When I try the serve (Tomahawk) on your video, it doesn't spins a lot to affect the way it's going. What makes it really spins and how, why?

Hi Ryan,

The contact is the most important thing once you have the action right.  So really focus on the contact even if you shorten the swing to just do the contact part of it.  Work at getting the brushing contact right and then you can start to increase the length of the swing to generate even more spin again.
