Hello sir,

I learnt various type of serves. I can return all type of spinny serve but I got a problem in returning tomahawk serve because it is very spinny and when it touches my bat it fly right left or outside. What can I do.

Hi Devansh,

If the Tomahawk is served by a right hander it will fly to your left when you hit it.

So angle your bat to the right to counteract that spin.  Don't try to do too much with the return to start off with.  Keep relaxed especially in your hand and work on guiding the ball back to start with.
