I'm making a C Drive library of your videos for repeated viewing. The more I watch them, then practice, the more my game improves.
You vs other RUclips instructors:
1) Clear articulation
2) Great demonstrations of each technique
3) Slow Mo of each technique
4) Top Tips
==>>> Your videos are pure gold!
Thank you ☺️
This is actually the best ping-pong tutorial I've ever seen. To me, as someone who's only learning from RUclips and not a real coach, having a very detailed explanation really helps me, especially because you explain the thing process.
You're very welcome!
Your tip on the loction of the table to ensure a quality short top spin , along with the simple yet brillant explanation of the top spin disguise ..best I have seen ... will definitely share your channel
It's my favorite serves! And I love the deception part where you merge the after-actions together. Much appreciated, Craig! For the next videos, I would love to see how you use these serves strategically to set up for a 3rd ball attack, or control where the 2nd ball will be returned to your side. Thanks.
I agree! 3rd ball attack off pendulum serve would be great.
I like your calmness: it's a welcome change from the overly enthusiastic videos we often get. Very soothing.
Everything else is absolutely top notch: the 3 steps, the repeated placement argument, the location of the first bounce and why you choose to deceive towards the topspin motion.
What I''m taking from this is going back to practicing pure sidespin pendulum with all the "minor adjustments" you advise and play practice matches with variation of placement alone. Then I might go back to where I am today: variation of spin. Deception is not for me yet: it screws up the spin itself. On the backhand I find much easier to include some deception and pull back the elbow before or after the contact.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks very much for your comments, very nice to hear. Good luck with your training.
i prefer the bloopers because its closer to my own game ! Plus it shows you are human and aren't pretending to be perfect. Great instructive class !
Your SOSIA here Craig thank you so much for this video, because I want to improve this service! 💪🏻 The second part and third are the most dufficult for me
Craig, the man we need !
Sing it from the rooftop “Craig, Craig, Craig!”
Brilliant tutorial. Very methodical and instructive.
Great video! Very well explained! Congrats!
Ben following you for some time now. Worth it fully Thank you!
I truly appreciate the tips and advice for this video; it's truly helped a lot. Keep it up, coach. Greetings from the Philippines❤.
Great video, good explanations and many details. Some people talk too much, not you Craig :) Thanks a lot!
Thank you for the lesson Craig!!!
good commentation. especially 1st section about an angle. I have produced a backspin with a flat angle.
I love the deception part in the video and very useful tips on doing the pendulum serves
Nice tutorial, thanks for taking the time to explain.
excellent tutorial for variety without changing the basics
3... Great video, thanks!!!
Thanks Craig, yet another great vid.
New to this serve so Technique is my focus but motivation from seeing how it can be used. Thanks.
Great video. I will practice these spins this weekend.
Great video Craig, thanks 👍
Thank you very much... great explanation...
very cool just what i was looking for, thank you!
Awesome disseption ❤
Really useful tips. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much!! Now it's time to practice the serve 😄
Very useful vedio in the right time thanks Mrs craig
Another great video! Thank you.
i really like these long tutorial videos. Very detailed. IF you somehow can add where you exactly hit the ball with a mark then i would be so happy. Golden delivery!
Great tutorial...I use this serve alot but picked up some new tips about the different spins...
Thank you Teacher
Great video! Keep on the good work!
Great video! Thanks !
Very, very cool and useful. Thankes a lot, Craig! ))
Amazing pendulum serve...very cool tutorial
Brilliant, thank you.
love the videos, verry useful, easy step by step implementation, even as an intermediate level player could learn a lot from the breakdown explaination of those techniques
I’m glad you found it useful 👌
Got some practicing to do now. Thanks man!
Love the videos. Be good to see some about returning these serves (and more left-handed versions).
Very nice content. Thanks so much
Love this content Craig. I would like to see a video about the specifics of a good ball toss. I tought I should aim to have it as straight up and down as possible, but your toss seems to have some arc to it. Also, my toss is often all over the place, so I'd like to know the fundamentals on getting a solid, reliable toss everytime.
You are real master! Thank you a lot!
Thanks Craig
Part 3 for me ! Thanks for the video !
thanks so much
Great tutorial.
Very good service
thank you coach.
awsome video !! thanks
That was clear and useful, thank you!!
🙂
deception part was awesome dude
Thanks. More to come 👌
Super informative. I started playing ping pong a couple of weeks ago. These videos are incredibly helpful.
Welcome to the game. I’m glad I can help.
Hi
I I love l your work
Please don’t stop ❤
I would love to have another two videos
The first one about disguising the reverse pendulum, serve
And the other one about how to do a fast, Backhand serve
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can you please do this from the other side of the table for doubles. Nice explanation indeed.
thank you!
Thank you for the great tutorials. I watched some where the elbow was maintained very high throughout the serve. The claim was the muscle group was faster on the elbow down. I have also watched where the various spins changed by where the ball was contacted in the arc of the paddle. Backspin as the paddle is headed down and top spin as the paddle is arching up. The side spin changed as to where on the ball you did your magic. I would love to see this with a penholder grip too. I look forward to your thoughts.
Thank you
a common deception most people tend to forget about is to just vary the contact point of the bat during the serve; if you do mostly sidespin-underspin serves, you can implement some relatively dead balls with the almost exact same motion. The bat generates less spin at a more centered contact point. With that angle, it's tough to see the exact contact point, which will often lead to high bounces and easy third ball attacks. At the same time that will also make the underspin serve more effective as the opponent might be unsure and could over-compensate an adjustment.
An issue could be indications of spin via sound, so a useful integration could also be to include a stomp at the contact-point to hide the sound.
I am still learning it. Maybe it is going to get easier with your tutorial.
Thanks for the video and explanations. Very helpful. Subbed
👌 thanks for watching 😁
I don't usually comment but it's a pleasure to watch your videos, I'm a little frenchie amateur and listening to you helps me to practice both english and table tennis skills ! Keep it up :)
Thank you sir, your comment is all the more appreciated (if it’s not something you normally do) 🫡
Yea...I'm an English aficionado and writer. I guess this is why I said in my first comment that I enjoy his delivery. Sekklements!
Well done! Section 2 is really helpful for me, but also the outtakes are great 😂
Glad to hear it! 😁
Sehr gut, danke
Thank you very much, very useful. I have to work a lot to avoid hitting too much of the back of the ball, if I brush slightly it remains on my side of the table, if I hit it too strong it bounces directly on the other side...
THIS IS GREAT CONTENT!
It really is!
A side comment. The number of views, within just a few days, compared to the number of subscribers shows how important such information is. With time, I think the number of subscribers will grow! :)
Thank you, I hope you’re correct 🤞
Great video! Ive been looking for a video where it shows how to do the pendulum serve. I saw few of them but there isn't much detailed information like in your videos. Thanks for the video Sir ❤.
And
In future can you make a video on how to do the windshield wiper serve?
Your serves are killer Craig!!
😜
insta like and comment for you Craig, u re the best!
Hi Craig
Lovely video!
I have 1 question about the topspin variant: Is there wristmovement needed to create sidespin or is the sidespin created only by pulling the bat upward while contacting the ball on the side?
Thanks for sharing all of your great tutorials!
Nice! Can the service guy also show how to receive serves?
I’m sure I’ll cover receive at some point
Simply excellent. I'm currently focusing on part 1 and 2 as far as I'm concerned. I would recommend a view with another angle as a complement. It took me some time to understand that I was touching the ball too close to the table edge whereas I should touch it in front of my right heap. Best thanks again. Working hard with this video...
Thank you. I’ll try to remember to add in some alternative angles in future 👌
Thanks!
Thank you so much ☺️
Muy buena che, saludos desde Argentina 🏓
New subscriber always watching your videos sir thank you for sharing❤
Thanks for subbing!
Thankss
Great video, coach! Hope you can do a dedicated tutorial like this for the Reverse-Pendulum Serve. It's my main serve and I want to see how you break it down.
Good stuff. I don’t use the pendulum serve, but am ready to work on it tomorrow
Practiced for two days, then took it to the club and used it. Pretty clear why it's such a popular serve. I realize I've been using a backhand version forever, but this video gave me ways to improve that.
Hi Craig, ❤ what your doinng. Really well explained. What probably most people struggle with is not the serve as such. I can imagine how to achieve the spin. My problem is achieving a consisten toss. How can I consistently get the ball in the ideal serve zone? Any input on how to achieve this withot practicing for 10'000 hours? Love to see a video about how to improve one's toss.
The third one, working on the deceptive part
Thanks. I hope you also make video where you teach how to hit back a spind serve so thaqt the ball doesn't bounce.
For me it's a whole new discovery. I have never served in pendulum before. So I'll try it out. I often serve righthand underspin, lefthand sidespin, or righthand sidespin. I'm not good at righthand topspin serves. I think I need to loosen up a bit more the motion of my arm and wrist.
Nice bro
Actually watched it. Very big improvement in quality comparing to your early videos with Tom. Not too slow, not too fast and I could clearly see what are you doing even without slow-mo. Exactly what is needed for a tutorial video ❤. Perhaps the brown doors and camera angle helped a lot.
Not good with disguising and tbh don't put much effort into it yet. When I face an opponent who reads spin well and reacts adequately I tend to switch towards simpler serves with more predictable returns like simple back with subtle side or short no spin, which often surprises opponents after spinny serves. It takes some mental effort to accept there will be no cheap points today and get prepared to rallies.
Thank you very much. I try to keep things as organic as possible, so I’m sure some things will hit and other things won’t but over time I hope to continue to improve the quality.
Thanks! I'd say I'm at 2. I know it, but am not consistently hitting all quadrant. And it's great to start thinking about deception.
Insta. Watched whole video, very informative. Will apply in the game.Thank you Coach
Great
Really good video. Insanely precise and good explanation how to do the serve. You got a video for the tomahawk serve too?
Thank you, no, not yet
I usually struggle more with the reverse pendulum, but as it turns out I'm not as good at this one as I thought either lol. Great video! Maybe a video about a surprise fast flat serve from this position? I do that occasionally to catch my (albeit usually low-level amateur) opponents off guard, but I bet you'd know a lot more about that than me as well :D
best video on pendulum i have ever seen. brilliant.
Woah. What a comment, thank you 🤩
Absolutly agree!
I have mixed my pedulum serve with a kick serve. It has loats of side top-/backspin and it is fast. Almost every time an instant point.
Respect
Thk u
Great video. Could you do a video on how to read serves, particularly pendulum? I have a hard time reading spin on serves.
Just concentrate and look what direction the bat is going when it hits the ball
Hi Craig! Thanks for the video, great content :) I have a question about the wrist as I have heard different advice. Do you actively flex your wrist? Or do you keep the wrist releaxed and act like a hinge where the movement is through a coordinated forward and back swing of your forearm supported by the body? Ive heard that deliberately trying to move your wrist results in less racket head speed, so interested to hear your thoughts :) thank you!
Interesting the question. I do try and be relaxed before the serve but then there’s definitely a tightening on the point of contact to help create the spin
Hi Craig, could you create a video about receiving the serve. I think it's really helpful ❤
Possible once my robot is up and running 🙂
Since its a back spin mainly, just pushing it back with your backhand side in the desired direction, which would be to your right would do it.
I think your videos are the most comprehensive breakdown on how to do the different types of serve. Would you recommend mastering it without the deception first and adding that later?
Thank you very much 🙂 I would recommend becoming competent at stages 1 and 2 before moving on but mastery wouldn’t be necessary
Hi Craig. Do you plan a video about reverse pendulum serve with different spins? I've developed a decent half-long side-top spin serve but the problem is that I actually try to make a side-back serve 😁I hit underneath the ball on forward wrist motion, try to follow through as much as I can, still somehow it spins in an unexpected way. Can be counted as a disguise perhaps 😂
I’m sure I’ll cover reverse at some point 👌
