Hi Alois and Jeff,

How to make a fake to my movement when serving? Especially for the tomahawk serve, how to confuse my opponent between the forehand and backhand tomahawk?

Once I have tried it but the ball bounced too high and my opponents can smashed it back or used soft stroke to counter it.

Hi Archel,

Start with a lot of experimenting.  You probably need to try it one hundred times at least before you even start to get it right.

It is not as easy for the tomahawk.  The main deception is with whether you are hitting the ball at th top of the motion or as the bat is coming down.

No Spin Serve

It may sound like a bad idea but the no spin serve can be effective when put together with a range of spin serves. In fact, this is a must have in your arsenal of serves.
