Serving
Is it possible to execute this serve?
Hi,
Yes it is. Firstly set up like you would for a Tomahawk. In your swing at the last minute change the direction of your bat so that you hit it with the backhand side of your racket. You will need to get the bat coming across your body to do this initially. I think the angle of your racket will actually make it easier to do the Reverse serve than the normal Tomahawk serve with the Penhold grip.
The best thing is to get out there and give it a try and experiment with it. You will learn a lot that way.
