Serving away from the table usng double touch and racket speed

Siva Schopenhauer · Jul 26, 2016

Hi Guys, Though madness is consuming me to the fullest extent, once more I yielded to it by creating a new concept of serving in the opposite direction. Here, I am using double touch which I think is illegal, hopefully somebody could highlight those ITTF rules and with fast racket speed to keep them back to the table.

Actually, I am not hitting the ball just when moving my arm in the reverse direction. That I think is quite easy. Hope you like this stuff

If you don't contact on the backward motion, then it's technically legal. Don't expect an umpire to not call it though: that's too strange looking. Nevertheless pretty cool.

If I was an umpire I would call you on that serve simply because it seems very likely that you are contacting the ball twice and if that is the case then it is illegal.

Also IMHO I think if you was to use this serve in a match situation and it wasn't called then it would cause you more harm than good as your out of position which will make your margin for error on your third ball very slim and also the best place to return this serve due to the spin is short on your backhand which would put you on the back foot straight away.

Because this serve is obviously a serious, competitive technique.

I'm sorry I was under the impression that we train to use techniques (whatever that be) in match situations to improve our game??

Guys, it was meant to be fun, nothing serious and useful for tournament condtions, Neverthless it would be interesting to see what could happen if some body serves looking away from table

Old enough to drive, but not to drink, apparently.

"No fun allowed SWATbot" is a pretty popular meme, don't exactly have to know the original publication to reference it.

Aside from a hint of throwing from the fingers, I don't see any clear reason for calling fault.
In fact I have seen that serve before.

Hei, Google says both driving and drinking age to be 18. That is contradictory na. K I am a millenial and have very less awareness about these stuff. By meme, you mean the mangas or the usual pics on imgur , fb etc.
Hei

Actually I think double touch is fault na, not sure. But, If there is somebody else who had thought about this before, Hail Mary

Siva was asking if it was legal, which implies a serious match.

What double touch? Was in an accidental double hit when going forward?

Nice touch there Siva ! To me it looked like the ball rolled on the blade, nice job! Though it woudln't be legal. Would be almost the same as if you d dropped the ball on your paddle and then throw it onto the the table.

Siva Schopenhauer · Jul 27, 2016

so this is the unedited footage of this video. Actually the first few ones in the video were the idea behind this gimmick. That is to backspin and move the racket very fast and contact which results in reactionary topspin and to convert this into a normal serve. I added a slow motion footage after 0:48 which could highlight what I am blabbering.

Yeah, I wpuld like to surprise my opponent just for some fun, He would think why the **** he is serving to the floor and the serve comes back?

Then I imagine what a genius I am and he slaps the ball on my face
