Hi Shripathi,

Great to see the Master in action.  This is a Reverse Pendulum serve but he does contact the ball quite flat and fast so that the ball travels fast down the line. It can be a really effective serve as a change up after doing a lot of short serves.

not to mention he looked in the opposite direction while using this serve! any chance of making a video on how to do it ?

Yes he was very deceptive.  I don't think we will be able to replicate it but when we get a chance we may try to make a video about how he does it.

I would love to see you guys attempt to replicate this serve. It seems to be a very effective serve and it always puts a huge smile on my face when he aced people with it. Hope ya'll make this video!

Shripathi,

That is a very good instructional video. But I'm I missing something, at 3.50 in the video I didn't see any Reverse Pendulum serve?
