Pendulum serve follow through
Serving
DHS Lover Asked 10 years ago
Hi PingSkills
I saw a lot of advanced players like to follow through after they do the pendulum serve. Is it effected the ball or just to trick the opponent? should we do that or not?

Hi Frendy,
It is basically just for effect and to confuse your opponent. It doesn’t add anything after the ball has been contacted.

It kind of affects the amount of force and spin I exert though
Hi Kong,
You should focus on normal serve and simple contact till you feel comfortable with that.

I found some top players like to follow through the serve (zhang ji ke, ma lin, etc) and some of them never do that (Ma long, Timo Boll, etc)
If the follow through is to confuse the opponent, why some of them don't want to do that?
