Hi coach Jeff or Alois,

I can't do tomahawk serve that my coach is trying to teach me, I am hoping that you can help me...

How can I do the tomahawk serve?

Hi Donvik,

What is happening when you try it?  Start with your bat near your right shoulder and then come up and over.  You can think of it as a sunrise and sunset with your bat,

For our Premium members we have a lesson on the Tomahawk Serve in our Serving Secrets section.

When I serve using the tomahawk serve it doesn't bounce over the next court what should I do?

You may need to hit it down close to you on your side.  This will help to get the ball to bounce more and over the net.
