 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.
