Hi Alois;

I have a reverse pendulum serve similar to the Wang Hao serve; but I can't change between pendulum and reverse pendulum and hide it

Thanks

Hi Sam,

It is difficult to disguise the two.  You will see that most players just do one or the other.  Schlager used to start in the Reverse position and come through and do the regular pendulum. This was quite successful.

Variation of Spin

Varying the spin on your serve makes it harder to return. You can vary the type of spin but possibly even more effective is varying the amount of spin.

Liam Pitchford does quite a good disguise, however I am finding it hard to copy it with a lot of spin.
