So now, those three bold humans did suceeded in launching the ball speed and fast like hell . And the Russian one is far superior of them all. Could you overtake Russian ? Don't hesitate to try, it is a funny trial anyway.

It is too pad there isn't high speed video so a better approximation of the time between bounces can be measured.
I have a 240 FPS video of the young Japanese player Sakai that did this years ago. From the time between bounces one can not only estimate the speed but also the Magnus effect and therefore the spin.

Poor, poor pimpsters. No chancе for them to play serving of the type. 🤧 Yes, Мr. Brokenball gets the things right. Tablе tennis is all about Magnus effect.

🔔NB. the word "pimpster" in connotation to table tennis, two part combination 'pimps + ster ' is to denote those geeky guys stuck permanently to long pimps only.

Just by listening to the sound of the first and second bounce, it sounds like Lind's serve is way faster than the Russian dude's serve.
Yes, it is as fast as Asuka Sakai's version. Also he disguises it like he's about to do a tomahawk serve! Does anyone have a video where Anders Lind aces someone with this? That would be good to watch!

The pimpsters can serve the ball with their FH rubber and then twiddle so then the pips are on the BH.

It is about the Magnus effect. What is the time between bounces without spin/Magnus effect? Can anybody calculate that? If you can then how does that compare to the time between bounces the Sakai serve or any of the other superfast serves.

I recall seeing it once someone... this year.
I don't recall it was an ace, but it was so fast that the return was terrible and showed that the opponent was not ready
