Pendulum sidespin serve goes into net
Serving
Adil Adil Asked 8 years ago
Hi. I am having problem producing sidespin in pendulum serve. When I try that brushing contact, it bounces twice on my side and hit the net.:(

Hi Adil,
Try contacting the ball a little higher. Then hit the ball more down into your side of the table. This will help to get the ball to bounce over the net with the brushing contact.

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.

Thankyou for your response,just found out that you did a few videos on youtube(maybe I could of save you time)
Hi Kowkching,
Yes we have a lot of videos :) I feel the best place to watch them is on the site. We group videos together in a way we feel is effective for your learning. You can progress through each of our tutorials and learn a skill step by step. On YouTube it is harder to watch them in a logical order. Also you can record that you've watched a video (in fact it will be marked as such when you reach the end of each video), mark it as a favourite, and also ask questions directly below the video in the comments.
I'm glad you are finding the videos helpful. Good luck with your table tennis!
