Hi Alois,

What is the technique for the pendulum serve and what are your main tips for making sure it is effective?

Thanks

Hi Kabeer,

A couple of things to think about is your stance and then your swing.  Stand side on to the table and the get your elbow up high.  Swing through with your forearm in a pendulum motion.

We have a detailed explanation and demonstration in a tutorial in the Must Learn Serves section of the site.  Take a look at what is available on the Pendulum Serve video.

Hi Alois, 

 Thanks for the advice. I will try to use it in my game. Unfortunately, the video you sent me requires me to be a premium member which I can’t do, so do u have any other videos/tutorials I could watch? 

Thanks
