Serving Low and Short
Serving
Kenneth Tham Asked 4 years ago
Dear PingSkills,
I noticed when I do a forehand serve, it is harder for me to keep the ball low and short compared to a backhand serve. Is it naturally harder to do a low and short forehand serve than backhand serve or is it just a matter of practice?
Regards,
Kenneth

Hi Kenneth,
It is probably just the height you are hitting the ball at when you are doing the forehand serve. Try hitting the ball a fraction later when the ball is lower. This will lead to a lower serve.
The other thing to do is to focus on the result which is getting the ball low. You can set up a strong across the net like we do in this tutorial on Keeping The Ball Low. It is a simple set up which will help you.

Backhand Tomahawk Serve
In this lesson we show you how to execute the Backhand Tomahawk serve. This is a good complement to the Tomahawk serve. By utilising a similar action, it will make it difficult for your opponent to tell which way the ball and spin are going.
