A lot of coaches promote a drastic change to your toss to hit the kick serve. “Toss behind you’re head” is often the instruction. This is wrong!!! You can hit the kick serve with your normal toss. Now understand that many players toss too far to the right to begin with so you may end up moving your toss for the kick serve, however I recommend a toss that is aligned to the outside of your left foot (righty) with contact just over your hitting side shoulder.
Training with an orange ball, with 25″ racquets can benefit you in a few ways. The shorter racquet requires you to hit at a lower contact point which is required to hit “up” and the shorter racquet doesn’t give you as much lever affect as a 27″ racquet which will promote more upward swing path. Also, using the 60′ lines will give you confidence and promote hitting to a smaller, angled target. Be sure to drive those knees over your toes to create ankle/calf flexion to drive up to the ball.
