Priceless... Any videos on Ma Long's service?

no would really like to see the serve

 

[YosuaYosan]

Yea I noticed when I watched those serves I can't really figure out wether he is giving backspin or side-topsin. But Joo won't mind and just use his pips

Ahaha as a darksider I'm still able to tell what spin is on the serve

Really good videos thanks!

Dimitri has a really good serve. It's just a back/side serve but the way he does it is really special.

I was doing the same. I was trying to understand if they where side-topspin or side-backspin and than check my guess with the actions of the returning player. The percentage of the correct guess is very low :-(. But it is interesting to see how also they return, my feeling is that they do a lot of guessing but they have enough ball feeling to not miss returns even if their guess is not 100% accurate.

Well if you are doubting between topspin or backspin, you can try a sidespin receive, so your shot won't be affected by the top/backspin as much.

Great stuff. Really useful. Even at this speed it's hard to recognise the spin.

Great videos,thanks!

Still if you guess it wrong you're not going to be able to return it....

what i really like, are zhang jikes services. now i know, why the players have so much problem with this. if you look closely, you can see, that it isnt the same service. everytime he changes the angel and spin. must be hard to see it in normal speed.

Exactly! I'm going to copy his serving style soon... nice use of the whole body's energy in the serve.

watch my service in the "my around the net shot" thread thats how i copied his service. now i see, i do a service, but hell its not zhang jikes

I like chuang's service motion, compact and deceptive. I'm gonna try copy that

Yours look more like Schlager's serve haha. Big smooth fast motion, i can see that it is really really spinny. Do you have any tips in practising the reverse serve? I can't seem to get the contact right....

 

[UpSideDownCarl]

You can learn a lot from these videos. A lot. They are a great resource. I like how compact and short the motion of Zhang Jike's serves are. I also like how quick that snap is that he uses to spin the ball. Very efficient. And how he keeps changing angles. Every time he contacts the ball it is a little bit different.

 

[ziggy]

ignoring the spin and placement for a moment, what they are all doing is focussing on the serve fully, then feet bounce to the ready position. Very timely for me this; working hard on the basics makes everthing else become so much easier. It's a pleasure to see this.

and a lot of them try to hide their bats behind their bodies, so that the opponent cant see, which angel they use

I noticed these the other day when I watched your Ma Long video! nice stuff
