Hi Ivan,

There are lots of serves that you can try out there.  The one I like to start players with is the Pendulum serve.

With this you start in a side on position and have your elbow up high at shoulder level.  Then swing your forearm through like a Pendulum.  On the contact brush the ball so that you can make it spin.

We have a good video and explanation on our Serving Secrets lessons but this is a simple explanation that you can try with first.

To have a look at the Ma Lin serve take a look at this. How to Execute the Ma Lin Serve.

Your bat depends on your budget.  We recommend the PingSkills Rook to start with.  Then you can progress onto a Custom bat after that.  What are you using at the moment?
