Hi Utkarsh,

The main things are to get the contact right. By getting the contact as a brushing contact then you will start to generate spin. The second key principle is to brush the ball as fast as you can to get the ball to spin around faster.

In our Course on Serving Secrets we go through in detail how to perform the Pendulum serve as well as a whole lot of other serves. We also show you how to generate spin and the principles of it so that you learn fully how to get good serves.

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.
