Hi Alois & Jeff:

My pendulum serve doesn't spin a lot.  What should I do to increase the spin of my pendulum serve?

Hi Alvin,

Focus on the contact with the ball.  Make sure it is a brushing contact.  If you get the action and the contact right you will start to get a lot of spin.  For lots more help with serving you can go to the Serving Secrets lessons.
