Hi Erriza,

Your weight transfer from your back leg to the front leg during the action of serving.  However, I see a lot of players transferring their weight too early and ending up too front on when they contact the ball on the serve.

For our Premium members we have the tutorial on the Pendulum Serve which goes through the serve in detail.
