Hi Ali,
to make the ball curve with any grip you need to brush the ball on contact. With the pen hold grip I think the edits serve to try is the Pendulum serve. Start by standing side on to the table in the backhand corner of the table. Then you need to brush the ball on the side to get it to curve.
We will be making some more lessons on the pen hold grip in the future. If a lot of Premium members vote for this question then we can make a video response to it as well.
