Hi Kosheen,

The Tomahawk serve is a good one at your height.  You can really swing your arm through the ball.  The Pendulum serve can be awkward.

Hi Jakhongir,

A long serve only bounces once on the opponents side.   To do this bounce it close to you on your side and ht the ball hard and fast into the table.

owww.. ok then, so if i want to make it bounce twice on opponent's side, which and how should i serve?

To get it to bounce twice you make the contact on the ball finer.  This will get it to travel a shorter distance.  Still make the first bounce close to you on your side.
