Reverse tomahawk serve
Serving
Jason Bui Asked 5 years ago
I watched a few clips on Ding Ning doing the reverse tomahawk serve. I don’t know what it is, or how to do it, and Kenta Matsushira do it. It’s very effective over heard? How do you do it?

Hi Jason,
The main thing to think about is starting in the normal Tomahawk serve position and then as you come forward with your bat turn it so that you are hitting the ball with the backhand side of the bat.
We have a tutorial on this for our Premium members called the Backhand Tomahawk Serve.

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.
