It's my understanding that you are supposed to toss the ball a bit in front of the baseline during a flat serve. I've noticed that when I don't, my body isn't fully extended during contact and appears to be leaning backwards.
However, in the kick serve, I've read that you're supposed to toss the ball above your head (and therefore not in front of the baseline). I was watching some footage of myself doing some kick serves and noticed that my body looked really unbalanced and leaning backwards during the contact.
How are you supposed to be fully extended at contact when you don't toss ball ahead of baseline during kick serve?
