Hi Andrew,

I think it is easier to do the Reverse Pendulum serve with the penhold than with the shakehand.  The key for the serve for me is to finish with your bat heading towards the opposite net post, with the edge of your bat leading the way.

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.
