There are many variables in competition, of course. What I’m trying to convey here, is by training with a specific outcome in mind with a challenge attached to it, allows you to build confidence and understanding of the serves. A mental block for people trying to add new serves into their game is very often, a lack of confidence and trust that they can execute these serves. This is exactly how you start to build confidence with these skills. There are many other building block to this process but this is absolutely a crucial one.
@@TheTableTennisServiceGuy Couldn't agree more but it takes years of consistent practice and a lot of match play to control the mind scatter with the different moves/fakes etc...I lose more points with my exotic services especially under pressure 1800-2000 level...I have been practicing my serves 5-6 days a week 1-3hrs. at a time after my regular training I am finding myself winning more points with basic backhand serves and a forehand shovel mainly because of my body is already facing the table...
For some, yes. For others (frustratingly), no. Some people pick these things up very quickly. Awareness and understanding of what’s winning you points or creating opportunities, is very key too. So, it’s great that you’re showing that level of awareness. You can still use these challenges or versions of them, to enhance the more simplified versions of your serve that you’re talking about too. They’re not only for complex serve. For example, how many simple no spin serves can you make (with 2 bounces) in a row, within 5 minutes.
@@TheTableTennisServiceGuy I hear you 100% as I was in this mind set 5 years ago when I started to concentrate harder on my serves and the different versions especially talking about the "pendulum" hi-toss special...the double thinking is killing me every step of the serve requires precision or the serves sucks...and you are right some people do pick it up quickly just like a loop or backhand shot everybody has a special thing they can do that screws the opponent up you know more about that than I do for sure!
I already wrote that I am Ukrainian, play in a German club and love TT very much. Craig, I would really like to play with you. Please come to our club in Germany, but I will not allow anyone to play with you, only with me😂. I am a woman but I like to play with men more than with women. Men play a more aggressive style, masculine. It is more interesting and active to play with men. Probably in a past life I was also a man with a beautiful beard like yours:)) Promise that you will come to the club in Germany to play with me?? Do you know any German TT players?
Do tutorial on kicker serve and all variations that you would use in a match
Madam, use a please.

Doing them in competition is completely different everybody has a different return I'm finding basic is better.
