I accidentally executed the second trick - fake backhand serve. Had no intention of doing it then, but haven’t been able to recreate it since. Thank you for the breakdown!
That trick pendulum serve down the line is intriguing! I’ve always used a “bottle serve” for the surprise fast serve, but recently saw a video with Waldner showing his version, which is almost a quick shovel down the line, and has “reverse” spin, so it’s breaking away from your opponent. Yours looks harder to pull off, but I’ll have to try it. It looks even more deceptive, which is wonderful. 😈
Thank you Craig Glad you making your private videos without any "hosts" I'm russian speaking and always had issues with comprehending British English, but yours is 100% percent clear for me Apart from that, your advises are presize, simple and easy to watch One question - what is that ritual with taking your jacket off and breathing onto the bat? It looks like you mocking someone
I’m glad it’s clear enough for you to understand 👌 When I recorded the first video, I organically caught it on camera. I used it as a moment to caption the video and I’ve just kept it in. No mocking, just keeping the start consistent 🙂
Craig seems a very no nonsense straight to business guy ,who has very good serving skills.I'm not sure too many would be able to master these especially the reverse backhand but very informative nontheless!
It’s my first season in playing league table tennis, so it’s a steep learning curve. I do like to mix up my serves though, so even though I know this will need a lot of practice - this is gold. Absolutely loving your content, please continue with the breaking it down for the less experienced like myself. Thanks! Subscribed 👍🏼
Hi Craig great video could you make a video on service timing and the issue of missing the ball completely while serving and how to avoid it...thank you
Thank you for those tips! I sometimes try using Ma Long's fake underspin pendulum, when the ball is actually dead or has a little top spin. It's very difficult and I'm sure I'm not doing it very well. But I get some people w/ it. There are a few other deceptive ones I use, like the fake reverse. One easier fake is the standard underspin w/ a teeny bit of side. Sometimes, I make it a dead ball and people think it's underspin. Another serve I've been experimenting with is an underspin that you make sure bounces near your own white line. If you do it fast, that makes it look like a fast top spin. So, players will try to hit right through it but realize it was an underspin serve when it hits the net.
Since the pendulum serve is the base for most of my set ups I will surely try getting that third one done! I am struggling with the kicker down the line so maybe that one is going to be a solid substitute for that! Thanks alot! 🏓
@@TheTableTennisServiceGuy I don't think he does any of the ones you do, but he disguises his spin very well. ruclips.net/video/zyNzmM3JKhk/видео.html I think he is from the UK or Australia
@TheTableTennisServiceGuy Against an opponent who is already off balance its also fun to make a tomahawk serve that jumps 3m into the air "by accident"
Really good explanation and well demonstrated! 👍 Thanks for this video, learned new thing today. 🏓 BTW which racquet, rubbers combination do you use during playing matches?
Not that it matters much to me, but I think higher video quality might help your channel. Makes it feel more like "a high quality channel" when making first impressions, which might help with the YT algorithm too.
Thanks for commenting. I will do everything I can to keep the quality as high as I can. At the moment I am operating through my iPhone and I’m not in a position to invest in other equipment, just yet. When I’m able to, I will 👍
Interesting especially serve 2 is kinda crazy if ur oponent doesnt know it yet. The fake reverse pendulum however is not so deceptive and pretty easy to see to be honest. It's much better to learn the real top/side-spin variant of the reverse pendulum (contacting the ball to the top-right of the rubber close to the handle) and do that very similar to the normal back/side-spin which is much much harder for people to tell even when they saw it many times already.
@@Brezinski1000 but u do know the reverse pendulum and how it looks like in general? coz his fake pretty easy to distinguish from it, like hitting the ball to the left instead of right thats easy to see man u cannot disguise that
@@Blackain66 well....if it were easy to see generally, Craig would not bother to show in a video. I had 2 other players look at it and they couldn't spot it either. I guess if one is 2200 or up in ranking, it's easy to see. I would love to hear from some other folks. Regards.
Craig, nice channel! When I saw "trick serve" in the title I was hoping for an expanded review of a serve from a previos tutorial. I get nervous when serving at duece, esp in doubles. Up the middle is fine, but when I kick the overhead serve out wide it lacks power and the receiver easily passes my partner with cross court smash. Any thoughts?
Without seeing it, it’s tricky to say. However, it sounds like you’re contacting the ball too high. If you let it drop lower, you’ll create more speed in the serve. Give it a try 👍
This looks slightly hard but when i tried it, it was good. However the spins are not good when i did it, i think we need a very good racket to perfectly execute this services.
If you’ve good rubbers, just clean them before each session. I just use fairy washing up liquid on a damp cloth and then dry, completely restores the tackiness.
All serves were top spin some will have side aswell. some People Will have a bad touch ending up with a dead serve, You receive these serves with active blocking or Just a counter Ball. Goodluck with these tips

I'm using the 3rd one already since 2 years. Even players which are way better than I keep being stunned when I do it.
Really? Ive never seen you do it ?

Well done mate, nice tutorial, and for anyone else asking/wondering, yes all 3 can be done with penhold style.
👌
Amazing serves specially the third one haven't seen that one, thanks. More power!
3 great serves there, Craig.

The Ding Ning serve, awesome

Английский знаю плохо, но парочку подач возьму на заметку. Лайк.
I think these 3 thicks of serving look easy but actually quite hard to handle in a game
Anything is difficult if you don’t train it enough

Surprise trumps spin for these.
urrrrr amazing...
🎉
I'm almost entirely a novice. What make and model are the rubbers you use to get this control? 😊
How does he get the swerve is it brand new rubber?
No, not a new rubber. How you contact and how you deliver the ball have a big impact.
If you’ve good rubbers, just clean them before each session.
I just use fairy washing up liquid on a damp cloth and then dry, completely restores the tackiness.
Мастер!
