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.

Variation of Spin

Varying the spin on your serve makes it harder to return. You can vary the type of spin but possibly even more effective is varying the amount of spin.
