Hi Joel,

The pendulum serve can be very simple if you remember the basics. Your leg position is side on to the table with your left leg just touching the backhand corner of the table.

Your start position is with your arm extended out perpendicular to your body.

The swing is with your lower arm only keeping your bat facing the side wall throughout.

To generate topspin you need to come up on the ball with your bat facing a bit more forward and hitting it a little later in your swing.

If you take a look at our new DVD, Serving Secrets Revealed DVD it will become a lot clearer. You can access it through our Online Store.
