How to receive reverse pendulum serve?
Alois Rosario Answered 11 years ago
Hi Harish,
If you are both right handed, it is probably easier with your backhand. This will give you the angle to angle the ball over to the right. The spin from the Reverse Pendulum will want to take the ball to your left so you need to counter that.
Depending on whether it has backspin or topspin with the sidespin you need to angle your bat up or down more.
We do show this in our Receiving Secrets series of lesson.
