At 3:03 of this [video]. I've been trying but I either make it too obvious or roll the ball into the net.

Hi Ankur,
This is a fast reverse pendulum serve. Try to hit the ball closer to you on your side and hit it quite fast and flat.

The Kicker Serve
The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.
