In this video, I explain how to return a forehand pendulum serve aimed at your backhand.
The footage is taken from a real coaching session with a player called Simon. Simon had a very good season in his local league, but he really wants to improve his return of serves. And the serve he struggles with most is the forehand pendulum serve.
In the session I show Simon how to read the spin, how to return the serve in a basic way and how to return the serve in a more advanced way.
This video is essential viewing to any player who also struggles returning a pendulum serve.
