 Hi PingSkills,

How can I perform Dimitrij Ovcharov's tomahawk serve with heavy side backspin?

Hi Tam,

To do the Tomahawk serve with side and backspin you need to lay your bat back more so that you can come under the ball.  You can also hit the ball a little later in your swing as the bat is coming down in an arc.

The Premium members can take a look at the lesson on the Tomahawk Serve in our Serving Secrets section.
