Hi Henry,

I think the easiest serve to learn is the Pendulum serve. To do this you need to alter the grip by taking your 3 fingers off the handle and make fist behind the handle.

Then start with your arm up at shoulder level and use your forearm like a pendulum. We go through this in our lessons on Serving Secrets.
