One question. How do U execute the backhand tomahawk serve?

Thanks,

Ian

Hi Ian,

For this serve you do it the same as the tomahawk except as you are swinging through, you hit it with the backhand side of the bat.  The ball will swing the opposite way. Just give it a try a lot of times. You will get it.

High Toss Serve

The high toss serve looks spectacular and it gets results. It is particularly suited to the pendulum serve but we encourage you to try it out with all of your serves. Follow these instructions and add the high toss serve to your repertoire.

That was a fantastic explanation of the serve. I am impressed by the new camera you guys are using, it has some great slow motion action.

Thanks Paul. I love the slow motion too. In fact every time we are filming I ask Alois if we can record the action again in slow motion :)

Hi Alois

            When I do the reverse tomahawk serve, the ball keep flying sideways and thus not hitting my opponent's side of the table. Can you help?
