I can put topspin, sidespin and backspin on my service, but i can not serve the pendulum service or the reverse pendulum sevice. How should i practice these serves?

Hi Matias,

Get the basic movements right first.  Think about your start and finish positions of the serve.  Also think about your stance for them.  You will see all of the tips in our course on Serving Secrets.

Which serves do you like to do?

On the forehand side I like the fast backspin serve and the fast topspin serve. On the backhand side I like the sidespin serve. My opponent has a hard time playing my backspin serve back on to the table.

That is great.  Keep working on them and see if you can improve them even more.  Work on getting more spin on the serves.
