Hi Janan,

Just through experimentation.  Try different things while you are practicing and see what you can come up with.  It just requires a creative mind.

Let us know if you come up with something good.

I'm still trying to make reverse pendulum as my main serve (easy to make TS-SS, but hard to make BS-SS), but my pendulum serve is still my most reliable serve (easy to vary the BS, still hard to add SS / TS).
