I often do a pendulum serve and think that ive put spin in it, but the ball ends up with no spin, what did i do wrong?

Hi Clement,

It may be the contact you are getting on the ball.  Even if the action is good, the contact is all important to generating the spin.

You should focus on getting a more brushing action.

The other thing to think about is where on your bat you are hitting the ball.  Try to contact it lower, further away front he handle which is the part of the bat that is moving faster and therefore will enable you to generate more spin.
