 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.
