Kenta Matsudaira's Tomahawk/Reverse Tomahawk

Serving

While watching his serve in slow-mo, I noticed that he barely moves his racket and only uses a very small amount of wrist movement compared to other players. How does he impart so much spin despite having so little wrist acceleration?

Hi Jack,

I think there is a lot of wrist even though it may not seem like it.  The action is extremely fast.

Kenta Matsudaira seems to use a really wrist-oriented technique.
It seems to me like he uses forearm and wrist while he makes extremely fast but extremely short movement.
