Sir, I want to ask about your opinion on both tomahawk and pendulum serves, what are the disadvantages of both?

Hi Ivandri,

The tomahawk serve is difficult to generate a lot of spin because it is difficult to use your wrist effectively.

The pendulum serve I don;t think has any real disadvantages.  You just need to work  on all your serves as much as you can.
