Hi Alois,
Can you show me a serve which can create all types of spins depending on the point of contact and is also used by good players.
Thanks,
Chandrachur

Hi Chandrachur,
The Pendulum serve is one that you can use however most serves will allow you to do this by varying the contact point of the serve. This depends on where int he arc of the swing you make the contact.
We show you this in detail in the Must Learn Serves section in the individual serves.

Pendulum serve is the best serve and u have varieties in pendulum serve too. My serve varies .
I use reverse pendulum serve or pendulum serve but in both the cases I spin it a lot. My serve is actually different , it has extreme spin with a effective chop and the ball is very speed which makes the opponent difficult to receive; and if they receive am gonna hit the ball on opposite side. U should always make ur opponent tried and do not use the same type of serve because it makes ur opponent to determine the spin and counter it. And after the serve never give a plain ball to ur opponent and my style it silent spin, the opponent cannot understand the spin.
