 Alois, how does Ding Ning do the Reverse Tomahawk serve? You can refer to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-oBUre4GRc. She used it at around 18:45-19:16. Does Ding Ning need a special table tennis bat to do that serve? Thanks.

Hi Yap,

As a Premium member you can access the previous Ask the Coach video response.   We called it the Backhand Tomahawk serve.

She does it with a very normal bat.  Just comes through and hits it with the Backhand side of the racket.

Variation of Spin

Varying the spin on your serve makes it harder to return. You can vary the type of spin but possibly even more effective is varying the amount of spin.
