Hi Rahul,

The grip for the Pendulum serve is to take your 3 fingers away from the handle. Then make a fist with them behind the handle. This will allow better wrist movement during the serve.

You can also use this grip for the Reverse Pendulum serve.

The correct movements are shown fully in the Serving Secrets Revealed DVD.

I hope this helps with your serving. Serving is a crucial part of the game.

Thanks, I've been wondering for a while too. I have much more trouble with the reverse than the normal.
