Ball Toss Release
Ball Toss Release Matthew Stockman / Getty Images
Blake demonstrates an excellent ball toss release here, opening all of his fingers away from the ball and thus ensuring that none of his fingers exert an extra push to send it off course. Barring any unusual physical problems, every tennis player should be able to learn to comfortably release the ball with the tossing hand at least as high as James is doing.
