Hi Pingskills,
I am struggling with the sidespin with topspin pendulum serve. Can you post a video please?

Hi Nathan,
We have a video on this. Take a look at the Pendulum Serve tutorial .
The main thing is to get the brushing contact right first. Then think about hitting the ball on the later part of the Pendulum swing when your racket is going in an upward direction. This is what will give you the topspin on the serve.

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.
