Repairs:
- Hold the ball in your fingertips. If you hold it too deep in your hand, it will usually be deflected by your fingers as you release it.
- Release the ball with your tossing arm fully extended upward. The smaller the distance between the release point and the racquet's contact point, the less room for the ball to go astray.
- Start the toss in front of your legs, then push the ball up and forward toward where you want to hit it. If you swing the ball out too early in the tossing motion, your arm will act like a big compass, forcing the ball to describe a circular path that ends with it arcing behind you.
- Make sure your wrist isn't flicking the ball as you let go. Try having your hand hang down below your wrist as you toss.
- Toss just to the height at which you'll hit the ball or a few inches higher. Very high tosses are much more likely to go off course, and even when they're on course, they're harder to hit.
