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.
