Hi Madan,

We have these in our lesson course on Serving Secrets.  In there we have a specific lesson on how to do the Pendulum Serve and another on the Reverse Pendulum Serve.  They go through in detail the start and finish positions of these serves and give you some useful tips on how to perform them.

To return these serves you need to watch the start and finish positions and also watch the flight of the ball.  If the ball is curving to the left it will spin off to your right.  That means you need to angle your bat to face the left side to counter the spin on the ball.  The reverse is also true.

Our course on Receiving Secrets goes through this for you.

Fake Movements

After the ball has left the server's bat, they can no longer affect the spin that is on the ball. Any movements after the contact are referred to as fake movements and are meant to confuse you as the receiver. You need to focus on the contact to read the spin.
