Pendulum serves
Serving
Martin Coronel Asked 12 years ago
I know that if a right handed player uses a sidespin or topspin pendulum serve it usually curves to the right but how can a right handed player make it to go left instead.

Hi Martin,
They can do the reverse Pendulum serve. You do this by brushing on the opposite side of the ball.
Start with the forehand side of your bat facing in towards you and then flick your wrist through brushing the right hand side of the ball. Finish with your bat pointing at the far net post.

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.
