Hi Kieran,

I think the best serve is the pendulum serve.  It has a lot of scope for variation and also can generate a lot of spin.

Start by standing side on to the table in your backhand corner, with your leftleg just touching the corner of the table.

Then start your swing with your arm straight out at shoulder level.  From here you can swing just your forearm down in a pendulum type action and brush the side of the ball.

If you geta  chance to watch any of the top players in the world you will notice many of them are doing this serve.

We cover this serve and a lot of others in our Serving Secrets Revealed DVD which is available through our website.  If you think you can improve your serves take a look at it.  I am sure it will help you.
