Studies referenced in this video:
Mendes et al. (2013) showed that experienced servers tend to keep the vertical dimension of the toss stable, and reported an impact-height-to-player-height ratio of about 1:1.5 even under artificial crosswind conditions. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24149810/

Vacek et al. (2025) reported that higher impact height was associated with faster serve speed in junior players, and that toss-related variables such as impact height and the zenith-to-impact differential influenced the serve-speed relationship. https://www.mdpi.com/2411-5142/10/4/4...

Kovacs and Ellenbecker’s 8-stage serve model breaks the serve into 3 phases and 8 stages, giving a tennis-specific framework for analyzing efficiency, performance, and injury risk across the kinetic chain. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23016050/
