Why does this happen on my tomahawk
Serving
ashley koh jia jhin Asked 13 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff,
I realize that my short tomahawk serve will make the ball fly up into the air and not hit my table whenever my opponent uses any stroke that hits the ball at the bottom.
why is this so? Is it because of how much sidespin i put on the ball or the angle my opponent uses?
And is it very effective and most of the time help me win a point or match?
thank you for reading my question guys!

Hi Ashley,
When you put a lot of sidespin it remains on the ball for the first few balls of the rally. So when the return comes in you need to come a little over the ball for the next shot. Just come around the side and top to get the ball on.
It also happens on the sidespin pendulum serve.

Variation of Speed
Varying the speed is different from varying the length. You can have a fast short serve and a slow short serve. You can also have a fast long serve and a slow long serve.

so will it be the same thing on any stroke that has sidespin on it.
No it just happens on the serve because of the speed of the shots.
