Serving

Hi,

I have seen a lot of match videos of Timo Boll. Even though it is very difficult to disguise the reverse pendulum serve from a normal pendulum serve because of the drastic change of your bat swing, I feel that Timo's serve is still quite well disguised. He uses almost the same bat swing for pendulum and reverse pendulum serve.  It would be great to see a video on this serve.

Hi Abhinav,

He does the Reverse really well.  We show you the Reverse Pendulum Serve in the Serving Secrets section.  Then try to make the start of both your Pendulum and Reverse Pendulum the same position.  It will take some training.
