Serving
Christian Habis Asked 11 years ago
Hi again,
First thanks for answering my question in Ask the Coach show. Now i have the basics of the Pendulum serve!
I’m just curious about the Serve that Jeff did in your match vs him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTxATrjOoLY
On 4:35 , is the serve that jeff did, the basic pendulum serve? or is it a variation of it? Its not clear whether he swinged the bat in a pendulum motion or not.
Thanks again.

Hi Christian,
I thin that was a kind version of the Pendulum serve where he put no spin on the ball for me by just pushing his bat through the ball with a flat contact.

Ahhh, so is it any useful?
Only for exhibition purposes. I guess as a variation if someone doesn’t have a strong flick or short game.
