What serves are much easier to learn but difficult to return?

Hi Gracegillian,

I think the Pendulum serve is the one that is easiest to learn and also one of the most effective.

Take a search through our Ask the Coach questions to find a lot of tips on this 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.
