Hi

Does height matter in the pendulum serve?

bye,

Hi Pranav,

Yes, height does matter.  You need to be tall enough to get your bat up high enough while being in the pendulum position.  As such, it is difficult to teach very young players to do this one.  You will notice a lot of young short players naturally do the tomahawk serve as this suits their height a lot better.
