Reverse pendulum techniques

Serving

Is it necessary to flick my wrist out after I've swung my wrist towards my chest or will it just give my reverse pendulum serve a better spin? I only flick my wrist towards my chest but not out.

Thanks for the answer on how to do the reverse pendulum serve, it REALLY helped me. Now I can do better spins  on my serve but I'm still practicing.

Thanks for answering this question :)

Hi Caleb,

You should flick your wrist out as well to get better spin.

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.
