EXPOSED Fastest Serve Ever Ultra Slow Motion

[saisarris]

i don't call this a serve its is a smash from serve position that its!!

[NocturnalCreatureOwl]

What rubber did he use to serve? Long pips or wad?

[MegaSnake1000]

hm i learned 2 things about serve...

1. you have to throw 6 in. high

2. you cannot have a cupped hand when tossing the ball.

either these he is playing by old rules (or these rules are old) or it was an illegal serve... idk plz respond...

[J0lt1]

@MegaSnake1000 It's illegal.

[MegaSnake1000]

@J0lt1 k thx

[zhangjike78]

FACILE



[tdwtFULLEPISODES]

slow mo is how fast i serve

[BablaStar23]

Difficulty Level: Asian

[grandkarate]

clearly it is an illegal serve, but still impressive!

[Ricksonkimura]

No, twicky, he hits it with the other side of the paddle.

[twicky2]

I think he hits it with the bottom of the racket. I thought It was backspin.

[95telera]

eso es falta de saque el bola no se separa 16 cm de la mano cuando la suelta

mano arriba quien piense lo mismo o se haya fijado

[tabletennisedge]

@rishicomplex Could because they are different shots. One in real time and one using an ultra slow motion camera.

[CasperJasper88]

From the front angle it looks like he makes contact with either the side or the bottom of the paddle. Can someone confirm?

[bp1square]

.Super fast. But is it legal to make contact with the edge? O.0

[lAmWatchingYou]

@bp1square

Yes it is.

[ikarljoseph]

@lAmWatchingYou I think he skims it with the bottom-if so it would be a classy serve-if it the side-which I dont think it is-you are meant to throw the ball 6inches from a flat palm though in the rules-but if its not legal it could be tweaked and used like a reverse,"ghost serves".

[philippingpong]

This is not a legal serve, the ball wasn't tossed high enough. If I toss the ball that low, I can serve as fast as he can. Of course, if I do that, most of the time, the ball will be into the net or out of bounce. So I think he probably serves like that many times until one time he makes it. I don't see any big deal of this serve. Even it's legal, the fastest serve should be in a real match, like in tennis. They only record the speed of serves in real match.

[lAmWatchingYou]

@philippingpong

You're right, I didn't go up many cms high after leaving his palm. I googled and read it needs to be 16 cm.

"So I think he probably serves like that many times until one time he makes it."

I don't know your skill level, but I disagree. If he's really a wonder kid, he should be able to get it right most of the time. Even I (a complete amateur) can make this quick serve with a decent success rate (using the normal side of the racket, that is).

[Kakashinoor]

That is despicable 

[thresholden]

This serve is too limited because it has to go corner to opposite corner. You could probably still get a couple of points off surprising people though.

[CJStinkers]

THIS IS FAKE! THE BACKGROUNDS ARE DIFFERENT FROM BOTH VIDEOS!

[8jonte]

@CJStinkers -.-

[mcgcarlos]

it still a fast topspin or dead ball, there no backspin on it. EASY!!!

[mrhotmale99]

how does he actually make contact with the ball? in slow mo to me it looks like the side of the bat is hitting the ball

[wideworld]

ok, so I will try this and put it up.

[1337nickstar]

this is fuckin awesome how should somebody return that ? :D

[jaime2658780]

ITTF rules about the service: "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."

[MegaKtulu]

UNREAL!

[mattbroderick]

I do this serve but from a traditional toss. I conceal the paddle, toss, and then as I come around I rotate my wrist to expose the backhand side (western grip) and hit it cross-court fading away. If you are able to conceal this AND hit it down the line as well as cross court it is effective. Against players with less skill, its pretty much ruthless. However, I have been blocked back several times. If you are blocked back you can drift to the right and be prepared to return with your backhand.

[rvsd44]

wow!

[Kwonghun2]

He made this with.....Backhand ? O_O

[ruhrohraggy13]

Definitely an illegal serve. The ball went up like 2 inches from his hand. Maybe not even that far...

[0905darkthinker]

top spin?

[ttpetiyyy]

Only Chuck Norris can return this serve...

[123HTFC632]

my coach tells me to attack whatever serve if it's coming off the table in one bounce. i do try to do that but how can i do that if i can't fucking see it bounce! :(

[pietrotou]

Does underside get more spin on the ball? Why not use a very closed normal wristy forehand, I think it's faster to learn

[Tubeistdan]

That's like a super-fast underside version of what I used to serve in high-school before the toss-rule became mandatory. It was like a loop-kill right near the edge of the table, and the spin kept it down.

It was never returned, and they ganged-up on me and said: 'That's illegal, you can't do that.' It wasn't illegal, but it was the only way they could beat me in a game.

Sure, good players will return his serve; they just have to stand back a bit and bang it back, with practice.

[bozzduck]

Fake! ;) if this is possible, you all have seen it by pro's like timo boll etc but nobody do this becaus it is not possible. :)

[MrCardious]

@bozzduck Well the enemy would just loop the ball.

[Sacriphyx]

@bozzduck - It is possible, as you can see.

[oobernerd]

this music is soooo bad!, i would rather listen to 007 sound system!

[justrealmeasures]

No matter how good you are in playing table tennis, there will always be an Asian to humiliate you.

[justrealmeasures]

@justrealmeasures but i think it's an illegal serve though. Not thrown high enough.

[gksw26]

I think it is a foul serve as the ball is not thrown high enough.

[dumky]

I'm worried about the follow through. If the opponent returns this serve, then he is not in a good position to return anything.

Btw, how much spin does the ball have on this serve?

[marcusgrim]

he doesnt throw the ball high enough

[nitroteddy01]

@marcusgrim

He is throwing the ball high enough. I'm pretty sure you have to throw it net height, which he is doing.

[topazanson]

@nitroteddy01 No I don't think that is net height. It is almost as if he is dropping the ball. The ball only goes up around 5 cm when it leaves his palm.

[tshirttime84]

I think any of the pro players can return this but not with a decent topspin/loop. They can just return it with a counter hit or something. But this is not in favor of the japanese guy because he will still have to finish the point. But if any "normal" league player can copy this serve, they will make alot of points. But I dont think this serve will get him many points on the highest level.

[Survive0The0Hell]

Id like to see him doing this serve to some pros and look how they react :P

[cjcarljordan]

im so gonna try learn this!

[happyvitit]

Yeahhh Ace serviceee

[gufbs]

Do u think Ma Lin can return this? O.o

[MrPawany]

@gufbs Easy :)

[17teacmrocks]

@gufbs easily. double bounce serve is never as fast as a loop kill. 

[17teacmrocks]

@gufbs obviously lol. no serve will be faster than a forehand loop since it has to double bounce. all in all, the result is simply a topspin shot. plus, unless he practices variation, the slow mo shows he does corner to corner. changing the direction alters the available length of the table. ma lin could either 1) block 2) wrist counter 3) side shuffle at a slant and counter loop

ma lin gave 0-10 lead to a 2600+ chn jr and beat him easy

mang, don't underestimate ma lin <.<

[SibelCeck]

@gufbs if he couldn't, this kid would be top 20.

[dfunkt]

@gufbs

lol, i bet 100% of players in the top-1000 could return this without trouble. basically, it is just a fast topspin serve to the corner. it could be either blocked down the line, or looped wherever. lol, probably half the players at my club could return this serve. as soon as you saw the action you would know what was coming...

[roshea]

I'm not sure of the frame rate; can you calculate the average speed of the ball based on the fact that the table is 2.74 m long?

[qasimisonline]

Great! But clearly the toss is not high enough.

[KripkeSaul]

The music makes me horny...

[tabletennisedge]

A couple of things really strike me in the slow-mo. Look at his follow through from 0:22 to 0:26. AND look how far the ball carries through from 0:26 to 0:30.

[nick16237]

@tabletennisedge hes obvi a pro...

[ftkjazztrio]

Thanks William! This is so amazing. I've been trying to copy this since watching the normal speed version. It is extremely hard to just make contact with this motion but it definitely helps seeing it slowed down.

[tabletennisedge]

@ftkjazztrio You're welcome - we were thinking of running a little competition to see who can do the best copy of this serve. You youtube viewers vote for the best one and the winner gets 6 months of Platinum membership at ttEDGE.com worth $144.

What do you think?

[ttwfan]

@tabletennisedge I like, I LIKE!!! A competition sounds like a great idea! I'm interested now to see how someone would receive this serve, any chance of a video of this? I suppose it'll be different in practice since the receiver would be expecting it, but in a real match situation where the opponent hasn't seen this serve before, I'm sure it'll be a bad return or even an ace.

[sydneytabletennis]

My little Jayden always wanted to learn new serve. He will try it out.

[aromil]

@tabletennisedge I tried and failed really bad, but for the guys who can actually do that serve decently I think it's an amazing opportunity to try out ttedge.com :P

[ftkjazztrio]

@tabletennisedge Sounds good. I've been working on it. I've actually made the serve about six times

but whiffed about 60 times. I would imagine it would take about a year or two to get this to be somewhat

consistent. I try and video tape myself in the next couple weeks.

[mabejon]

@tabletennisedge This video in slo-mo helped me a lot. I just tried this service a couple of days ago in my Meisterschaft against a good player and it just worked, of course some days before that I did some practice I mean a couple of hours and the result was quite impressive. I love the Tomahawk service from Matsudaira but this one is fast and very hard to bring back. Thanks

[thepongcast]

If there is a need for slow-motion, this is it! Thanks for sharing!
