Hi Shakerobo,
You can use any serve t serve short. It will depend on which one you feel comfortable with.
I like the pendulum serve but there are all the other options out there that you can also use.
Serving short is a big key to improving your game, so I am glad that you are focusing on it. See which one works best 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.
