serve

I've been reading that BH dominant players use the reverse pendulum and that FH dominant players use the pendulum however it's not making sense. It's obvious when you watch Zike, FZD and ML that it's true. But...when you pendulum serve with back sidespin, it's common for your opponent to easily...

Helloooooo, Here's a short video I took last night of me and my team mate doing a serve and receive drill....its not exactly game intensity as I was just back from a longish injury break, but would love feedback on anything I could work on. The drill was theoretically push returns off short...

May the Spin Be With You.

Hello everyone, hope you all are good. Today I want to talk about serve. When I am talking about my serve, every one just say, "Your serve is so easy to read and receive. You can't deceive your opponent with your action, it's so simple." Now my question is how to make deception in serve? Please...

For me it's Ma Long's reverse pendulum. He used it quite a bit in this game

I wish I could do or at very least, know how to do Liam's serve at 4:13 in the video in the link below... It would be greately appreciated if anyone could kindly give me some tips... Thanks in advance.

When I serve my backspin, after it goes onto the opponents side of the table, the ball will not travel back towards the net (see below for Mizutani serve) and even when it goes onto the floor I notice the ball doesn't really travel back in my direction at all. So i'm wondering, is it important...

currently my standard backspin serve is quite heavy in sidespin but not as much in backspin, maybe 75% side and 25% back from what I notice. I brush down the backside of the ball, at the 4 o'clock position, but still lots of side and barely any backspin. I can do a heavy pure backspin serve...

Hi Pls see the illustration, when my opponent serve spinning ball to my side, the ball usually will land on the table and then "swing" to right side (green color). When is the best timing to hit the ball (upon bounce up?) if i want to attack back?

Look at Ma Long's special serve! You will need to see the slow motion to see the special contact! Imagine doing this in an Olympic final! :)

So, the last time i saw the Video posted by someone here in TTD throttled my insecurometer over the maximum limit and its time to get back into the field to test the alternative hypothesis. Feel free to comment, I got better ones later in the practice here is the unedited version. I get...

ITTF Commentator Adam Bobrow took on the world's fastest serve in the training hall of the Qatar Open this week!! Asuka Sakai's with the worlds fastest serve demonstrates how fast his serve really is in his first attempt! WATCH THIS! Here's a breakdown of the service in action via ttedge...

Hi everyone, the recent competition on the Stiga Carbonado Blade provided me an opportunity to observe and Study how Par Gerell does his serve. In this video, I have tried to explain one way of how reverse side-topspin and backspin serves work with similar motion I believe Par has many ways to...

At the recent 2016 Swedish Open Dan from TableTennisDaily took on STIGA's Par Gerell in a challenge match! Par is one of the best servers in the world with a career high world ranking (November 2016) of 27! I challenged Par to see how many serves I could return out of 10! To win the signed...

A lot of pro players have been submitting videos online of their ghost serves recently. Yesterday Dimitrij Ovtcharov posted a new service video on his Instagram account doing an insane tomahawk backspin serve. Check this out! <blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned...

Cricketer Cool Shahid Afridi pulls off some impressive, casual serves. Check it out:

Sometimes in my free time I like to keep the fun aspects of table tennis alive and give myself a challenge. Yesterday the challenge was to hit a quarter (25c) with a long serve.

Gang, I have a question about how the top pros get ready to ready to receive serve. Many seem to crouch way down to almost table level and appear to be staring at the server. I previously thought this was to get a better view of the ball to read spin. But, immediately after the ball has been...
