Problem in Pendulum Topspin Serve

Archel Taneka Sutanto Asked 11 years ago

Hi Alois and Jeff,

After practicing, I finally got a little feeling of the pendulum backspin serve. Thank you for your advice(s). I also tried practicing the pendulum topspin serve, I combined it with the fast serve. It came out quite good, but I had a problem with it. The ball sometimes bounce off the table, I thought it was because I hit it too strong. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot
Regards, Archel

Hi Archel,

See where it is bouncing on your side of the table.  Try to get it to bounce quite close to you.  This will help to get it shorter on the other side of the table and give it time to rise up to get over the net as well.
