Hello Alois and Jeff!

What type of serve is Gustavo Tsuboi doing? Do you know the name of it? Looks lika a pendulum serve but i'm not sure. And what spin is he getting of it?

Hi Jakob,

Yes it is a Pendulum serve.  He just has a big backswing with it.  He can serve it with a lot of different spins like all the top players 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.
