How to do the backhand tomahawk of Kenta?
Alois Rosario Answered 13 years ago
Hi Rexer,
This is similar to the Tomahawk serve that we cover in our Serving Secrets course but at the last minute you use the backhand side of the racket instead of the forehand side. You need to get down low for this serve so you can get the tip of your bat pointing to the roof.
Then swing through fast with the top of your bat coming through in an arc and using your wrist.
