Hi Marcus,

We have the DVD Serving Secrets Revealed which will show you exactly how to do the sidespin serve.  It goes through sidespin for a wide variety of serves like the Pendulum serve, the backhand serve and the Tomahawk serve.

Purchase your copy.  I am sure it will help you.

hi Alois,

I bought your DVD (actually online download) i got it right away. it is great! i'm now beating guys easily which i had trouble playing with before. i have a feeling sometimes that it's an unfair advantage because now it's just an easy point scored after i serve or the returns are so easy i can smash them. (mixing up with back/top spins using the pendulum serve)

one question on the side spin serve. on the clock face, with 12 facing the net, i've been hitting the ball on 9 side (3 for reverse pendulum) but on the videos you seem to be hitting them at about 6..is it correct or my clockface orientation is wrong? i see the effect of the ball when it hits my opponents bat but i want the ball to curve like you do on the videos. i'm wondering i might be doing something wrong. thanks.

hi, i think you just need to go for a thinner and faster contact to get more spin. sounds like you are doing it correctly just concentrate on really brushing the side fast but just nicking the edge of the ball. give that a try.
