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.
