Fixing the serve toss before the club final match

The situation

Most missed first serves come from a toss that drifts right and low, and practice video shows the same issue. The goal is to get more first serves in before the club final. A strong first serve is key to winning, and past losses have been decided by lost serve games. The final match is approaching, and improvement is needed before then. The current serve statistics are not good enough to win the title, and a change is necessary to achieve success.
