Umm well I’m a base and backspot, and I can tell you from experience it is MUCH easier to toss the girls higher if the load in ON THEIR TOES!!! It helps send their weight STRAIGHT up in stead of out…ZO ther than that….make sure your bounce in good from the ground…but that all depends if you are doing a load in, pause and then shot, or shotting as soon as your feet hit…from the base perspective the girls go higher if you shot the as soon as they hit the bases hands. To make sure you go high, ride the pop.. ALL THE WAY UP… our flyer used to kick out before she hit the top and it took a good two feet off her toss, but ride it until you feel yourself coming back down, and when you’re coming out pop into a cradle postion…. ALSO to add height make sure you push off the bases shoulders when they shoot you up….other than that, just practice, Practice, and PRACTICE!!! Good luck!!!
