This is revision number #2. See all revisions

The Forehand Pendulum Serve has the racket move in the motion of a clock pendulum, circling down and forward. This is a very effective service type because with slight adjustments it can make underspin, sidespin, topspin or no-spin, while the stroke will look quite similar. This is good for disguising the spin on your service.

This serve is also very versatile in that you can do a large variety of serves from that starting point, and the opponent won't know what to expect.
