Reverse tomahawk serve

Aaron woods woods Asked 5 years ago

Hi Alois and Jeff I am a big fan of your tutorials and have been wondering, I have been able to do the tomahawk serve that you show in your preview but if you were to do a reverse tomahawk, would you have to just change your bat angle so that the backhand side is facing the ball? I will look forward from hearing from you.

Hi Aaron,

That is right. As you come through, just hit the ball with the backhand side of the bat instead of the forehand side.  It involves a late change of direction with your bat on the swing.  This can be a really effective serve when coupled with the Tomahawk serve.  You often find that opponents haven't seen a lot of this serve and will struggle with it initially at least.

For our Premium members we have the tutorial on the Backhand Tomahawk Serve which will give you some good demonstrations of how to do this serve.
