The Importance of Holding Your Left Arm Up

Key Points

• Your toss should be smooth and relaxed with no glitches
• Keeping your left arm up on the serve allows you to coil and create more power
• Servers should have a “pitchers mentality” where they don’t hit the same serve too many times in a row and constantly mix it up with different spins and speeds
• The flat serve should only be hit 20% of the time
• “Attack the serve from underneath” jumping high and using your legs to generate power
