3rd ball off Pendulum serve
Strokes
Luigi Alcantara Asked 14 years ago
Hi alois and jeff,
I was wondering how a 3rd ball with the pendulum serve works. When my opponent recieves it it goes to my backhand i cant seem to attack fast. So when i attack i either block or chop it which can lead him to attacking
so, do you have any tips on this 3rd ball?

Hi Luigi,
YOu can try serving the ball more down the line. This will give them the angle to play the ball more to your forehand side. The other thing you can do is predict where the ball is coming, more to your backhand side and move around the corner to allow yourself to make a forehand from there.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
