Jim Ross Unknown Asked 17 years ago

When serving a forehand side spin pendulum serve, which part of the ball do you aim for???

Alois Rosario Answered 17 years ago

Hi Jim,

The key is to aim for the side of the ball. If you are looking down on the ball and seeing it as a disc you are aiming for the inside of the ball. You need to brush the ball so that you are generating spin and the ball heads forward.

Our Serving DVD will explain this clearly for you.
