fastest serve

[riemsesy]

there are a number of videos on the internet showing "The Worlds Fastest serve"
It's executed on the forehand side of body, with the backhandside of the blade.

Who has learned this serve succesfully? And is it practical during a game?

yeah great.. but have you trained this serve yourself?

I tried it in practice, key was to start slow and get the timing. I found it really hard and reckon I must only have a 15-20% success in getting it in. Only tried it in a few times in a match when I was up with a big enough lead to test it out, I did win the point in the match but I think it was the shock of serve action rather than the speed that helped win the point. It's a bit of fun but I won't be trying to perfect it.

great to hear that Adam

Agree ! 😁
I also trained this serve and then changed it to using the FH and got virtually the same speed out of that.
There is no sense in trying to use it unless one can do it with great speed because after all it is a topspin serve and can be smashed right back into your face 🤣

If someone would serve like this I would simply wait for the serve as far behind the table as Torben Wosik does https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torben_Wosik

Yes, you could do that if you could anticipated it and see it coming 😁 Have another look at this:

Maybe too busy to play TT, what after the sex-change and music career. (just kidding)

Crazy, I remember that he actually destroyed Samsonov in a match, and then he just disappears?!
