Serving Secrets Revealed Preview - Table Tennis

[extremoknight44]

Thumbs up if you're a backyard player.

[azndung]

do you need a good bat to maximise the effect of side spin pendulum serve?

[pingskills]

@azndung You sure do. You need a bat with a good grippy rubber. Once you've got a good rubber, then you need a fast brushing contact to generate lots of spin.

[Lacross523]

@pingskills how much does the type of ball and table you play on effect the quality of the spin?

[pingskills]

@Lacross523 The quality of the rubber on the bat is the most important thing. If you don't have a good grippy rubber you won't be able to generate much spin.

[Lacross523]

@pingskills could you recomend a good cheap bat that i could possibly buy off ebay. just for at home use nothing to flashy

[pingskills]

@Lacross523 We recommend the PingSkills Rook which you can get off our website. Otherwise choose a good Table Tennis brand like Stiga or Butterfly (there are heaps of other good brands too!). If you are buying a second hand bat though you need to make sure the rubber is not too old. Once the rubber loses it's grip you won't be able to generate any spin which is the key to good Table Tennis. As a general rule of thumb you need to change rubber every 80 playing hours.

[huyiy]

@pingskills i bought a butterfly bat for about 50.. the rubber seems good but the blade itself is very thin.. i think its affecting my play.. whats your opinion on a thin blade?

[pingskills]

@huyiy Most blades are pretty similar thickness. Generally the rubbers are what makes the biggest difference. If you post a question on our website under ask the coach and give some more details we could open it up to our audience to see if we have anyone out there who has used your equipment.

[MrMetin2GaMeR13]

the first serve OMG:D

[thehuntinghunties]

dont u have to hit the ball on your side then hit the ball on the opponents opposite side. if so then all those serves were illegal

[pingskills]

@thehuntinghunties Not in singles. You can serve from anywhere to anywhere!

[thelegendarylord]

Interesting serve you guys do,I use to curve the ball from the bottom and it was almost impossible for my opponent(s) to pick it up.

[pingskills]

@thelegendarylord Great!

[thelegendarylord]

When I use to play ping pong I would do this underhand curve and they wouldn't manage to get it off.I was so pro and I was only a kid,boy I haven't played in so long.

[dfunkt]

@thelegendarylord

basement ping pong is not-at-all like competitive table tennis. go to a local club, and try out your serves against regular players there...lol, i bet the results will be quite alarming (even if you were in your "kid prime")! however, if you get the pingskills dvd, and work hard at applying the principles therein, you will be be well-equipped to start developing some real quality serves.

[TheJohneezy]

What is the rule in serving with regards to the view of the ball during serving? Must the ball be seen at all times by the receiver or can the server hide the ball with his body to disguise the serve?

[pingskills]

@TheJohneezy The rules now state that the ball needs to be seen by the receiver. You are no longer allowed to hide the ball. It is however a difficult rule for the umpires to enforce.

[TheJohneezy]

@pingskills Thank you for your help.

[pingskills]

@TheJohneezy You're welcome.

[Prototype137]

0:22 how can you throw the ball so high and easily manage to execute the serve?

[pingskills]

@Prototype137 It just takes practice. A good idea is to start practicing this away from the table so you don't have the pressure of keeping the ball on the table. Once you are confidently hitting the ball you can move back to the table.

[SniperRifle357]

I only know fast ball and fast screw ball

[lolirockso]

how come tomahawk is so much better then pendelum but pendelum gets a lot more sidespin? does tomahawk put something else on it as well?

[pingskills]

@lolirockso The serves in themselves are no better than each other. What makes them better is how hard they are for your opponent to return. Some players will return the pendulum much easier than the Tomahawk and vice versa. You can add backspin or topspin to the Tomahawk by using a different angle when you contact the ball.

[Werflow]

@lolirockso for any serve it all depends on the server [+rubber]. some players might be comfortable with the pulling in of the wrist and prefer the pendulum serve while others might prefer the extending of the wrist for tomahawk. everyone is different and depending on your style, you will have some serves that produce more spin on the ball than others. also, there are always variations to both pendulum and tomahawk. you can always add a slight backspin 8P

[Irfan87]

Whereabouts in Australia are you guys based?

[pingskills]

@Irfan87 Melbourne!

[98nfsmw98]

This serve is called the Ma Lin Serve

[98nfsmw98]

What is the serve called in this video?

[tutorials3216]

@98nfsmw98 pendulumn serve

[yobmas722]

how much would a copy cost?

[pingskills]

@yobmas722 You can find out all the prices of our DVDs and memberships from our website. You can also ask us any questions there. Let me know if you need any more information.

[MrTwixinator]

Does it also cover serves with penhold grip? I can't find any proper videos of it.

Thanks in advance

[mollex12]

Lol.

[criticaltinker]

Hi,

I've been one of your fan in youtube. I even subsribed to your channel. My question is; In your Serving Secrets Revealed DVDs, did you include the third ball attack in case your opponent be able to return your serve? I think it's important because I believed that a serve is a setup for the third ball. timo_bong

[Compantino]

You don't need to buy anything, just practise the serves and that's enough!

[98nfsmw98]

@Compantino What is the serve in this video called?

[MrMaYeSiZe]

good video

[CAPleasantonian]

This is just an advertisement! I don't need to watch a YouTube video to hear that serving is important. Waste of my time!

[whathehell]

i just do not get it , secrets of whAT ?

what is so special about this serving ..

[SWDFGB]

the serve at 0:25 is called a kenta serve but mines better ;P

[ranmaboyage10]

@SWDFGB Well considering these guys play for the olympics and alois plays for like australia, i think his is better:P

[Compantino]

@SWDFGB It's not called a Kenta serve, do you really think that serve was invented like 10 years ago? It was probably one of the first spinned serves ever in table tennis.

[TheBenja96]

oo yeah :D

[weitingyap]

0:36 seconds was an a illigel serve

[jodenzle13]

Can i ask why is it illegal?

[EliasOwnage95]

he didnt throw it up atleast 30 centimeters

[trttab123]

@EliasOwnage95 its 20 cm

[EliasOwnage95]

@trttab123 dude i play table-tennis cups and tournaments don't teach me

[goofyfacts]

its 16cm, its even legit written in ittf as the official rules for all playing.

[delic619]

then get your facts right before you make claims. If anything you just embarrassed yourself.

[EliasOwnage95]

@trttab123 if everyone saying different how come u must have right ha?? and btw u probably just a douche who just watches table tennis at least i play world cups

[gornmaker]

that is a perfectly legal serve, nothing wrong with it

[Antardrews]

why?

i dont think so

[TheAussieGunner]

nice

[MrPandapwnage]

nice? if you served me this shit, i would call the skin doctor to get you surgically removed, because you really ARE a cancer on this earth.

[ranmaboyage10]

@MrPandapwnage Don't be a douche dude, i think they are sightly better than you are:P

[MrPandapwnage]

yeah, they might be SLIGHTLY better, but i could fuck them up on gameboy colour or tabletennis. go take some creatine and run your head thru a printer you fucking jerkdonkey ball sack bag sick fuck.

[diamondflower012]

wow your serves are great. But how will I be able to return that?? Do I return with a chop??

[hell858]

you just got served

[iwantwii]

you would return with a simple, put down the paddle and walk away move

[Cheunges]

Thats at dangdelong :D

[theNodd]

serious?? oasis or something?

[Cheunges]

yeahhh at oasis .. that place has a swimming pool to yeah? lool i play there somtimes lool

[gornmaker]

I play their on Tuesday night in B2 seniors :D

[thiagov6123]

i just got my ping pong table today and i was so suprised at how my dad can serve so well. but he dousnt serve slow like this, but he still has an insane amount of curve. why dont you serve fast?

[nuijnpwnsxD]

because if you serve fast that enemy can smash it easily even it is low ...

when it got enough spin the enemy coulnt smash it

[h5q]

fast serve is bad,cause your oponent can atack from fast ball

[thiagov6123]

yea thats true, but if you place a fast serve well i think only pros can return it. nobody attack a ball that flies to their backhand and that is like a few inches off the table. you would have to have a super fast reaction and be able to topspin like mad off a backhand.

[uday932]

what is the round object number from 1-12 for ?

[pingskills]

It is a teaching aid we use to help describe where to hit the ball to produce different types of spin.

[gisc55]

my serves have been clocked at 200kmph and with 10500 rpm of spin

[ersguterjunge467]

yes 200 kmph the fastest ball in table tenns was 150 kmh u idiot

[Rognan91]

i have benn working on the serve you showed uss in this vid, and i think im starting to get the hang of it. So plz keap upp the god work and make even more nice vids

[Mintyboy4]

i used to spend ages on my serves but im currently having porblems with bakcspin sidespin serves....

its annoying...

[raidenkk]

Does the serving video contains many backhand servers? Does are just awesome! Just look at Matsedura Kenta at WTTC this year=) When people like Ma Lin fails to return a serve from a 18 year old person, it should have something to say:P

[pingskills]

The video does cover the backhand serve. Take a look at our website if you are interested in seeing the contents.

[anghelf]

what is happening with the site - I couldn't access it for several days already

[pingskills]

We haven't noticed any problems with the site from Australia. Are you still having problems? Is anyone else having problems accessing the site?

[s9646990z]

thats sick man

[godhandler2326]

thats a well deadly serve

hate to be on the recieving end of that

[coolwiller]

thank you pingskills. i watched the preview so many times that i learnt the reverse pendulum serve. thank you very myuch cause i got three medals at three tournaments only be cause i watched how to do the reverse pendulum serve. GO PINGSKILLS!!! please reply.

[pingskills]

Congratulations! Keep working hard to improve.

[austin4richardson]

the ball is to hit the table once when you serve you guys cant serve and dont sell stuff you cant do right

[stevema2]

they ARE serving correctly...in fact these pendulum and reverse pendulum serves are deadly and i m trying to work on these myself :)

[bigbbrojoe]

the ultra backspin serve looks deadly

[TTTechniques]

To get more spin into your serve, hit the ball light and softly.

[HATEbeersnobs]

yep while using the wrist

Pen style is more effective

u cant do too many serves with Shakehandle

[mikeirvng]

disagree with that, backhand serves are much more effective, and any serve you can do penhold, you can do shakehand.

[HATEbeersnobs]

eh not true @ all

ur response reveals how much you still have to learn about TT

[BjarkiSveins]

why are these serves popular if they become too popular others might learn to counterhit or even smash on one of these

[pingskills]

The key to a good serve, is variation. These types of serves allow you to subtly change the speed, spin and placement of each serve making it difficult for the returner.

[HATEbeersnobs]

type" MA LIN serve"

they're very effective if u learn how to hide the paddle angle

[Nirioth]

i wanna learn that serve at 0:13

[djcdiablo]

can I do this spin with a stiga rapid ACS (3*)?

[ikustir0915]

What is the background music called? I live it.

[marche85]

exelente!! a ver si algún diía me sale el truco jeje..

[Sublimatee]

niceeeee i love it!

[tananakkalabau]

wow, great! I can't hit the serve and that is my weaknes

[BennyJ69]

Have you got/heard of a net which you can practice with? They are soooo good to practice serves. I did 100 balls on each of my good serves (only 3 hehe) and they're phenomenal, well for a district division 3 player xD.

[palisandr123]

great spin, mate

[alvariyoo1]

buen video
