Hi Alois and Jeff,

I have a problem with my tomahawk serve. After I do the tomahawk serve, sometimes I lose my balance and difficult to get into my ready position. It makes my opponent to execute the ball easily by using soft stroke. Could you help me please? Thanks before

Hi Archel,

Try having your feet further apart when you are doing the serve so that you maintain your balance and you don't have to bend your knees so much to get down low enough.

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.
