More power on Reverse Pendulum Serve

Serving

I am now practicing my reverse pendulum serve but most of the time i serve it, the ball just don't cross the net. It has much spin on it but I think there's not much power with it. My question is, how can I make it cross the net still with the spin i put in it?

Hi Ron,

Hit the ball straight into your side of the table.  Contact the ball from a little higher so that it has more bounce.  Finally get your follow through going more towards your opponent.  Experiment with these few things and see if it helps your serve.

Variation of Spin

Varying the spin on your serve makes it harder to return. You can vary the type of spin but possibly even more effective is varying the amount of spin.

Thanks! Just tried it here. Most of it now makes it across the net. I will just keep on practicing it. :)
