I've done a few private lessons while traveling and the thing I need the most help with is my serve. I tell the pros that it's my primary focus, but as we're warming up they say they want to teach me "pat the dog" or work on other things and I end up doing serves for like 5 minutes at the end of the lesson.
Of course I don't want to just come on the court and hit serves, but I really want help with making sure I have a smooth, repeatable motion with a consistent toss. The toss has been my nemesis for years and I'd like to get some tips on incorporating that with everything else with the serve. Not just standing there tossing.
Knock on wood, but my forehand, volleys, etc aren't going to break down completely, but my serve will. As I've posted for years when I get tight the double faults start rolling in and even when I'm relaxed I can't always count on my toss. So how do I get the most out of the lesson so the serve isn't an afterthought or I'm not just hitting balls from a bucket without any input from the pro?
