My tomahawk serve is a little bit slow, easier to return how can I adjust the speed?

Hi Jack,
The key is to swing through faster. This will do two things. It will give you the ability to generate more speed and it will also allow you to get it faster if you want to. For a faster serve contact the ball a little flatter.
Start with a bigger backswing and use your wrist on the swing through as well. Make sue you are contacting the ball with a brushing action. We cover this in our Tomahawk Serve tutorial.

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.
