Reverse pendulum serve in doubles
Serving
Abhinav Upadhyay Asked 12 years ago
Hi,
I am finally starting to get spin and speed on my reverse pendulum serve, it is funny that suddenly I was trying this serve after 2 weeks and it started to work out of the blue :)
Now, I am planning to use it in matches. We tend to play a lot of doubles matches. As I am a left handed player, I think it will be difficult for me to use reverse pendulum serve and get the ball cross court. Any advice that I can use?
As an aside, it feels that the reverse pendulum requires a lot of wrist work, I think I sprained my wrist :(

Hi Abhinav,
To get the ball across for the doubles serve just change the angle of your feet slightly. It will just take a little bit of practice.
You do need to be careful of your body when you are doing something new repetitively. Maybe take a rest from it for a few days and make sure your wrist recovers properly.
