Which serve provides the best combination of spin, deception, placement etc.? It seems that some serves are great for occasional use but cannot be varied much- the tomahawk serve is an example.
I am trying to perfect a pendulum serve which gives good side and back spin and I can sometimes produce deceptive top spin but accuracy is not great. When in trouble I revert to a backhand chop serve which is reliable, can be short or long to either side and I can put in a top spin which fools some players. In practice sessions I add other serves but would not use them in a serious game.
If you could only use one type of serve but you wanted to serve accurately and reliably, short or long, with various deceptive spins which would you use?
