Hi Henry,
I think the easiest serve to learn is the Pendulum serve. To do this you need to alter the grip by taking your 3 fingers off the handle and make fist behind the handle.
Then start with your arm up at shoulder level and use your forearm like a pendulum. We go through this in our lessons on Serving Secrets.

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.
