Hi Alois,

Coach can you please teach me how to perform the Kenta Matsudaira serve.

I had seen it in this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEigdToNPzY

Hi Swaroop,

It is a great serve isn't it?

It is basically a Tomahawk serve but he does it with a high toss and bending his knees on contact to get the contact nice and low.

He changes the contact between the forehand and backhand sides of his racket to do the Tomahawk and Reverse serves.

Hi Mr.Alois,

Yes, its an excellent serve, Zang-Jike had problems with it. How to perform it? I try to bend my knees but still I can't contact the ball. The ball either goes out with a lot of power or it hits the net when I try to decrease the power.

Sounds like more practice is required then Swaroop.
