How to practise a reverse and normal pendulum serve without a table?

Hi Arnogh,
You can just hit the ball onto the floor and watch the spin on it.
You can also just use any type of table like a dinner table and hit the ball onto there.

No Spin Serve
It may sound like a bad idea but the no spin serve can be effective when put together with a range of spin serves. In fact, this is a must have in your arsenal of serves.

But what are advantages of having reverse pendulum into one's arsenal? It is much more difficult to learn than the original pendulum, but only gives an ability to server reverse sidespin (with topspin/nospin/backspin). Then why one should learn it?
It is a good variation. Often you will find that players are either good at receiving sidespin one way but not as good the other way. So if they are good at receiving the normal Pendulum you can try the Reverse to see how they cope.

Thats true. Very few layers are go at returning both types of sidespin.
I have another question about the revers pendulum serve. When I do it, sometimes balls goes out from my extreme backhand side. How to prevent this? I also van't get judgment while doing the reverse pendulum serve.
