I learned this serve from here and I use it to good use thanks! although, I did not use a water bottle to scratch the crap out of my table surface...

The TT Edge videos are very informative to be fair. I've not seen any other videos that give you so much information on what 'not' to do as well as what to do.

it's excellent. Only the title is wrong. This is a _punch_ serve. Ovtcharov's is a sort of punch-twist serve.

Australia needs William to oversee the coaching in Australia.The coaching methods which are being passed on to the up and coming players is so outdated.Lack of funds has been killing table tennis in Australia for way too long.There is a great need for people like William who have played at such a high level.To those people who give their time and energy with such low budget parameters you are to be commended

But this is not really a tomahawk, rather a punch serve, isn't it? There's hardly any wrist action, more arm and body action?

The tomahawk weapon was, formally, used in a vertical/forward blow. No, this is not a tomahawk serve, and I've seen it as early as the 70's (eg. Dean Doyle, Oregon/Washington). The only top players using a tomahawk serve are Ding Ning and Kenta Matsudaira. Ovtcharov has something closer, but that isn't a tomahawk either.

Good information, nice serve, would be good to master. But agree not the ‘standard’ Tomahawk serve, may consider changing the title.

it looks like a kick serve

It looks more like hook serve

I like the water bottle analogy. it is a punch serve, not tomahawk. better thank tomahawk actually.

It seems like miu's serve

Ovtcharov serves very strange way, as the ball should not fall much away from the point where it started (aside or behind that point) , so ...isnt it illegal too.?

Why is nobody discussing the Tomahawk Slam? Or am i the first to discover it? 😄 Seriously, try it on those short balls that are puzzling for a traditional slam. It's magical!!! For right handers, try a 2 or 3 o clock top/side graze. Thank me later

near or somewhat vertical, no way do I want to have to throw it perfectly XD

btw the one of dimtri ovtrcharov is one of the most illegal serves in the circuit

Please coach how do l return Tomahawk serves?

if the ball throw back t think it's illegal

Can u teach " the out of court serve".. Hehheh

yea this isn't a tomahawk serve. there's also no rule on what height you can contact it. it's just common sense contacting lower allows you to keep the serve low.

That is how he does the serve. How I do the tomahawk serve is I stand with my chest facing the table and chop sideways and downwards on the ball, creating sidespin and a little backspin. But that's his variation, standing sideways and brushing the ball way faster and harder, creating much more sidespin, but little to no backspin. There are different variations and my coach teaches the variation that I use today. Note: I am not a pro player. I practice and learn new things in ping pong every week.

Teo Mitchell it's not called a tomahawk serve (what kenta or ding ning do). this is something else but i don't think there's a name for it in eng so far. technically, wang hao was one of the first to use it. it's just that shakehand players haven't used it much until zjk popularized reverse pendulum and not everyone can do it. this is so much easier and one of the most annoying serves for righties to return. my coach is ex 1st string CNT.

He looks like Ben affleck haha

GUYS THIS IS NOT A TOMAHWAK SERVE!!!

This should be mandatory viewing for all competitive domestic league players .the standard of serving in the uk domestic leagues is criminal..

The classic defining characteristic of the tomahawk serve is the reason for the near-vertical plane of the racquet around the time of contact: a very deceptive choice between forehand or backhand surface for contact. It's not a semantic quibble: It's: the way the tomahawk weapon was moved, and it's the optimum way to visually deceive the TT opponent

0:30 "and let it fall back down at least the same distance" Is it actually true ? I cant find the rule, saying that the ball also has to fall down all the way. And by the way 15 cm is not correct, its 16cm.

@jonathanwhitaker9115

No, the ball only has to be falling. This ensures the ball cannot be thrown with force onto the racket for a faster serve

I didn't see a single tomahawk serve. (Other than of other people doing a proper tomahawk serve.) Weird, since that's the title of the video.

N

THis is hook serve not toma

ilkoş

this is not a tomohawk serve

Not tomahawk... Even Otcharov is not really a tomahawk... Ding Ning or Kenta Matsudaira yes !

This demo looks more like a ‘jab’ serve. Am I right?

2k likes and 52nd comment so early lol.

There is no need to allow the ball to fall 6 inches after a 6 inch toss. THAT IS NOT A RULE AND SHOWS WILLIAM HAS NOT READ THE RULES.

That is not a tomahawk motion

First!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a tt player name

Your throw up not enough.

Someone needs a spell-checker before posting more videos.

Illegal serve.

That wasnt a 6 inch toss. FRAUD

this aint even a tomahawk lol :D
