Pendulum Serve

Serving Secrets Revealed

You Asked

Hi, I've been practing the Pendulum Serve by watching your videos on youtube, because I can't buy your DVDs off the internet...

When I'm serving I can't get it to curve a lot when it's on the oppents side I keep trying to brush and hit the ball faster at the same time, but it's still not working...

Thanks.

Hi Tom,

Perhaps think about the hitting point on your bat.  Try to get the contact down really low on your bat, this will give you an even faster contact.

If it is more curve you are after , slow the forward momentum down a little.  The forward speed can stop it from curving but it still has the same amount of spin.
