
2. A high toss is more erratic
3. A high toss gives you less time to actually hit the ball as it’s falling rapidly

You got this!

Great tip Ryan. It’s worked foe me. I like how you gave advice in this video how to lower the toss. Slow that arm down

[johnbenevoli]

Top tip and great mantra, 'toss slow to toss low'...I'll be chanting this one through my serves..

[pieterbeckertenniscoaching]

This is so true. I've seen lower ball toss make a massive difference for so many players 👏👏✅✅

Anyway, it is good to see Hyeon Chung in your channel. Thank you.

Roscoe Tanner either hit the ball on the way up, or right at the apex of the toss. His serve was clocked at 153 mph in 1978. I tried hitting at the apex and cannot do it, at least not well.

Zerev has a real high toss 5 in the world because of his first serve

When watching pro women on TV it looks to me like most of them have a high toss. Do they toss high or does it just seem like that to me?

Just being pernickety: a ball does not fall at a rate of 9.81 m/s/s but accelerates at that rate. If you were to hit the ball exactly at the top of the curve, its speed towards you is zero. Would you throw the ball up 1 foot or just over 30 cm higher than the point of contact, then the whole service motion would need to slow down with approximately half a second and the ball will have sped up to 8.8 km/h or 5.47 mph by the time you hit it. Tossing two feet higher than contact will result in a 0.7 second delay and the ball travelling at 12.45 km/h or 7.74 mph; tossing three feet higher than contact in a 0.86 second delay and the ball coming down at 15.25 km/u or 9.47 mph at the point of contact. So I whole heartedly agree with the point you're making.

The thing is when I toss low, I have a low contact point and I’m inconsistent, but I have more power. When I toss high, I have a high contact point and consistent with just a little less power.

I beg to disagree with this..it depends how well you time your swing..some (like me) do well with a higher toss vs a lower toss. My timing is set for a higher toss..this is a difficult ask to lower someone's toss
