Disadvantages of serves
Serving
Ivandri Lowell Asked 14 years ago
Sir, I want to ask about your opinion on both tomahawk and pendulum serves, what are the disadvantages of both?

Hi Ivandri,
The tomahawk serve is difficult to generate a lot of spin because it is difficult to use your wrist effectively.
The pendulum serve I don;t think has any real disadvantages. You just need to work on all your serves as much as you can.

The Kicker Serve
The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.
