Short Fast Serves
Serving
Bp Ghy Asked 6 years ago
Hi Alois,
Whenever I try to do a short pendulum serve, it always goes super slowly making it very easy for the opponent to counter. If it try to add more power, it becomes a long serve. Do you have any tips on how to make my short serve faster without making it a long serve? Thanks in advance.

Hi BP,
This is an interesting thing to try. We have a tutorial on it. Take a look at Serving Short & Fast which is in our Advanced Advanced Serving FAQ section.

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.
