More power on Reverse Pendulum Serve
Serving
Ron Mangalindan Asked 12 years ago
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.

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.

Thanks! Just tried it here. Most of it now makes it across the net. I will just keep on practicing it. :)
Wow, that was quick practice... Well done.
