When performing a pendulum serve how high should I toss the ball?
Alois Rosario Answered 13 years ago
Hi Will,
You can toss it as high as you want just as long as it is at least the minimum height. There are advantages and disadvantages to all heights. I like the higher toss for the pendulum serve but others prefer the lower toss.
See what is comfortable for you.
