Problem in Pendulum Topspin Serve
Serving
Archel Taneka Sutanto Asked 12 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff,
After practicing, I finally got a little feeling of the pendulum backspin serve. Thank you for your advice(s). I also tried practicing the pendulum topspin serve, I combined it with the fast serve. It came out quite good, but I had a problem with it. The ball sometimes bounce off the table, I thought it was because I hit it too strong. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot
Regards, Archel

Hi Archel,
See where it is bouncing on your side of the table. Try to get it to bounce quite close to you. This will help to get it shorter on the other side of the table and give it time to rise up to get over the net as well.

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.
