How to serve the pendulum serve on both sides of the table,i.e., on the forehand and backhand corner of a right handed player?

I would be very grateful to you if you could make a video for this one.

Hi Sourav,

To change the angle of the serve just change the swing slightly to finish more in the direction you want the ball to go. 

The easiest way is to place some targets on the table where you want the ball to go and then just aim for the target.  It may sound simplistic but it is the best way to learn direction.
