Hi Dos,

Both the Pendulum and Reverse Pendulum serve rely on the basic principles of serving of generating spin through your contact and speed of contact.

This is something we stress many times and will only come with a lot of practice of the skill.  By a lot I mean thousands rather than hundreds of times.

Thank you for your kind words.  We try to keep things simple which I think is one of the keys of being able to learn.
