Forehand tomahawk serve short
Serving
Abdullahi Nuur Asked 12 years ago
i cannot seem to make my forehand tomahawk serve short whatever i do whether it is moving my wrist faster the only way i can make it short is by hitting it softly and slowly but there is never much spin or speed. i always get it to be a long serve and sometimes it misses the table. how can i make the serve shorter.

Hi Abdullahi,
Keep working on getting it short. You don't have to generate a lot of spin for it to be effective if you are keeping it really low.
You can also in your spare time work on brushing the ball finer so that when you brush it fast it will still go short.

The Kicker Serve
The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.
