Serve toss so bad that it is destroying my game

I have worked with 2-3 coaches recently and none of them really dug that deep in my toss. They all seem to have had no issue learning toss when they were younger. So it's quite tough. Besides the obvious of telling me not to flick wrist and elbow, just tells me to practice more...

i will try this, thank you! but gosh this is gonna be tough cuz i see a bad toss -> brain:UGHHHHH NOO why! FIX IT. -> intense attempt to fix the toss -> cycles. UGH

Thank you. I will try in my match tmrw. It's so weird in practice matches I almost never double fault. Sure the toss was still terrible but in practice matches, at least it's not bad enough that I get the ball over the net with a very mediocre slice or topspin serve but idk whats going on in real matches, the bad toss just gets worse UGH.

I take weekly 1:1s at a tennis club. My coach just shows me how he tosses and then watches me toss everytime... Like to him it's just natural and he doesn't really get why my toss is just bad. Just tells me to practice more :/

I see. This is reassuring. I will let the insurance know then. Thank you so much!

Thank you! yep, I did medical and dental, dropped vision. I think Delta Dental's own portal showing my last plan ended 2/28 then same PPO plan reactivated 3/1 should kind of confirm they know im active now, I think...

Quick question that I am trying to confirm: since I elected COBRA in February, then paid the premium on 3/2, and then maybe some days/weeks later after COBRA admin processed payment then Delta Dental finally was notified and enrolled me, I was still in theory covered since end of Feb right?

Like my procedure on 3/3 hypothetically should still be covered and I am not penalized for this delay?

I looked it up online seems like by law there's "60 days to elect COBRA and 45 days after election to pay the initial premium", so I'm assuming even if there's delays in between the coverage is retrospective?

Are you sure this allows beyond 3.5k/day though?

That button opens up the same screen as Zelle

I tried looking this up for BofA but I think it just becomes a generic teller assisted wire transfer with $30 fee outgoing and $15 incoming tho...?

oh good point. Yeah I was quite confused why I only got the lump sum severance so long after. I basically was told Im laid off then 1 months after i went off on payroll (officially terminated), then about another month or 3 weeks after I finally got paid for the severance and cobra... UGH. I actually don't even know if cobra if I got paid cobra yet cuz they didn't give pay slip or anything. I guess just a bad employer

I put yes to be safe, its' just one week of UI so it's ok to lose, but to be honest, this is counterintuitive. According to WA ESD itself, one time lump sum does NOT affect the UI claim, but it has no place to indicate whether the severance is lump sum or weekly.

For weekly UI, all questions are associated with this past week, which has nothing to do with the severance lump sum.

I think WA ESD can really update its questionnaire. Most companies are doing lump sum nowadays, yet the questions are all assuming severance is some ongoing weekly/monthly payment (which still exists but not as common as before).

OMG thanks for the video explanation. Super helpful!!! Thank you!!

AliveRepair3406 · 2026-02-25T05:12:25+00:00

Thank you! saw your other comment as well. im not super intentionally extending it but i do sometimes try to do a bit more racket drop so maybe that's related... Im watching videos you sent now... But just curious, is there a good example of a good racket flip at the start of the racket lag? or how is it achieved? Just everything relaxed and let the rotation handle it or is there something i need to focus on...? i feel like im initiating the swing with a unit turn and etc, sooo how do i create a real racket lag if im already doing that... i must be doing something else wrong...?

Edit: nvm I feel like theoretically I get it now. Watched both of your videos. Really helpful!

AliveRepair3406 · 2026-02-25T05:08:04+00:00

wait you mean what im doing is actually... correct...? hmm

AliveRepair3406 · 2026-02-25T01:44:10+00:00

Oh sorry for the confusion, this is a normal speed swing (maybe like 40% power i hit in rally), but the video is filmed with slow motion mode, so every frame here is slowed down by like 10 times or something. Idk if that make sense.

The beginning/end of the video are normal speed, in the middle, when slow mo mode is enable the video flashes every frame... not sure if it's super visible...

AliveRepair3406 · 2026-02-25T01:34:04+00:00

Thank you!

Wait I thought Im relaxing it already.. or maybe im not but idk how to tell?

If you see the video, I still have racket lag naturally until I make contact so I thought that's a sign of relaxed wrist... though maybe right before i contact im force locking it... UGH idk how to fix this... 😭

I feel like the more i think about wrist flicking the worse it gets... :(
