Hi Alois and Jeff,

I have a problem with my tomahawk serve. After I do the tomahawk serve, sometimes I lose my balance and difficult to get into my ready position. It makes my opponent to execute the ball easily by using soft stroke. Could you help me please? Thanks before

Hi Archel,

Try having your feet further apart when you are doing the serve so that you maintain your balance and you don't have to bend your knees so much to get down low enough.
