The exact same serve placed to a different spot on the table can be much more difficult for your opponent to return.

I thought it was called Scorpion serve because the way she moves/starts the serve.


What she does after it gives different effects depending on how she hit's the ball.
In my opinion it's the border of a legal serve because she throws the ball to her body and hard to see what she does.
