hi alois,
i just didnt understand some things...... whats the exact position when doing a pendulum serve and how high should our elbow be while servicing??
Your positon is side on to the table with your left leg touching the backhand corner of the table.
Your elbow should be up quite high up around the same height as your shoulder, so that your forearm can swing through like a pendulum.

ok..... and we do have to bend our body right?
Yes, bend your legs to get down a little lower.
