Pendulum service problems
Serving
Caylan Chuc Asked 11 years ago
Hello Alois,
About the pendulum service when i practice this service i usually hit it in the net. I want to know how exactly to not hit it in the net or the judge calls a let. Am I supposed to draw back WHEN/DURING I'm serving or there is a better way.
thank you in advance

Hi Caylan,
The best thing is to focus on hitting the ball from a little higher and hitting it straight into the table in front of you. Close to your own end line. This will give the ball more time to take off and get over the net.
