Hi again,

First thanks for answering my question in Ask the Coach show. Now i have the basics of the Pendulum serve!

I’m just curious about the Serve that Jeff did in your match vs him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTxATrjOoLY

On 4:35 , is the serve that jeff did, the basic pendulum serve? or is it a variation of it? Its not clear whether he swinged the bat in a pendulum motion or not.

Thanks again.

Hi Christian,

I thin that was a kind version of the Pendulum serve where he put no spin on the ball for me by just pushing his bat through the ball with a flat contact.

Here is an effective serve that you can learn and put into your game. It is a serve that not many players are using so as a variation and something new, this one can be a winner for you.

Only for exhibition purposes.  I guess as a variation if someone doesn’t have a strong flick or short game.
