What are the different advantage and disadvantage of the pendulum, reverse pendulum serve

Hi Mat,

The main advantage is the ability to use your wrist more than in most other serves.

The main disadvantage is that it is a serve that a lot of players are used to receiving now so they are better at receiving the Pendulum than most other 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.
