Werner Schlager's Grip for Pendulum Serve
Serving
Viet Dang Xuan Asked 11 years ago
Hi PingSkills,
As you all may know, Werner Schalager is arguably one of the best server in the world with a lot of spin and variations in his serve. But his grip for the pendulum serve is different. Normally we take out the three fingers and make a fist behind the handle, but he use the normal shakehand grip for this serve. How can he still generate a lot of spin?

Hi Viet,
He does seem to alter the grip for some of his Pendulum serves but not others. When he doesn’t he uses his wrist to change the angle.
