Hi Alois and Jeff,

In singles, we can serve to any sides of table, but in doubles we must serve diagonally. My problem is, I can't serve it across to the opponents' table, especially with the pendulum serve. Where is the problem should be?

Thanks in advance! :D

Hi Archel,

Just try to reposition yourself so that you are facing that side of the table with your pendulum serve.  Get your left shoulder pointing to where you want the ball to go.  

It is just altering your body position that will allow you to do it.  It will feel awkward at first but you will get the feel of it.
