Hi Alois,

When i do reverse pendulum with backspin it only goes short, with topspin goes long and sidespin long sometimes and short sometimes.  Can you tell me how to vary the placement.

thanks

Hi Nishant,

For the backspin serve, hit the ball harder into your side of the table to get it longer.  Getting the topspin serve short is harder.  Again get the ball to bounce close to you on your side of the table but work on getting the ball really low over the net.

With everything about serving, there is no substitute for repetitive practice of the skill.
