Hi alois and jeff,

When doing the pendulum serve, where should I contact the ball? The back of the ball and across into my body or the left side of the ball and forward

Hi Eugene,

You can do either of these.  You can come across the back of the ball or down the side of the ball closest to you.  The key part is to get a brushing contact to generate the spin.
