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.

i am not a premium member so please tell me what is in this video and i also want to know how to do fast chop serve
