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

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.

Variation of Speed

Varying the speed is different from varying the length. You can have a fast short serve and a slow short serve. You can also have a fast long serve and a slow long serve.
