Hello there, I play Ping-Pong as a hobby and I want to stun my friends with some serves. Do you have any really complicated serves or ones that look really tricky? I've looked at your video on the Ma Lin Backspin Serve and I like it, so do you have any favourites? Can you name specific ones? Thanks smile

Hi Patrick,

I think the easiest and most effective one in the Pendulum serve.

Take a look at our lesson on Serving Secrets Introduction which will show you some of these serves that you can try to copy.

If this is something that captures your imagination, you may be interested in joining our Premium membership so you can see the detailed lessons on Serving Secrets.

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.
