Only One SideSpin(Left) on regular pendulum serve

Salman Razi Asked 10 years ago

Hi Alois/Jeff,

I am wondering you could only put one type of spin in terms of side spin direction when you do regular pendulum serve which is left side spin .. is that correct? .. with that spin you could do top & under but the direction would be left side spin you cannot do right side spin with regular pendulum serve is that correct? 

and you get the right side spin if you do reverse side spin and you cannot get left side spin with reverse pendulum is that correct?

and any advise or good videos in receiving short pendulum serve

thanks a bunch

Hi Salman,

Yes that is right.  You can combine one type of side spin with either backspin or topspin.  You can't put two types is sidespin with the one serve.

To receive a short pendulum serve use a push or flick.
