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.

The Float Serve

The float or no spin serve is an effective tool to have in your bag of serves. It adds good variation to your serves and can often set you up with an easy 3rd ball opportunity.
