Hi Archel,
Initially try to keep everything still except your forearm. I find a common error is players move their elbows too much. Try to keep this quite still throughout the action of the serve. Get the wrist to do most of the work for you.

What bat angle should I apply in pendulum serve?
Have your bat pointing to the ground so that you can come around the side of the ball on contact. By varying the angle of your bat you will alter the spin on the ball.
