Hi Sunita,

Thanks for your question.
 
Ma Long serves very well but he is basically doing the Pendulum serve.  The thing that he does well is that he changes his serve effectively with subtle changes in spin and speed.
 
To do the Pendulum serve you need to be side on to the table, get your elbow up really high and then utilise your forearm like a pendulum and brush the ball on contact.
 
We have a Premium series on serving which will help you later.  Take a look at what is available in our Serving Secrets section.  Take a look in particular at the Serving Secrets Introduction which ia a free video and then the Pendulum Serve which is a Premium lesson.
