Raising the tossing arm.

Hello,

I have just a couple of quick questions about the tossing arm.
I play right handed.

As you extend the arm up (straight up to the sky) should you feel a stretch in the left shoulder?

As the arm is extended in the air, should the weight on both feet be balanced? I find I have a lot of my weight in the front foot (left foot).

Thanks in advance.

Regarding the stretch of the left shoulder - not really.

R.e. the balanced feet, you want some sort of weight transfer from your back foot to the front - ideally you would want to toss the ball when you are on your back foot then transfer that weight onto the front foot just before contact/

Hope this helps

You should toss (lift) the ball up and you should feel a pull in your left hip. It means that your tossing arm is in line with your left side of your body and you're coiling your body for your serve.
