Ontivero blackitin Asked 14 years ago
Hi alois, I was extremely confused, I can't even do the pendulum serve. I know how to hold the bat to do the serve but I can't brush the ball or how do you know when you did it? or not?

Hi Ontivero,
To brush the ball you come straight through in one straight line. Get the swing coming in towards you a little.
It is easiest if you start to do this away from the table. This will allow you to swing through freely. See if you can get the contact first. When you are getting the contact correctly you will see the ball curving on the floor.
When you feel confident with this then you can step to the table and try it again.
The best idea is to purchase our Serving Secrets Revealed DVD. This will show you the techniques in great detail and will show you how to learn the serve in steps.
