Hi Judah,

This is just a Pendulum serve.  He is coming across the back of the ball to generate sidespin. He is varying the serve a bit. He is doing a lot of topspin sidespin serves.

They are bouncing twice on the table so difficult to attack.  It would be best to get them as early as possible and either push or flick them depending on the spin.  If you see them as having topspin then you can try flicking.
