How to hit the Tomahawk:
Summary
Parth Mody’s tomahawk how-to is for those awkward high balls where a standard forehand floats or sails. Contact high, use a face that lets you cut down/over the ball, and accelerate through so the shot bites instead of sitting up. Save it for true high opportunities — don’t force it on mid-height balls.
Key takeaways
- High contact zone only
- Face allows downward/over-the-top path
- Accelerate through; don’t decelerate at contact
- Don’t force tomahawks on mid balls
