Pendulum Serve

Serving

Brady B Asked 12 years ago

How can I improve my pendulum serve, even though I play Chinese Penhold?

Alois Rosario Answered 12 years ago

Hi Brady,

The penhold grip is a bit easier to do the pendulum serve as you don't need to modify your grip to do the serve like the shakehanders need to.

Get the bat brushing the ball fast and use your wrist through its full extension. Take a look at our Premium lesson on the Pendulum 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.
