Serving
I have already asked this question but i still can't do it! How do i have to hold the bat? with 3 fingers but how and when i hit the ball it hits the red help me please, how can i make it good?
Hi Ontivero,
The grip for the Pendulum serve is crucial.
Start with a normal grip. Take the 3 fingers away from the handle and then make a fist with them behind the handle. Now you are ready to make the serve.
The contact of the bat on the ball needs to be a brushing action to get the spin on the ball. Don't worry too much, just keep practicing, you will find it will improve the more you work on it.
We also have a DVD on serving that will show you in great detail a wide range of serves and how to do them. You can purchase Serving Secrets Revealed through our DVDs page on our website.
The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.
