Hello Alios and Jeff, can you please tell me what kind of serves do we do on our forhand sides? Because i only see people serving at the corner side of their backhand.

Hi Jason,

You can do the Tomahawk serve from your forehand corner.  The reason that a lot of players don't serve from there is because when you are in your forehand corner you are leaving your backhand side exposed as you don't have as much reach onto that side of your body because you ar reaching across yourself.

Variation of Spin

Varying the spin on your serve makes it harder to return. You can vary the type of spin but possibly even more effective is varying the amount of spin.
