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.

Variation of Speed

Varying the speed is different from varying the length. You can have a fast short serve and a slow short serve. You can also have a fast long serve and a slow long serve.
