Great news Alois! Now i CAN do the pendulum serve thanks to you :DDDDDDDDDDDDD! but there is only one problem, when i do the pendulum serve I need to do it at large distance because if I do it at short distance the ball doesn't do the effect of the serve.

When i do it at short distance it doesn't do the effect.

When i do it at large distance it gets the effect but why?

I want to do it at short distance.

Thanks a lot

Took me one day of entire practice :D

Hi Ontiveri,

That is good news.  You will find just a lot of hard work and repetitive practice will get the serve better.

Just work between long and short distances and keep changing till you feel comfortable at the table.  When you get close to the table you may be feeling restricted.

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.
