Bravo! Finally the missing piece! The rocking step.
Without the rock it is hard to get enough power to get the ball over the net without using forearm. That is why so many people use their arm or have little spin on the serve. Amazing only you picked up on this in all the videos done on this serve.
After you became a team leader of joola infinity robot I discovered this. Now I am you fan😁 Thank you
Awesome! Welcome 😁
thank you! I try to learn the reverse pendulum right now. I guess it's helpful to learn one step before: The brushing of the ball with the unused, new motion.
But I will try the rocking motion at the beginning and I will look out for a nice box between my arm and my bat.
Looking forward to seeing your next video!
You go into so much detail, I’ve been learning off TH-cam for months and just learned more in this one video
Thanks for that feedback! Appreciated
Very well explained Matt...Thanks...
Best tutorial on this serve
Thanks man, appreciate that! :)
Great tutorial !!
Excellent tutorial on the reverse pendulum serve, one of the best, if not THE best on TH-cam (and I’ve watched them all!). Thanks Matt.
That's some high end praise! I'll take that 😁😁
That is absolutely fantastic Matt. Absolutely blindingly clear. Thanks
Thanks! Yes the aim of my videos is to try and get in all the details so nothing is missed :D
Great tutorial. Greatings from Belgium.
Excellent explanation coach... thnx a lot...
the fact that you are left handed makes it a lot easier for me to understand and follow. great content
Lefties for life! :D Thanks!
Very clear explanations and nicely demonstrated. Great work, Matt!
Thanks! Another one coming out in a bit!
Very clearly. Definetely can learn form this. good job.
Thanks! Glad it's helpful :)
Inspiring video. Best breakdown on TH-cam so far imo. And I have watched a lot. Just ordered 72 balls to practise in the garden. Many thanks
Thanks Charles, hope the weather stays nice for it 😁
Thank you! Very good explanation of this difficult serve!
Glad you found it useful! :)
Great tutorial , many thanks
Greatings from Indonesia
Thanks to you too :)
thank you for explain,really clear.
Glad it makes sense to you, definitely trying to go for longer videos - not everyone likes them, but I feel there is a big gap on youtube for this kind of thing
Kia ora! Awesome quality video Matt. you are looking healthy and strong! 💪
Thanks buddy, I'm doing ok - trying to fill as much time as I can while I'm at home by myself!
and now try to hit the ball nearly on edge to add more momentum and rotation. then try contact the ball more to handle to do a nonspin serve... Then try to use a little bit more elbow to achieve even more whipping movement . Then you are there with crazy spin serve ....keep them coming .
This is a pretty nice tutorial and I like how it's broken down. The key thing for me was the instruction on how to hold the paddle. You didn't go over much but you said 1 key detail: make sure the handle can get over the wrist. For me this has always been a challenge of what I'm trying to do with the wrist and you explained it very simply and it really helped. I'm much closer to having this serve now with this tutorial.
Love your youtube name handle haha glad it was helpful!
Hi, Really good video, you are incredibly good at teaching. Hope I can see more and new videos of you. Good luck!
Thanks Mano, appreciate the kind words!
Excellent tutorial. I've been playing for 20 years at clubs and have a reverse pendulum serve. I find that I have difficulty serving long and fast. Short serves are easier but I can not generate enough speed for it to go longer like timo boll who is my favorite. Unless I change to a faster and heavier setup. Thanks.
🙏🙏🙏
A perfact one!
Hi Matt, really enjoyed your videos. very thorough. Please can you include a second part of spin variation for the reverse pendulum serves. Also can you do a summary video for deceptions and most effective serves. Maybe also you can tie it with a third ball attack/ opener video?
What would you want included in a second part for spin variation on pendulum serves?
MHTableTennis
Maybe topspin, backspin and side spin I.e. where to hit the ball and disguise the spin with deception 😊
@@mrmansoorkhan1985 oh I did that already :) you can find it on my channel
What a great video, thanks for explaining the leaning motion, never thought of that before.
I struggle to understand how to put topspin on both normal pendulum, reverse pendulum and backhand pendulum - If you could make a video explaining how to impart the topspin , I would be so grateful. Thanks!
I finally have learned to do topspin on normal pendulum, but I end up contacting the ball on the back of the ball, and not the side, which makes it much easier to see.
I have one in mind soon that will hopefully help with that sure!

Hi, great tutorial, thank you very much!
Could you please add some advice on where the ball should lend on your half of the table to make the serve more effective?
Should it be close to the edge, in the middle, 2/3, close to the net?
Depends on length, if you are serving short then it's always good to try and get the first bounce closer to the net on your side :)
Gerat.very usefuk.thanks
Nice dude. Subscribed. :)
Thanks Jerred! :)
Good Video
Great break down of the technique. I start to follow your instruction. Can I send you my video once I think I nearly get the basic of this serve? You can give my some feedback. Where can I email to?

v good
Thanks. This is one way to do it, but this method kinda makes it so that you have to contact the ball slightly below, and not fully on the side like fan zhendong does it. I just slightly rotate into the ball and use my arm as a whip ending with my hand snapping at the contact with the ball. I am not able to do it very consistently yet though, but my fast hand movement confuses my opponents still. Watch matches on my channel and you might catch how I do it.
The idea is to simplify it as much as possible so people can learn and develop an action from scratch in 3 steps, this is more similar to someone like Timo who has a much more compact and simplified action - it’s easier to learn.
I spent three weeks inside closed training with the Chinese National Team so I’m fairly familiar with Fan Zhendong and his serves lol
is the reverse pendulum an important serve to have in one's arsenal (that's better in some ways than a normal pendulum?) or is it a niche serve used mostly by top players only? (if so, why?). i'm wondering because it seems like such a difficult serve to get good at w/ odd wrist mechanics. is it really that great of a serve?
I think it’s good to have if you want a higher level of serve, I find it’s harder to read than normal pendulum serves and it’s also good to have serves which move in opposite directions. If one player receives pendulum serves better then you can switch to reverse. In terms of direction I would favour this significantly over a backhand serve which is usually more simple. It's challenging to develop but the payoff can be excellent.
What blade and rubbers are you using?
Sorry I have some issue with notifications it seems! I'm using joola rosskopf emotion classic and rhyzher50 pro both sides
Are you allowed to toss the ball towards your body?
according to the ITTF rules the ball toss has to be angled 'close to vertical' so in that sense no you can't throw towards your body
@@MHTableTennis okay thanks, so there is some "interpretationsspielraum" for it.
@@dan43544911 yes, if you look at Ovtcharov's tomohawk serve ball toss it goes about half a table width across, but because the toss is so high it is allowed - because the angle is still 'near-vertical'
Why using left hand ?
Because I'm left handed...lol
Useful tutorial. Thanks.
Maybe hide the distracting furniture on side and back for future vids.
I'll try. I don't have too much space, literally hauled a table out and moved half my furniture so I could set it up while I'm stuck at home
@@MHTableTennis :) Even an old sheet and some duct tape will do it!
@@UTubeIsStillEvil you're not wrong. I'll see what I can come up with, either that or I'll switch some camera angles or zoom in
there is so much excess talking in all your videos.
It would be excess if there was no point to it. I'm explaining things that I think are important so people can understand. There are plenty of good videos out there with less explanation already, just trying to make more lesson style tutorials for the people who prefer it this way.
@@MHTableTennis It's ok with your talk. Good explanations.
