Hi Sohan,

The spin on your serve effects the type of ball you get back.  The first thing is to watch and see what the ball is doing when they return it after your Tomahawk serve.  In training, do some serves, get your training partner to push the ball back and leave it to see what type of spin there is on the ball.  Watch how it curves or spins on the table and floor.

The next thing is to make sure you move yourself into position to be able to make the attack on the next ball.  This transition is important.
