Good evening coach, is it possible that in a pendulum serve we can contact the ball twice, as in sidespin serve contact starts at left side of the racket tilted down then finishing it with the rightside of the racket, or a chop starting with the lower end of the racket finishing it with the upper side of the racket? creating a fast ball with no spin? its a one stroke motion. if its possible is it legal?

Hi Jim,

This is an interesting concept.  You are only allowed to hit the ball once intentionally.  It is also very difficult to do.  You are better off to focus on getting a good contact on the ball and generating as much spin as you can.

Variation of Speed

Varying the speed is different from varying the length. You can have a fast short serve and a slow short serve. You can also have a fast long serve and a slow long serve.
