More spin on a tomahawk serve

Serving

Hey guys,

So usually I use a low tomahawk serve, and it works quite well.
The only problem is that I don't get that much sidespin on the ball as I want. Sometimes I get a lot and sometimes I get almost no spin at all.

Any tips on how I can produce more spin on the ball?

Hi Lukas,

To generate more spin try brushing the ball finer and faster.  If you get the contact on the side you will generate the sidespin that you are looking for.

It is hard to generate a lot of spin with the tomahawk serve because it is difficult to get the speed and wrist action.

Variation of Spin

Varying the spin on your serve makes it harder to return. You can vary the type of spin but possibly even more effective is varying the amount of spin.
