Hi Siddhartha,
The pendulum serve is Ma Long's main serve. He has a fairly high toss and keeps his arms relaxed. He serves a lot of backspin and some sidespin topspin as well. To do the fast pendulum serve, he swings through a bit faster and gets the first bounce close to him.
Our video for premium members on the Pendulum Serve shows the technique in detail.
