Hi Ronald,
His Reverse Pendulum serve is effective because he has very good control as to where it goes and with what spin.
He comes in like he is doing a pendulum serve misses it on the first pass and then hits it on the way back with the reverse movement.

Maybe you could show a video of him doing the serve.
Hi Ronald,
You can do a search on youtube for Zhang Jike and see a lot of examples of his games. I think it is a great idea to watch the best players like Zhang playing and serving. It is a good way to learn. Here is one link to a match with Ma Lin where he does this serve http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3vXeR3EW1o at 2:25. But there are lots out there.
