Pendulum Serve

Serving

Ernest Wahyu Asked 10 years ago

Hi Alois,

What is the easiest spin to do with a pendulum serve and what kind of spin should we learned first when practicing a pendulum serve over the table?

Thanks

Hi Ernest,

I think it is best and easiest to start with a simple sidespin serve. Your racket is already in the position to generate sidespin.

← Ball Flight Stage and More Spin Overcoming your opponent's spin with heavy back or sidespin →

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.
