Great job!! I've seen a number of videos on the hook serve and this one does the best job of explaining (in just 5 minutes!) exactly how to generate backspin and top spin with the same bat angle...
Nice video. The explanation of the philosophy of not going for a ton of topspin, but rather fooling the opponent was very helpful clarification, and the contact point diagram was also beneficial. Keep it up!
You can only fool the opponent if he is at the level where he's trying to read the spin and gets it wrong. Consider that lower level players...say 1600 players....do not even try to read spin. So the server must quickly recognize if the receiver is good against top spin or underspin and use that knowledge in which serve he concentrates on. I play guys who cannot read spin and simply play top spin better than under. So, I give them a heavy dose of under. When they eventually realize they are not handling the underspin well and try to raise the return, I then throw in topspin, and they push really high or long. Just my experience. I try to fool, like 2000 level players who read spin
I like the way you explain the movement. Your tone is just right , soft but with power. Keep them coming. I know a huy that did very well this serve , what happened that now he lost the twist ?
when you are unsure, you can chop the ball in his highest point aiming for the middle. this may lack of quality but better this than an unforced error.
Hi there! Thanks for video. However, please keep in mind the official table tennis rule for serving "The server shall then project the ball near vertically upwards, without imparting spin, so that it rises at least 16cm after leaving the palm of the free hand and then falls without touching anything before being struck." At 4:31 This is obviously not "near vertically". So long.
My experience is that lower level players only get beaten with the backspin if they are attacking players and attack the serve. It's easier for them to hit topspin. If its a defensive player who pushes, they push the backspin over but have trouble with the topspin which they push high or off the edge of the table. So a quick assessment needs to be made of the type of player receiving the serve. But this is true for every type of serve. Right???
Your technical aspects are good. But, while making a tutorial videos you guys need to be very careful on serving rules, since everyone watching here to learn something and it needs to be perfect. The toss should be vertical and your body and racquet need to motion towards the ball.
This one really is difficult to return. Especially if it is short. If your opponent serves it long and you are not sure about the spin, I would recommend just attacking the ball. It is generally better than pushing it.
You toss the ball up past half the table and hit the ball over the end of the table. An umpire could easily call all those serves as illegal. My advice would be to practice the toss so that it is started less far away from the contact point. It wont feel good to go to a match knowing that any umpire might reject your serves. The arc in the tosses in this video are not 'vertical or close to vertical'.
Wybacz ale nie mam pojęcia jak to robić. W filmu niestety to nie wynika. Opowiadasz o tym ale ja nie widzę różnicy w ruchu (punkt dla Cienie) a przy nauce to nie ma sensu. Słabo uczysz.

Thank youu
Great video! High quality and easy to understand. Thank you!
Great demonstrations and explanations! Please upload more videos teaching serves and other table tennis skills please. Thanks very much!
amazing video, especially with the slow motion demonstrations.
Keep it up brother keep going we need more of that
Thanks! Especially the concept of generating topspin by just letting the ball drop on the bat is something that has eluded me before

Its great tutorial...thanks
Amazing tutorial
Thank you, I am happy you liked it 👍
what we really need are videos on how to return a good hook serve.
OK, noted. Maybe I will cover the way to do that in the future 💪
when you are unsure, you can chop the ball in his highest point aiming for the middle. this may lack of quality but better this than an unforced error.
This video is great! Can you do another one whit the others effects oh the hook serve? Like side spin or anothers efects if you know ?
Great teaching video
Nice video, maybe Upload more often
nice video and attitude! keep it up 🙏
Good job
For the next content, please add more videos on how to serve and smash heavy backspin balls also how return to service. Tq👍

very very nice!!!!

The ball is clearly hidden by the shoulder
Exactly. Serve is illegal
Easy to watch, but hard to do.. hehe..
Perfect tutorial to learn to f... the rules 😁. Could be just a bit better for hiding.
Illegal serve as throwing into body. But otherwise great video!
Sometimes it slips away 🤐. Thank you
❤❤❤❤❤
i have hard times doing it short.
i try to make the ball bounce low close to the net but a lot of time the serve is still long
I can understand. This serve uses the normal grip, so it is harder to control the length of the serve compared to the pendulum serve.
Do you know how to do it on penhold grip 😮
Hmmmm, I think usually people do it with the reverse penhold grip. Perhaps you could take inspiration from Felix Lebrun or Xu Xin.
One of my major current problems is returning this serve. I think.
This one really is difficult to return. Especially if it is short. If your opponent serves it long and you are not sure about the spin, I would recommend just attacking the ball. It is generally better than pushing it.
toss it higher so it would look more vertical 🎉
The serve is illegal. The angle of the toss is far more than 20°
Tossing is so far away from being vertical. Proper referee will never confirm this serve
Thanks for your video
TOSS IS NOT STRAIGHT
This is illegal as the ball can't be seen by the opponent.
You toss the ball up past half the table and hit the ball over the end of the table. An umpire could easily call all those serves as illegal. My advice would be to practice the toss so that it is started less far away from the contact point.
It wont feel good to go to a match knowing that any umpire might reject your serves. The arc in the tosses in this video are not 'vertical or close to vertical'.
illegal serve, you're throwing the ball at yourself at 30 degree angle, toss has to be almost vertical.
ur service is illegal. ball isnt vertical and also hidden by your shoulder.
Not being thrown from the palm of the hand either 😂
Illegal serve.. ball toss is not vertical .also its hidden..

Personally this video taught me quite a lot, maybe you just need to try a bit harder before accusing someone of being bad.
