Hi Alois and Jeff,

I've tried the sidespin pendulum serve and it confused my opponents a lot.. Thx for your help! But I want to try the backspin pendulum serve, could you help me how to do it?

Thx in advance! :D

Hi Archel,

God work to get your Pendulum serve working.  You have done the hard part.  Now just experiment with the angle of your racket.  To get more pure backspin, lift the end of your bat up higher so that when the bat hits the ball it is horizontal.
