Hi Cristh,
This is the Reverse Tomahawk serve. I think you can do this with the penhold grip. You can use the reverse side to hit the ball.
The serve can be effective. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you. It certainly works for Ding Ning.

The Float Serve
The float or no spin serve is an effective tool to have in your bag of serves. It adds good variation to your serves and can often set you up with an easy 3rd ball opportunity.

Hi Cristh,
Yes getting down low will help you to get the ball lower as well. You need to be hitting the ball when it is quite low to the table. If you are standing up with that action the ball will be contacted very high and so will bounce high.
