Hi Alois,
I am a shorter kid, so I find myself having trouble getting enough spin on my serves. Any suggestions of serves that are easier to get spin on?
Thank You,
Theo

Hi Theo,
One serve that is easier for shorter players in the Tomahawk serve. This allows you to swing with the bat up higher so that you are contacting the ball from a higher point.
We have a tutorial on the Tomahawk Serve in our Introduction to Serving section of the site.
