How do you do a fast chop serve?
Alois Rosario Answered 13 years ago
Hi Kirin,
You need to brush down on the ball. To get the ball to travel fast you also need to hit it a little flatter. Work on getting the contact fast and brushing.

Hi Alois, what's differene between a back spin pendulum serve and a fast chop serve ?
Hi Quy,
Not much. You can do a fast chop (backspin) serve with the Pendulum serve as well.

This video helped me, especially the suggestion that I experiment to find out what it takes to send the ball off the table. I was surprised at how hard I could hit it. I tried this serve last night against two of my regular opponents with good results. One of them returned most of these into the net. The other pushed them back (with a lot of spin) so I could loop them (with a LOT of spin). No doubt they'll figure out better responses over time, but it's good to have this in my bag of tricks, especially as a similar motion can produce a short serve.
Hi Douglas,
That is great. It is surprising just how hard you have to hit the ball to send it off the end of the table. I think we are so worried about serving a fault that we naturally back off a bit.
