Grip pressure during pendulum serve
Serving
Michael Elia Asked 11 years ago
Hi coach Alois and Jeff can you tell me what should be the finger pressure like during the pendulum serve specifically in backspin serves?

Hi Michael,
On contact you may want to put a little more pressure on the thumb and forefinger but try to keep the wrist relaxed so it can move fast and through it's full range of motion.

so I must keep wrist always relaxed.The thumb and forefinger are relaxed to keep fluid motion but are squeezed just before the contact right?
Yes that is right.
