Hi Hanson,

It has a weird start but it is basically a Reverse Tomahawk serve.  She has an exaggerated grip to make it easier to get backspin on the ball.

I wonder what is the weirdest service action you have seen?  I think this is right up there with the best of them.

The Kicker Serve

The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.
