Hi Shripathi,
Great to see the Master in action. This is a Reverse Pendulum serve but he does contact the ball quite flat and fast so that the ball travels fast down the line. It can be a really effective serve as a change up after doing a lot of short serves.

Variation of Placement
The exact same serve placed to a different spot on the table can be much more difficult for your opponent to return.

not to mention he looked in the opposite direction while using this serve! any chance of making a video on how to do it ?
Yes he was very deceptive. I don't think we will be able to replicate it but when we get a chance we may try to make a video about how he does it.

I would love to see you guys attempt to replicate this serve. It seems to be a very effective serve and it always puts a huge smile on my face when he aced people with it. Hope ya'll make this video!

Shripathi,
That is a very good instructional video. But I'm I missing something, at 3.50 in the video I didn't see any Reverse Pendulum serve?
