Bro, Duda just knocked out top seeds Lin and Liang, Jesus man, your coaching does absolute wonders. His serves were so good and liang especially missed soo many half-long reverse pendulums not because he was bad but just because Duda’s serves were so good!
Liang is old player , and Lin gaoyuan is still not the core player for China. Probably Lin shidong and Xinagpeng will be the main players for China .of course Wang chuqing is 'S' for China
Its crazy how fast Duda can implement your coaching into his serves. Top level player and top level coach. Edit: I think the serves worked quite well against Lin Gaoyuan. Congrats!
@@TheTableTennisServiceGuy well you seem to laugh a bit about it, but did you talk to Benne since then and did he say, your coaching caused his latest success?
Not a single hidden or otherwise illegal serve - so great to see :D This is what will ensure the integrity of the game and illiminate many discussions on service rules.
I don't like this argumentation. It's like saying some people not committing crimes prevents crimes. IMO rules must be constructed in a way that they can be controlled, and then they must be forced. Rules that can't be controlled and forced are useless and should be abolished.
@@NoSpeechForTheDumb I think my comment is based on the current state of the relationship between the service rules and the way umpires enforce them. Certainly, it would be optimal to introduce VAR technologies or extra umpires like line judges in tennis and badminton. But it doesn't seem to be possible in TT for purely financial reasons. I am going on a Level 1 Umpire course in two weeks to learn more, and I don't know what ITTF's attitude is towards this, but to me it certainly seems like the common umpire is neither strict nor consistent enough. And as long as the umpires 'allow' for illegal serves, players will continue using them. If, however, the service rules were enforced to a greater extent, players would obviously stop practicing illegal serves. I guess the reason the rules were changed years ago, was because the game became ruined by the serves (correct me if I'm wrong). Points ought to be won (in my opinion) by skill and tactical understanding during rallies, and not due to illegal serves. And that's why I wrote, that I believe that serving legally helps the integrity of the game. In a perfect world, sure, I could agree that no rules that cannot objectively be enforced should be applied. But we don't live in such a world, and in practice we have to do something - hence the rules we have now. What are the viable alternatives? Neither VAR nor extra umpires are going to be implemented in national and 'low level' international competitions. Maybe at selected finals. Should we then go back to the old rules? I think that would ruin the game.
@@NonfoX please explain: Why is table tennis the ONLY racket sport which is considered "ruined" (by its own practicioners!) just because the service got better over time? In badminton and especially tennis, people show a completely different mindset. In those sports, a strong service is admired. A direct point on the service is called an "ace" and people applaud it specifically. I NEVER EVER heard tennis players lamenting about how fast or short their rallies were. Only table tennis players do this, all the time. Why?
@@NoSpeechForTheDumb I never said anything about TT being the only racket sport which is considered ruined based on the services. And I only express my own personal view. I may not have been clear. I distinguish between legal and illegal services. Of course the TT services have changed significantly over time. And I think the services are what makes the sport so great. But the top players that do illegal serves, are doing it purposefully! They know exactly what they are doing - they are going to the edge and beyond. This kind of mentallity is what I dislike. And it is only possible - as I said before - becuase the rules are not enforced properly. I also admire a great, technical serve - but why make it illegal? Obviously to get an unfair advantage. And that's what all the fuzz is about. I have no respect for players abusing the serve in that way - which is why I applauded Duda in this video. I'm just an amateur player, but his serves seem really difficult, and everything is visible and according to the rules.
@@NonfoX the way you use the terms "legal" and "illegal" gives me the impression that you entirely missed my point. In my opinion the major issue with "modern" table tennis is that it is not possible anymore to determine if a service obeys the rules, because the lawmakers established rules which are impossible to judge. This defective state of the system won't change if people "behave well" out of their own moral code. It's rather the opposite: The more people act "good", the more the few "evildoers" benefit because they have less "evil" competition. I leave it to your imagination what would be the real way out of this situation.
Great video Craig, look’s like you both are having a good quality practice time 👍🏻, looking forward to watch Benedikt’s service in the next game on the TV 🙂
Fantastic lesson and great to watch! I train a lot with your vids as guidance. And it helps me a lot. All the small changes in my upper and down motions are getting more and more difficult to judge for my opponents. Thank you very much sir.
Wow, so cool to see you and a top professional like Duda talking about aspects of different serves! 👏🙌 If possible, could you write out the subtitles when Benedikt is speaking? Sometimes I couldn't quite catch what he was saying.
@@TheTableTennisServiceGuy Just watched Duda vs Ecseki at ETTU. Being aware of what went into his training gave me quite the smirk when I saw Ecseki struggling with some of Dudas serves ^^
It's quite obvious he implemented these tips to his serves in his latest successful matches. He played incredibly well but he also earned a lot of serve direct points and 3rd ball points due to bad opponent's receives
With Duda doing so well after your coaching, I wonder who your next high profile client will be? As an American and a fan of hers, I hope it’s Lily Zhang.
Duda is very capable player, he was close to winning EuroChampionship 2024. I think he should try other top rubbers. Alex has no problems with the quality of top spin shots generated by Duda.
My former coach used to play frequently against Duda when he was a second league player. My coach has really good services which worked really well against Duda until a certain point. At that point hesaif Duda still has no clou about the spin, but he just flips through it.
Hey Craig, i love the serve game, but i did not get why you serve, what looks to me, like a random number of times each? Can you explain please? Thanks for great videos!!
It’s 5 serves each. We got it wrong sometimes (and I still didn’t win). Not so easy to keep track of everything at once. I would suggest have a match scoreboard to keep track of the points and then it’s much easier to count the 5 serves.
If you make a video like that, which i highly support anyways, both for me as a player and as a coach, try to make a good audio. I want to understand Bennes thought process aswell as your coaching. Thats pretty hard here, since i cant hear him talking at all Oh and btw: does anybody of you guys have a tipp on where to start practicing deception for my serves. I mostly dont do it. The only variant i know, is to make a fake move before contact of ball/ show a othet direction and then come back for the first thing. Works just with lower level players. For stuff like this here, im really thankful on tipps where to start. My goto serves are pendulum side- under/ backhand serve with variations/ fast long down the line and sometimes i mix in reverse pendulum with top- side to short forrhand. Any Tipps?
I fully agree. Still learning a developing my TH-cam skills. I didn’t know how I was going to showcase this. I had it more in mind to do some voiceover stuff but it didn’t work out that way. I turned the volume up on his thoughts and comments but that was the best I could do. It was a bit of an after thought. With deception, I would start with a serve and spin that feels comfortable. Then try the opposite spin and by mindful of the finishing point of the original serve. Record it from the receivers point of view, then you can start to make specific changes from what you’re seeing.
@@TheTableTennisServiceGuy so my most confortable is standart backhand serve. I can freely vary spin and placement on that. Most commonly i do side- and backspin to the short forehand, so i get a receive onto my forehand side (strong side). Opposite would now be top- and sidespin? Then trying to make it look the same? Is that what you're saying? I think its hard, because i have to lift the should/ ellbow for topspin/ kick. I could try to lift it after the motion when doing underspin aswell. Maybe i'll try that some times. Then mixing up spins and make the aftermotion the same? I think thats your take on that according to the video, right?
Most of the time yes. However, with the backhand serve, it tends to be much easier to disguise the backspin as topspin. As the elbow needs to finish higher for topspin, it’s harder to conceal it.
Jesus Christ loves you and died for your sins, everyone sins and deserves hell but Jesus (God) died for our sins paying the price of them, Believe that and you will be Saved
Duda was beaten in straight games ( 4-0)8 in the European Championship final 2024 by Alexi Lebrun. Alexi is the new European Table Tennis Champion. The last game ( 4th game) was 10-1 in favour of Alexi who completely decimated Doda. Alexi avenged his brother! You really think the training worked? Think again!
That sounds awful and not very respectful to anybody here. Do you have any idea of how much Benedict’s service game has improved since he went for it? Have you seen his games at the Euro to tell if his serves were successful? Maybe Alexis didn’t have to much trouble returning the serves, but maybe Alexis is an exceptional good receiver. According to you everyone should give up any sort of training that would get him into a European-Final but coming in second. Can’t tell you how much I personally feel offended by your well thought after comment.
Most ridiculous comment i've ever read and I read many 😂 just shows what a moron you are honestly. To disregard the wins against Felix and Dima and only concentrate on the final 🤦
Duda just beat top seed Felix Lebrun in the quarterfinals of the European Championship. Looks like your coaching worked...
He played amazingly well!
Jesus Christ loves you and died for your sins, everyone sins and deserves hell but Jesus (God) died for our sins paying the price of them, Believe that and you will be Saved
now he beats Lin Gaoyuan. Benedikt is on fire actually
And then proceeds to lose against Alexis in the finals. So whats your point exactly?
@@Ufkatualeand Liang Jinkung
Very interesting to see how a world class player takes notice of your advice and tries to adopt accordingly. Thanks!
Very, very open to learning and new ideas. He has a very progressional approach to the game and his development.
Jesus Christ loves you and died for your sins, everyone sins and deserves hell but Jesus (God) died for our sins paying the price of them, Believe that and you will be Saved

I've been watching Benedikt play in the recent WTT events, and his performance has improved considerably. Props to you Craig.
Hey, thanks. He’s doing incredibly well at the moment.
Its crazy how fast Duda can implement your coaching into his serves. Top level player and top level coach.
Edit: I think the serves worked quite well against Lin Gaoyuan. Congrats!
He served incredibly well against LGY! Unreal!
Duda improved so much in such a short period of time, amazing coach.
😁
@@TheTableTennisServiceGuy well you seem to laugh a bit about it, but did you talk to Benne since then and did he say, your coaching caused his latest success?
Not too sure what you mean by, ‘you seem to laugh about it’? We’ve been working together on his service game for 10 months now.
@@TheTableTennisServiceGuy because you reacted with a wide grin smilie. And 7/33 points of Benne against LJK were direct service points.
@@IgneelS11 7 direct point is crazy!!!
This is some sort of a Molecular Biology of Table tennis. Wonderful! Nice to see the two chefs cooking up something really nice!
Haha 😂 It was a fun session and great to understand how he works, I’m a little more detail
Great serve training video! Thank you Craig, greetings from Indonesia!
great idea of serve game. i will try this tonight. benne play like a pro. learn like a pro. great teacher too.
Yeah, a really good one that focuses on the serving detail. There’s a level of subjectivity and honesty with the high / long returns needed. Enjoy.
Try what.. The video ist not really helpful.. Can't hear anything useful

That serve down the line is stunning.
Yourr coaching put Benne to the top :O

Thank you. He’s a pleasure to work with, I hope I’ve had a positive impact.

It's quite obvious he implemented these tips to his serves in his latest successful matches. He played incredibly well but he also earned a lot of serve direct points and 3rd ball points due to bad opponent's receives
I agree, he played so incredibly well. The early backhands were devastating but serving was also on point 👌
so crazy serves from duda^^
Some awesome serves right
One little tip for the video, change the white screens to more eye friendly darker backgrounds. the white screens are still burning in my eyes 😎
Changed this on the latest video 👌
Lovely video
Do a tutorial about the kicker serve and variations
crazy content, love from Rome
👌
Watching Duda play LJK live right now and Duda's serves working out really well for him. 2-0 up at the moment
And he won the match with a direct point on the serve 😮
Incredible!

That’d be cool. I do follow her on Insta but sadly she doesn’t follow me back, so I doubt that’ll happen 😞
Felix Lebrun is GEIL!! He is even better than China players, but he is still hard with fanzhengdong and wangchuqing
very nice video, thanks. Could you film the training hall and the city streets ?
This was filmed a little while ago
Duda is very capable player, he was close to winning EuroChampionship 2024.
I think he should try other top rubbers. Alex has no problems with the quality of top spin shots generated by Duda.
The quality of the video and sound is amazing, which camera are u using?
iPhone 14 Plus with a Bluetooth microphone. I plan to upgrade the mic at some point.
