Hi

Currently I am winning lots of points with a reverse pendulum serve, however I cannot seem to get much spin on my pendulum serve. How can I get more spin on it? 

Also, what serve would you say is the hardest to return?

Hi Sam,

Try hitting the serve a little faster and really going after the ball with a fast swing.  At the same time, get that brushing action.  Keep your wrist relaxed so that the wrist also helps with the speed of your bat.

There is no such thing as the best serve.  It is only the best serve you can do at a particular time against your opponent. Each opponent and in each situation is different.
