What was the strangest looking serve you've ever seen?

Hi Esteban,

I think when I first saw the Reverse Tomahawk by Kenta I found it strange.

I wonder what others think...

Hi,

Does anyone do a reverse BH serve (side-spinning the same way as a pendulum)?.

I do this serve, I have not seen anyone do one, from my club anyway. It is the strangest serve I have ever done.

btw: what is a ghost serve?

I have seen a few players do this serve as a variation to the Pendulum serve.  In fact a player I played in Junior competition in 1974 used to do it.

The Ghost serve is just a slow backspin serve where the ball stops and comes back to you.

To answer the original question: definitely William Henzell. His tomahawk serve is pretty much unique and also his pendulum serve is very hard to find
