How can improve my pendulum and tomahawk serves as I cannot do them consistently spinny?

Hi Mergim,
If you are starting to get spin on them already you are doing well. Now it is a matter of practicing a lot of times. It can take many hours to get serves correct to a stage where you can use them in a match situation. It is a very fine skill that takes time. So persevere and get out onto the table as much as you can and you will find that your serves will improve.

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.
