Reverse Pendulum Backspin Serve

Serving

Rutvik Thakkar Asked 11 years ago

I tried the backspin reverse pendulum serve. I am able to get the action right but I am not able to get much spin on the ball and it is easily attacked by the opponent. Can you help me where am I going wrong.

Hi Rutvik,

Once you have the action, then try to get a finer contact and also get the contact on the front of the bat near the front edge. You may also need to think about raising the top of your bet up higher so that you can get more under the ball.

It is a tricky serve but with a lot of practice it will get better. Also take a video of yourself doing it so that you can watch yourself and see what you are actually doing.

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.
