Hi Gunjan,

For the Pendulum topspin serve you can have the finger across the back of the bat or you can have it curled whichever is more comfortable for you.

To confuse your opponent with the serve you need to make it look as similar as possible to the backspin serve.  Do this by hitting the ball at different timing points with a similar swing.  The topspin serve is hit a little later int he swing when the bat is moving upwards.  The backspin is hit earlier int eh swing when the bat is on the downward path.
