Can people list me 3rd ball attacks? I have a good backhand punch and would like to know some serves (preferably backhand) that will let me punch the return.

Fast flat serve to the elbow or armpit.  If you get the angle on the return then punch.

Serve to his forehand short with right-to-left pendulum swing and underspin. If he pops it up to your left, kill it.

I think he is asking what kind of a serve would be best for 3rd ball attack with a backhand....

I use a backhand pendulum with under spin/side spin motion spinning the ball to the left. Aimed at an elbow generally has good chance it will pop up.

Other spins may instead send the ball to the forehand, so you will be out of luck.

Sidetop to the forehand or backhand, doesn't matter. It will pop up if he's not expecting it! And if it goes way too high just swat kill :D or just smash it forehand.

oooo lalalala sounds very good, totoro. I personally do topspin with a tiny bit of side to confuse opponent and then forehand smash

By the way is there some online tutorials or videos of players doing them? I would gladly appreciate the links!

I mix up some short backhand back spin serves with some no spin serves from the back hand court.
If the other player doesnt pick the no spin it usually pops up nice and high for a backhand punch!
