Faking topspin serves
Serving
chris Lee Asked 10 years ago
What are some ways of faking a topspin serve if you are a shakehand player?
I've seen players often fake a topspin serve from a pendulum type serve. Are there other ways?

Hi Chris,
You can put topspin on the ball by hitting the ball later in your swing with the Pendulum serve. Later in the swing, the bat is going upwards and therefore when the ball hits the bat you will generate topspin. Take a look at the lesson on the Pendulum Serve for more detailed explanation of this.

Backhand Tomahawk Serve
In this lesson we show you how to execute the Backhand Tomahawk serve. This is a good complement to the Tomahawk serve. By utilising a similar action, it will make it difficult for your opponent to tell which way the ball and spin are going.
