What type of serve is effective to make the ball come to my forehand for third ball attack?

Hi Madan,
Often a Reverse pendulum serve will take the spin over to your forehand side as will a backhand sidespin serve.
You need to see with each opponent what works best though because different players have different likes. The other thing to consider is where you place the serve. Remember a lot of players will play cross court. So if you serve it to their forehand corner, a lot of players will tend to play the ball across to your forehand side.

Tactics Against Penhold Players
When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
