Start of the pendulum serve

Serving

I started my serve routine before I became a member of pingskills and I need to know if I need to change.  I notice most players start with their bat near flat or parallel with the table.  I start with my bat vertical.  The end of the bat is pointed at the ceiling and the face of the bat faces the net.  This seems comfortable to me because that is how I started.  Do I need to change.  Thanks.

Hi Mark,

No you don't have to change.  The most critical part is the contact of the ball.  If you are getting this right then stay with what you know.
