Receiving
Hi Simon,
This is a really common problem. Receiving serves is the hardest part of the game. It is really a lot to do with the amount of times you have seen the serve and played against it.
If you understand the basics then it is a mater of experiencing it more. If you can read other types of serves then it is definitely the case. I find the Reverse Pendulum serve more difficult than other serves because I never played against it competitively.
Find someone with good serves and get them to play a lot of games with you or just do serve and receiving practice if you can.
To be able to receive serve effectively, you need to know how the ball will react when it hits your bat with different types of spin. We go into detail to explain this with the use of our disc wheel.
