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.

The Float Serve

The float or no spin serve is an effective tool to have in your bag of serves. It adds good variation to your serves and can often set you up with an easy 3rd ball opportunity.
