Jason here from Yarrawonga, There has been some controversy about serving. Where are you allowed to serve in regard to the side of the table?? As long as you strike the ball inside the line of the table for the pendulum serve? Ps. I hope countryweek can go back to Albert ParK???

Thank you so much! Have been waiting for this video! I use backhand when I play doubles and always feel awkward and incompetent when i serve. Hopefully this video will help me become confident.

I serve a lot backhand, but I can't get anything like the spin Jeff was in the video. is this just timing?
