Hello Alios and Jeff, can you please tell me what kind of serves do we do on our forhand sides? Because i only see people serving at the corner side of their backhand.

Hi Jason,
You can do the Tomahawk serve from your forehand corner. The reason that a lot of players don't serve from there is because when you are in your forehand corner you are leaving your backhand side exposed as you don't have as much reach onto that side of your body because you ar reaching across yourself.
