Hihi Pingskills,

May I know how to recover from pendulum grip and twiddle in time for the next ball if I do a pendulum serve with my Backhand rubber?

Hi Benzene,

You would quickly grip the racket normally after the Pendulum serve and then do the twiddling action.  It is easier to do the twiddle when you have the racket in the palm of your hand. It is not a long process to do either of these things so should be manageable.  

The best thing is to practice the movement off the table at first, even sitting in front of the computer.  You will quickly get better at the action.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
