Instructions
- 1Start in trophy position with knees already bent about 20 degrees.
- 2Sink slightly deeper as the tossing arm finishes, then drive up through the legs.
- 3Let the legs, not the arm, start the upward motion into contact.
- 4Serve at half pace, checking that both feet leave the ground after contact.
What to focus on
Knee bend that deepens right before the upward drive.
Common mistake
Standing tall and serving arm-only, with no leg contribution.
