The Pendulum Serve The Pendulum Serve, probably the most used serve in the world because of the amount of variation you can use in to the serve. You want to try and stand like this on the back hand side with your right forward if your left handed and your left leg forward if you're right handed. The grip again it's a loose grip, but it depends on how you feel more comfortable you can experiment with different grips, forehand, no fingers, index finger on the top, it's your choice, try and experiment to find the best balance for you. The tip of the head points downwards, it slightly varies depending on what type of side spin you want to put on the ball. If you want to put sidespin backspin, pure sidespin or sidespin topspin. So in general you want to try and get as much sidespin on the ball as possible and then try to disguise it by as soon as you have contacted the ball you want to move your hand in a different direction to deceive the opponent in which point you contacted the ball. It's difficult for them to see it once you have hit the ball and then moved your arm very quickly. So this is how you do the Pendulum Serve. Again there is many different variation but this is just one example. As you can see the ball swerves a little bit like a banana, it bends, what that means is you have put a lot of sidespin, again there is many different variations. So if you can learn to disguise the ball with the Pendulum people generally miss-read if it's a bit of backspin sidespin, if it's topspin sidespin and therefore you get weaker returns or misses and that makes your serve a great serve.
