Answer for How to improve receiving this FH pendulum serve?

Hey Fabian, 
This is something I’ve been working on myself, being better at returning these type of serves with my backhand and trying not to pivot too much. 
I think the biggest thing for you here that will help, is slowing down and waiting for the ball and then really trying to focus on more spin and brushing the contact better.  At the moment the shot is a bit rushed and your arm is quite tense.  So try to relax and playa smooth stroke and really try to get a soft brushing contact on the ball.
 
This will stop it shooting straight into the net which happens a bit here. For the forehand I think it’s similar in going for more spjna and hitting less flat. Then just making sure if you do pivot you get all the way around with enough space so you don’t end up leaning. Hope this helps Dan 🙂
