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.

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.
