You could have the greatest motion with your hitting arm and still have trouble hitting your serve consistently in the service box. The reason? If the TOSS is not consistently in the same spot your racquet face can be tilted down too much or tilted back too much at contact. Just a one degree difference of the racquet face, tilted back or down, can make a six foot difference in where your serve lands.

How To Use The Wall To Improve Your Strokes

Posted on October 22, 2012 by Tom Avery

[trafficplayer_skin padding: 3px 0 0 3px; width: 643px; height: 363px; background: url(http://www.tomavery.com/wp-content/uploads/skin3_640x360.png) no-repeat top left; text-align: left;][trafficplayer_youtube_video width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tD_McWfeF70?modestbranding=1&showinfo=0&autohide=1&autoplay=1&controls=1&hd=0&rel=0" ][/trafficplayer_youtube_video][/trafficplayer_skin]

When I was learning how to play the wall was a tremendous aid in helping me develop consistency. You too can use the wall to help you REALLY burn some solid consistent signals in the brain.

Remember, muscles DO NOT have a memory, every muscle movement is initiated by a signal coming from the brain. That’s why I’m always encouraging my students to actively use the brain when practicing technique. I’ve got a video for you with more suggestions.
