Hi Alois and Jeff.

I saw all of the serves but I don't know what serves will effect for what. I saw some has some sidespin but I don't know how to call that serve. And what is tomahawk serve? Thanks for the answers.

Hi Phasit,

All serves can have some sidespin.  The serve you are probably talking about though is the Pendulum serve.

The Tomahawk serve is the one where you start with your bat above your wrist and then come through like you are throwing a tomahawk.

We have a DVD available that will help.  Take a look at our Serving Secrets Revealed DVD
