How do you do a reverse pendulum serve with shakehand style?

Hi Akshay,

Use the same grip as for the pendulum serve.  Then start with your elbow high and the forehand side of your bat facing towards you.  Then move your bat forward and finish with the leading edge pointing at the far net post.

If you can, buy Serving Secrets Revealed.  This will show you clearly how to perform the serve.  It will also explain how to get different types of spin on the Reverse Pendulum serve.

You can place it to all positions depending on your opponent.

While doing the serve, it becomes heavy pure topspin serve. What did I do not correct and how can I fix it?

Try starting a little higher with your swing and brushing down on the ball.  To do this you will need to have your elbow up high.
