When performing a pendulum serve how high should I toss the ball?

Alois Rosario Answered 11 years ago

Hi Will,

You can toss it as high as you want just as long as it is at least the minimum height. There are advantages and disadvantages to all heights. I like the higher toss for the pendulum serve but others prefer the lower toss.

See what is comfortable for you.

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.
