I've been reading that BH dominant players use the reverse pendulum and that FH dominant players
use the pendulum however it's not making sense. It's obvious when you watch Zike, FZD and ML that
it's true. But...when you pendulum serve with back sidespin, it's
common for your opponent to easily push it to your BH. The pivot FH 3rd ball isn't the ideal FH as it leaves
the wide FH open. Wouldn't you want to reverse pendulum as the spin would sway the return
towards the FH side? I've tried this and it works for a 3rd ball FH attack in the FH zone.
Conversely, would a BH dominant player want the spin swayed towards a BH area return with
a normal pendulum serve?
