How do you do a very short pendulum serve? I know how to do one but not very short.

Hi Eric,

The way to get the ball short on the serve is to brush it finer.  Make the same action but focus on the contact being thinner so that they ball doesn't travel as far.

Variation of Spin

Varying the spin on your serve makes it harder to return. You can vary the type of spin but possibly even more effective is varying the amount of spin.
