Hook Service Tutorial

[ffxme]

Only time I have seen someone describe a service without the use of the wrist. All other people who do the hook service or reverse pendulum serves use their wrist, look at timo boll or michael maze. Probably why your balls don't seem very spinny.

[staysher4312]

@ffxme --Timo doesn't do hook service. He uses reverse services. Hook service is the only one that u don't use ur wrist. I use my wrist a lot when I do other services. Hook service is more stable because it uses no wrist, but it is less spinny compare to normal reverse services. That was said by liu guo-liang.

There is no step 2, man! Step 1 is all required.

. . . and i thought there was a laser beam coming out of the paddle cuz of the thumbnail . . hahaha

[staysher4312]

@deejayextee that's a good one.......

[wlisjsu]

Hi staysher4312, what's the blade you are using?

[justice120240]

its an paddle actually not racket

[goptty]

hey staysher4312 what difference does it make if we use the normal grip ??

[staysher4312]

@goptty I feel that the normal grip causes the ball bounce off the blade quicker, can't get the rubbing done too well...

Staysher4312, for your forehand rubber Crack twister, what brand is it? Is it from DHS?

[staysher4312]

@pingpongcat2010 --the brand is Crack. Crack's Twister. But now I change to Yinhe's Apollo.

[pingpongcat2010]

I have tried many times to follow your instruactions to do the service, but still can't get the side spin enough to make the ball curve. Instead, the ball just got straight out. Please give me advice how to improve. Thanks.

[johnbozi]

[kevinqew]

[ustupidshit]

I like this service, looks easier to do then the reverse pendulum, I will do some training with this :)

Oh, and if you want to look at a pro who uses this, take a look at Par Gerell.

[kunXV]

too bad i cant use this i play penhold

[staysher4312]

@kunXV --actually wang hao does it all the time~ guess that's a good news for u^^

[kunXV]

@staysher4312 yeah actually wang hao is my idol. im currently practicing this serve nowadays, but i cant put enough spin on the ball. can u give some tips? thanks very much

[Darkoriangio]

@staysher4312 please tell me how to do tomahawk service by using penhold I beg of u plzzz :(

[staysher4312]

@Darkoriangio --I tried a few times....but it's very wired for a penhold player to do that.......sorry man....u might need to ask someone else....

[2ShaePussyCat]

@staysher4312 omg you are right, wang hao realy uses that serve.

[ImprovinMyGame]

Can this serve be done effectively using the deep shakehand service grip (like the grip Waldner and other pros use with many of their services), or do you recommend using the one you showed us in this video? Great video by the way.

[staysher4312]

@ImprovinMyGame --This service does not require too much wrist, so I guess the grip I used on the video will be more effective.

[Lovett9x]

@ImprovinMyGame you can also do the hook serve version like Schlager always do, I think its a bit more deceptive and easier to vary the spin.

[MrJunMizutaniJP]

great video man!! really!! :)

[ansonwarrior]

you are wrong if u want backspin u dont go under the ball. u go down on the ball, with top spin u go forward.

[staysher4312]

@ansonwarrior --there isn't only one way to make backspin u know.....

[ansonwarrior]

@staysher4312 yeah i know, but professionally, u watch liushiwen and her hook serve, she uses the same technique for backspin and topspin. i like your serve though

[jedandtodd]
