Hello coach, I'm vivan and I want to know how to do the pendulum serve. When I try it I always have a feeling that I've done something wrong so, can you please help me?

Hi Vineet,

There are a few basics.  Start by standing side on to the table and then get your elbow up at around shoulder height.  From there use your forearm like a pendulum.  We have a specific lesson on this called the Pendulum Serve in our Serving Secrets section.

Hey Alois, just wondering if I should use much wrist in the pendulum serve?
