You cheeky bugger calling me Mehul, the boy that...
I know wang hao somewhat used this serve as his main for several years but as far as I can tell, this serve is SO much easier to execute with shakehand rather than penhold.
with shakehand, i always felt like it was a tomahawk motion like serve just done almost behind your body and by your waste.
Flick straight to the side for a lot of side/top.
Flick down & side for side/back. Quick wrist flick here helps.
But with penhold? it's a different story. The way the blade is facing, the head is already down and the wrist flick motion is just different. IDK. Maybe it's just me. But for all the advantages one is suppose to get in serving with penhold, I don't feel this particular serve is one of them.
