Ball close to body on serve

Serving

Hi,

I noticed on your pendulum serves that you hit the ball quite close to your body. Is this a personal thing or do you gain more control and spin by doing this?

Cheers

Hi Bevan,

You do get more control closer to the body.  I guess my serve is also from the old days when you could hide the contact and hitting it closer to your body helped you with this as well.

High Toss Serve

The high toss serve looks spectacular and it gets results. It is particularly suited to the pendulum serve but we encourage you to try it out with all of your serves. Follow these instructions and add the high toss serve to your repertoire.
