Left handed serve

Strategy

Hi,

I'm left handed and I was just wondering if some kind of serve is better if you’re left handed, and if so how to use it in a strategy. 

Thanks

Hi Eugenio,

I think it all depends on the opponent.

I like the short Pendulum serve to the forehand because it takes the right hander away from the middle of the table and is swinging away from your opponent.

Each opponent is different though.  For some players my weaker serves are more effective because they really can’t handle that particular serve.
