Serving
Alois,
I was wondering if there is a specific area, in regard to the R hip, where one should target contacting the ball, in the pendulum serve? Assuming the player is serving side on, like in your videos. Does this point change depending upon if the serve is backspin, sidespin, topspin or a combination?
The suggestion of contacting the ball at the R hip was very useful, for the reverse Pendulum serve.
Thank you,
Vivek.
Hi Vivek,
The contact is close to your right hip for all of the variations of the serve.
Trying to keep the contact close enable you to utilise your wrist more easily and also by having the same contact position it adds to the disguise of the serve.

Varying the speed is different from varying the length. You can have a fast short serve and a slow short serve. You can also have a fast long serve and a slow long serve.
