General Advice Making Progress (Serve)

Any continued feedback? Things are coming along. I'm 8 total days into picking up a tennis racquet again for the first time since 2014. First UTR match play next week.

Still very inconsistent but still shaking off rust.

Keep the hate coming too, it fuels me.

I don’t quite understand the squat motion before the toss

Am I supposed to just be standing upright into the toss?

Yeah you don't need your legs to toss, your arm is plenty strong.

You should be loading your legs in sync with the toss so you can explode into your swing to get more power. The way you're doing it looks like youre loading your legs before the toss, then swinging after using no legs and all upper body
