My serve is something that I'm happy just to get into the service box but I dont want that. I want a serve that is fast and causes the opponent trouble! But I try my hardest for a fast serve and it never really works! Also my ball toss is really crappy! Please help! Thanks ! :)

It's all about doing the exact same thing every time. Try setting your racquet on the baseline with the head facing the net, bottom of the grip on the baseline. Now go through your service motion without the racquet, toss and all. Once you can get it to land on your racket every time move on. I'd try to get some lessons on serving, if not possible try YouTube tutorials and filming yourself so you can see what you're doing right and wrong. Hope that helps :)

This helped me:
1.) Toss the ball in front of you if its a flat serve (i know this sounds kinda obvious, but I used to toss my ball to the side a little)
2.) Keep your ball hand up even after letting the ball go
3.)Also keep your head up and look at the ball
4.)As for your racquet arm, bring it up in a simple sort of manner. Tomic here has a pretty simple racquet motion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCkU1RqeeTg
His racquet comes up with his ball arm. the Simpler the better
I hope this helps. I've had so many problem with my serve so I wish you the best of luck and hope your serve becomes a real weapon

the main key is ur toss so u really need to practice that alone without even serving. Just grab a ball and toss it many times everyday... Second ur form and grip is important and also ur position. complicated story short, u need to practice a lot when it comes to serving... Just play around with it. Try standing in different places in the space available. Practicing is key...
