Hello Coach 

I can do under spin, side spin pendulum serve, but unable to figure out how to do top spin serve. Saw a few videos but not sure what am i missing. Please share some tips and/or videos to help learn it.

Thanks

Hi Vijay,

The topspin serve can be difficult to understand.

Try thinking about brushing up the back of the ball and contacting the ball really late in the swing of the pendulum.  If you think about it you want to hit it on the part of the Pendulum motion when the racket is on the upward path.

The high toss serve looks spectacular and it gets results. It is particularly suited to the pendulum serve but we encourage you to try it out with all of your serves. Follow these instructions and add the high toss serve to your repertoire.
