Which Way do you prefer????

[jontheref]

Just practicing outside my tosses for the start of the season. Just interested in what is the popular approach.

A-- One hand overhead and push (the Steve Wehlmer approach)
B-- Two hand underhand (The Jim Burr method)
C-- One hand underhand

Which do you think is more accurate???

[Adam]

I go behind the back. It adds more flair.

[kenref1]

I break out the tall ladder and drop the ball down! I use a two hand toss in boy's games and one hand in girl's games.

[JugglingReferee]

I put a captain from each team on an endline and they race for the ball at midcourt.

Where do you think the XFL got the idea?

[Bad Zebra]

We're experimenting with a machine similar to JUGS to launch it...only problem is that ya have to depend on the table to pull it off the court really quickly by the extension cord.

[RookieDude]

I do the two hand underhand toss...

then open up with my arms like a flower in bloom...kinda adds a flare.

[zebraman]

I do the one-hander and then stand there posing with good follow-through as if I have just ripped the cords on a long jumper. After all, it's all about me.

[refnrev]

I do the one handed underhand toss.

[Back In The Saddle]

Option A. The shorter the distance the ball has to travel, the less it is affected by a poor toss.

[blindzebra]

One handed, under hand.

Doesn't matter which, go with what feels comfortable, but there are some things that have to happen for a good toss:

1. Use the same routine every time.

2. Make sure that you have the room to do your toss, before you get in there.

3. Weight on the front foot.

4. There's no such thing as too high, so get it up there.

5. REMOVE WHISTLE FROM MOUTH!

I do the bounce, bounce, bounce, then two handed toss.

This usually keeps the players off guard and I rarely see any jumpers come close to stealing the tip.

This is what I do. I tried the "A" option, but just wasn't comfortable with it. I like to have both my arms up at the end to protect my head from jumpers' elbows.

I do this exactly and if it is college or pro guys I get even crazier by telling the guys we are going up after the third bounce and throw it up after the second one. They definitely aren't stealing that tip.

The method that works best for me is to look at a spot about three feet higher than the taller of the two jumpers, then "shot put" the ball to that spot with one hand. I never toss underhand.
