Hi. I am having problem producing sidespin in pendulum serve. When I try that brushing contact, it bounces twice on my side and hit the net.:(

Hi Adil,

Try contacting the ball a little higher.  Then hit the ball more down into your side of the table.  This will help to get the ball to bounce over the net with the brushing contact.

Hi Kowkching,

Yes we have a lot of videos :) I feel the best place to watch them is on the site. We group videos together in a way we feel is effective for your learning. You can progress through each of our tutorials and learn a skill step by step. On YouTube it is harder to watch them in a logical order. Also you can record that you've watched a video (in fact it will be marked as such when you reach the end of each video), mark it as a favourite, and also ask questions directly below the video in the comments.

I'm glad you are finding the videos helpful. Good luck with your table tennis!
