Hi John,

This is something we will try to do in the future as a lesson as part of our Serving Secrets lessons.

For now though, think about it as the same as the tomahawk serve and at the last second change the direction of our bat to go to the left rather than to the right and hit it with the back of your bat.

Take a look at this previous answer to an Ask the Coach question. Reverse Tomahawk Serve
