Hi Siddhartha,

It's great you have set your sights high. Jan Ove Waldner had one of the best pendulum serves of all time. I think you are best trying to learn the basic pendulum serve first and keep on developing it over time.

Our Pendulum Serve video covers this in detail.

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.
