Every serve lesson
starts with the toss.
That is the lesson TossBuddy gives you on every single toss. It tells you the instant the ball leaves your hand, a good one or exactly what was off, so you hear it before you swing and never waste a serve on a bad toss.
Free, with in-app purchases.
You find out while you can still do something about it.
Not a score at the end of the session. Not a video to watch at home. A read on the toss you just threw, right now, while the ball is still going up.
A good one, or exactly what was off. Every single toss, before you swing. It is the first app that can tell you in real time.
You'll know as soon as the ball goes up.
Spot the bad toss before it costs you the serve.
The toss happens above and in front of you, in under a second, while your eyes are on the ball and not your own hand. By the time you feel the serve go wrong, the toss that caused it is long gone.
A good buddy would just tell you, right there, before your next serve. That is the whole idea.
TossBuddy says it out loud the instant the ball is up, good or not, so you fix it on the very next toss instead of the next lesson.
A mirror is too slow
You cannot watch yourself and toss at the same time. By the time you look, the ball has already gone where it was going.
Video is tomorrow's problem
Filming means watching it later, at home, long after the feel has gone. The fix has to happen on the toss in your hand.
A number is not a nudge
A stat at the end of a session tells you what happened. It cannot tell you in time to change the next toss.
Your toss is the one part of your serve you never see.
Your last 10 tosses
5 of 10 found the zone.
Each ball replays from your hand, over your head and down into the zone. One never got high enough to count.
Everybody analyses the serve. The grip, the trophy, the leg drive, the pronation. Almost nobody analyses the one thing the whole motion is built around.
The buddy on your court has done this for a living.
The voice telling you about your toss is Sky Kim, founder of Road to Pro. He has spent years telling players the same thing about their toss, in person, one toss at a time.
He has sent players to Division I programmes and Ivy League teams, coached on the WTA tour, and coached a player into the ATP world top twenty. Now that voice is in your pocket, for every toss you take.
It knows which toss you are going for.
A first serve and a kick serve want the ball in different places, so a good toss for one is a bad toss for the other. Pick the serve and TossBuddy reads that toss.
Out in front, and up.
The right toss is what lets you hit up and through it instead of reaching. TossBuddy tells you the moment it is there.
Back over your head, and repeatable.
A second serve you can trust starts with a toss you can repeat. TossBuddy tells you the moment you have it.
No court? No problem.
The toss needs no net, no opponent and nothing booked. A wall, a driveway, a patch of grass. Set your phone on a tripod, stay behind the line, and every toss still gets read.
Ten minutes in a driveway is ten minutes of good tosses.
Every good toss counts toward something.
The good ones add up. Streaks, daily goals and a weekly leaderboard against your friends, so the toss you fixed today is still worth something next week. The numbers are there when you want them. The read is there every time you serve.
Let's fix that toss.
