Reverse Pendulum Serve - Standing Position

Serving

Manfred Asked 9 years ago

Hi Alois, hi Jeff,

i found a couple of Video in YouTube showing how to learn the reverse pendelum serve.  

I wonder a bit because some players standing in front of the table, not sidewards. 

Is the purpose of the sideward position to hit the ball at the golden triangle. Or what is the reason of the sideward position.

I find this both possibilities comfortably.

Many thanks for your help 

Manfred

Hi Manfred,

I think standing side on to the table allows you to move the bat more freely forward towards the net.  When you are standing front on to the table the natural movement is to get the bat swinging to the side.

High Toss Serve

The high toss serve looks spectacular and it gets results. It is particularly suited to the pendulum serve but we encourage you to try it out with all of your serves. Follow these instructions and add the high toss serve to your repertoire.
