Hello PingSkills!

I have watched some people do the tomahawk serve and it seems very effective. Please could you tell me how to do it?

Thank you

Dima

Hi Dima,

We do have a lesson on the Tomahawk serve in our Serving Secrets lessons.

The main things are to Get quite low with your body and elbow so that you can swing you bat over the top, almost like a Tennis serve.  Have a full range of movement in the semi circle we talk about and then focus on brushing the ball on contact.
