Topspin or backspin with a side spin serve
Serving
Shane Lamb Asked 9 years ago
I've been wondering as to how I can add topspin or backspin while doing a side spin pendulum ball as when ever I do my pendulum service it is extremely random backspin with the server

Hi Shane,
Think of it as adding a little backspin or sidespin with your sidespin serve. You don't have to generate pure backspin or topspin.
For our Premium members we have just filmed and released a new Pendulum Serve lesson which shows all of this really clearly.

so with a pendulum serve how would I add back spin to the ball with side spin?
If you think of the ball as a clock face, then hit the ball qt 7 o'clock. This will give you the backspin and the sidespin.
