Hi MuMu,

To make the Pendulum serve stand with your left leg just touching the table on your backhand corner.

Start with your elbow up at shoulder level and then use the lower part of your arm like a pendulum.

The PingSkills DVD, Serving Secrets Revealed covers this serve and shows you lots of examples in a clear precise way.  It also shows you different variations that you can do with the serve.  If you get a chance, get yourself a copy of it through our Online Store.  I am sure it will help you with your serving.

#26 - Serving with Placement

Just by placing your serve better, you'll be able to win more points. Think about what happens when a good server plays you. What positions do they serve to that you find difficult. Try serving to similar positions yourself. We give you plenty of time to practice serving with placement in this week's training session.
