Help with reverse pendulum serve

ashley koh jia jhin Asked 12 years ago

Hi Alois and Jeff,

When doing the Reverse Pendulum serve, I can't hit the ball when it is falling because I always do the stroke too early. Can you guys give me tips on hitting the ball and then trying to improve my serve.

Thanks for reading my question guys!

Hi Ashley,

If you are hitting the ball too early try this simple trick.  When you throw the ball up count to your self, 1... 2... and then strike the ball.  This will help you to slow down your swing.  I find one problem that is common is that players don't swing enough forward on the stroke and swing behind the ball and miss it.  Just check that you are not doing this. Make sure that at the end of your swing your bat is going more forward towards the far net post.  I hope this will solve your problem
