 Why do lots of players use the pendulum serve always or often?

Hi Maverick,

It is an easy serve to get a lot of spin on the ball because it utilises the wrist well.  It also puts players into a good position to play the forehand on the next ball.

It isn’t for everyone though.  Make sure you find a serve that you feel comfortable with.

No Spin Serve

It may sound like a bad idea but the no spin serve can be effective when put together with a range of spin serves. In fact, this is a must have in your arsenal of serves.
