As a new but mature player I have learned a number of different serves and now use a range of pendulum, hook and backhand serves. However, my most successful surprise serve I developed myself when I first started. Now I play in local league matches and often win easy points using this serve but...
Hi guys, i have one question:
How do you return a reverse pendulum serve with backspin?
Normally i return it with my bh to the opponents bh (sometimes to the fh, to not give always the same return). But this is a defensive return, i'd like to attack it sometimes. I feel comfortable to return the...
Hi, are there any good videos that show Ma Lin's serving form and mechanics?
Most of the slow motion analysis videos only show his 'ghost-serve', and I'm wondering if there are any other resources I could refer to for improving my serves as a penholder.
Any other resources for a penhold serve...
I'm not disputing the fault call. I'm just asking for some clarification, as the announcer wasn't 100% sure what the fault call was for:

I noticed that one of my weak points is receiving a short right sidespin/topspin backhand serve short to my forehand. The serve is usually right sidespin with varying amount of topspin and from a right handed player. For me the easiest options so far has been to either go with the spin and get a...
I am a relatively new player, a lower intermediate (USATT rating about 1000). For my level, I have fairly good technique, and fairly good serves—I get decent spin, and can vary the spin and placement somewhat with FH pendulum and BH serves. I now need to develop my match play. “Develop your...
Hey guys,
For those of you who haven't seen the new technology via the ITTF we are now able to see the serving ball placement of players, similar to that you find in tennis. In the image you can see Ma Long's service placement during the 5th set against Tomokazu Harimoto at the recent China...
Hey everyone! The heavy backspin serve that spins back to the net is one that players often want to learn and you may have heard called the ghost serve. This serve can help you understand the process of creating spin on all your other serves too so is fantastic to learn and understand! We've...
Hey, guys can anyone give me useful links or advice to improve my reverse pendulum backspin serve. can you also tell how to ad topspin in my serve.
Please help me.
Hey guys,
Here at the TableTennisDaily Academy we’re very excited to announce that we have just released a new serving master class video series, with Swedish international player Par Gerell! Par is widely thought of as one of the best servers in the world and has a highest world ranking of 27...
Here is a vid of YNG showing a city Div 1 player (who acts like he receives 5 levels below his level) (You would know if you see his youtube channel) Tak-Kyu.
Subs are in Korean, but YNG is showing enough that a translation is not really needed.
In a recent game I was not quite ready to receive a serve when
the ball was served to me. I made no attempt whatsoever to
swipe at the ball with my bat (which was in my right hand). The ball
actually was travelling directly at my left hand and I instinctively
just caught it. The player doing...
Guys can you please tell me how to efficiently brush the ball during a pendulum serve. When I serve it feels more like that I am hitting the ball and not brushing it. I know brushing is essential for maximum spin but I just can't do it properly. I hope you all will help me overcome my problem.:):)
Hey can you please tell me how to grip my racket during a normal pendulum serve. I am watched many videos and I am seen different methods. Some tell to curl my middle,ring and pinkie finger but in the channel tomorrow table tennis he tells to keep the middle and the ring finger on the side of...
Hey everyone. can you please tell me where to contact my racket to the ball more maximum spin. can you also tell me how to have more force on my serve for most of my serve land in the net. (I am a left handed table tennis player)
