Forehand tomahawk serve short
Serving
Abdullahi Nuur Asked 13 years ago
i cannot seem to make my forehand tomahawk serve short whatever i do whether it is moving my wrist faster the only way i can make it short is by hitting it softly and slowly but there is never much spin or speed. i always get it to be a long serve and sometimes it misses the table. how can i make the serve shorter.

Hi Abdullahi,
Keep working on getting it short. You don't have to generate a lot of spin for it to be effective if you are keeping it really low.
You can also in your spare time work on brushing the ball finer so that when you brush it fast it will still go short.
