Hi Alois and Jeff,

I have a problem with my pendulum serve. Once, I did the pendulum serve but my friend informed me that the ball didn't spin. Was the problem located on my bat? Thx before!

Hi Archel,

The problem may have been that the contact wasn't a brushing contact.  If you contact the ball flat then it will not spin.
