Hi Mihir,
You can think about it as brushing something off the ball without hitting the ball, or brushing an insect off an egg without breaking the egg.

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.

Hi Mihir,
You also need to ensure that your rubber still has enough grip to generate the spin. You can test it by rubbing your finger over the rubber. If it grips your finger, it will also grip the ball. If you rubber doesn't have enough grip you'll need to replace it before you can generate more spin.
