Top 10 servers

MY top 10 list of servers in table tennis

Classic. But they are all blocking servers you can't use anymore.

Jan-ove Waldner

I like reverse pendulum...but it's hard to do it..

Werner Schlager may be a good server, But maybe not THAT good I service returns :P

I think you should split modern players from the older ones. Waldner was and still is great server, but those days you could hide the ball and the racket, so it was easier to cheat your opponent.
From modern players top 5 in my opinion:
Jun Mizutani
Ma Lin
Kenta Matsudaira
Xu Xin
Dimitrij Ovtcharov

I would agree with your point and list

Best servers are Ma Lin and Jan-Ove Waldner, before a few years , when you must not play a serve in which your opponent sees the ball all time, many players had good serves, but now there a only a few players with very very good serves, in which you cannot see which spin is inside.

nice serves!

Very good serve!!

I only agree on Ma Lin and Kenta with you that they are one of the best modern servers, because Ovtcharov has only one service variation (his backhand service) which is tough to read, Xu Xin hides his service too often, and Jun did copy his service from Ma Lin thats why he is not top five.
My list of the top 5 modern servers:
J.O. Waldner
Ma Lin
Werner Schlager
Kenta Matsudaira
Michael Maze

"Old school" top 5:
J.O.Waldner
Liu Guoliang
Stellan Bengtsson
Zoran Primorac
Jean Philippe Gatien

I think Waldner was the best in my opinion.

werner and kenta are great entertainers

I like Xu Xin!

Ma Lin serve well~.~

Thanks for sharing , vote Ma Lin's , one of the killer serve

My all time top 3 must be Waldner, Schlager and Ma Lin.
