He made it in perfektion !

[iluvfish123]

omg what a serve

[djvsst309]

i wanna learn this serve...

[SuperMaekou]

This serve is violation.

The toss is not vertical.

[SchemeSC]

@SuperMaekou

The rules say that the serve must be NEARLY vertical, not completely vertical. I agree that his serve might be pushing it a little bit, but it's clearly more vertical than a lot of other pro serves.

[CsAnnihilationII]

look at that spin lol

[eljm77]

rafael nadal playing table tennis?

[TTStefano92]

Beautiful reverse pendelum..

[Monyshaker]

der macht die angabe sooo schön.. wundervoll!!

[Rastaguy8]

@preppyposer1 no a reverse pendulum is just sidespin

[PreppyPoser1]

Its called a Reverse Pendulum Serve, whats the big deal?

[tylersurfer18]

What happened to holding the HANDLE instead of the PADDLE!?

[ravenrose89]

@tylersurfer18 For handshake holders, services are usually done holding the paddle to impart more spin. You can check out videos of professional players and you will see what i mean.

[Moviewatchnmake]

@MrHurley321 and its called practice and training constantly

[Moviewatchnmake]

i can almost do it... so hard though

[TheThyne93]

[rohitdewani]

KAmal shrath achanta!!! greatest indian TT player...

[yogistyle92]

This serve is easier with the penhold grip...don't hate...

[raginghades]

this serve is call reverse pendulum serve...got pendulum and reverse pendulum the serve have some back and side spiin on it

[braquemar]

@U8Kamel Hahahahahaha

[ZeDuBreju]

Was the serve a backspin? I think so.

[gimplar]

@ZeDuBreju Yes, back side spin. Pendulum and reverse pendulum (inside out) will always have at least a small element of side spin on them.

[ZeDuBreju]

@gimplar So if you can't read it right you can hit the ball on net, right?

[crickeycool]

@ZeDuBreju no its mainly sidespin but you can vary the amount of backspin or topspin on ehte ball. curve the ball to get topspin/sidespin and drop the ball with a downwards action to get backspin/sidespin. its very easy to vary the spin hence lethal ... but if picked up this serve can be smashed and the best part is for a right hander due to the spin the ball comes to your forehand

[ZeDuBreju]

@crickeycool Thanks for the class. I like so much watching serves in slow motion, this way I can see more details.

[TaciTiciBoy]

he knows how to do it

[eps0n]

that´´s right. he throws the ball to his body..

[HiimElfy]

I saw him play :)

[MrWaaghals]

This is the most beautiful serve in the game

[DimaKats2]

@MrWaaghals Yeah i think its one of the best

[hectp11]

@MrWaaghals Agree! ...

[AgentNE]

@MrWaaghals Too bad it's illegal now. The toss has to be straight up.

[ahmed19225]

@AgentNE why ?

[Darkoriangio]

@AgentNE straight up ? not really since too many ppl break this rule !

[AgentNE]

@Darkoriangio ussatt(dot)com(slash)index(dot­)shtml

It says that the serve must be "projected near vertically upwards." :(

[plot000000]

@AgentNE nobody actually tosses it straight up. it's up to the ref to judge to determine if the serve is illegal or not

[Weinkumii]

he holds the ball away from his body and throws it TO him

[Weinkumii]

THIS SERVE IS NOT LEAGAL i think.....

[Legitdupe]

@Weinkumii It's as legal as can be. The contact with the ball is completely visible to the opponent, the throw is higher than 16cm. The only debateable illegality is the angle of which the ball travels in the air.

[Merrlol]

@Weinkumii As of my time of writing (06/06/2010) this serve is currently legal. There was a rule change regarding ball toss around the time of the WTTC that has removed the previous requirement for a 'straight' throw.

[TTfiend]

who is this

[gravedigger02]

@TTfiend His name is Sharath Kamal Achanta... He's the best Indian player I think...

[sonudoon]

@TTfiend He is currently 48th rank in world rankings.

[mihirthedemon03]

@sonudoon His Name Is Sharath Kamal.. From India..
