A Serve for Everyone - The Backhand Serve
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 гру 2023
- The Backhand Serve is a serve that anyone can use and should use.
It’s a great serve for those that are new to the game, it can be easier to control because it’s in front of the body and easier to see what’s happening too.
Equally, it’s a great serve to develop throughout your career. You can develop more spin, more variations and deception too.
We’ll be looking at all of the above and much more in this video. If you’re already using a backhand serve, can you add some of these concepts to it? Or, perhaps this is your sign to start developing your backhand serve?

A suggestion: In your future videos, is it possible to use balls that make it easy to see the spin on the ball, something like Joola spin balls? It would then be super obvious to see the effects of the serve you are showing. BTW I say topspin at the end.
The timing of this comment! I found one but I'm also about to order some. So, they might not feature in the new couple of videos but they're on the way.
Hi Craig,
I was thinking the same thing.
And... why not invite the slow mo guys to have a very good accuracy of the spins, movements, ball's rpm, high an lenght of the rebounds....
It should be nice with their phantom 😊😊
Friendly,
Ovtcharovs Backhand Serve got us out of boredom of just Pendulum serves everywhere.
He actually was awarded with “the best inventions 2008 award” by the times magazine. Just love the variety 😇
Very helpful. Thanks. Top spin.
Awesome instruction. Many thanks for the content.
Thank you Sir Craig for evey detail youve been showed for this serve
That helps soo much, more of that, thank you!
Very helpful, thank you.
Very clear speech and super explaining. Nice to hear. Thx u for video.
Great video Craig. I enjoyed the captions on the RHS giving a breakdown of the constituent parts of the backhand serve. I realise now how versatile the BHS really is !!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks you, good lesson
great video , as newcomer to league TT will be working on this over next few months to add variety
Great Video. So useful to have a safe service but which isn't obvious to the opponent. Thank you
Lucky 😊 and Backspin
I am practising for some months but much closer to the net. I think yours is really good to add another variaty.
Good videos man !
I think it's backspin! I like to use the backhand serve from the left of the table. Will try your method of serving from the right side of the table. Never done that before 😅 . Thanks for the awesome tips!
great video! Thanks for your work. For me the most important part of playing backhand serve is indeed the grip. I am not the fastest to go back to shake hand after, for instance, reverse pendulum. Really liked the part on the different starting positions. I have come to like the far out position quite a bit recently, especially long with lots of side spin to the backhand side- ball moves off and then onto the table.
Backspin 100% What helps is looking at the racket angle on contact. I played against someone recently who was really good at backhand serve and, like Craig, the arm/elbow motion is the same on all variations so that threw me off a bit the first times I faced it. Good thing for the receiver is that the racket is not concealed for very long so you have a opportunity to focus on the contact point. As for placement I always found this extremely hard to predict. Like Craig said, when the server maintains the same posture throughout their serves it really doesn't give away much and I feel like the backhand serve gives you such a nice angle for placing the ball anywhere you want. Definitely something I'll practice more!
Thanks for yet another great video, Craig!
😁
Service master!
😁
Could we have a video or two on serves for when playing doubles as you don't have the whole table to play with? Thanks for all your great videos.
I'll add it to the list :)
Very good
Ciao from Italy,Thank you for you important advices! You are one of the best and we look alike 😅🏓
Thank you very much! You must be a good looking chap too :D
@@TheTableTennisServiceGuy 😂you're also a nice, modest guy as well as good!
Lucky .... comes with hardwork ! 👍
👌
Thanks
Basic and easy 🏓👏
Hello Craig ,
What is your rubber and the wood please ? 😊 just for information 😊

Looks top
Sure?!?
I watched the last serve several times, and I think it's a topspin. But if I saw it the first time in a match, I wouldn't be sure.
Oooooh, how sure are you?! :)
my guess: backspin serve@@TheTableTennisServiceGuy
Great video, top spin is what I see….I watch a guy’s channel called Loosee Looee who does a backhand serve with backspin that makes the ball come back to the net, I can make the ball stop but not come running back to the net, any idea what the trick is?
i wish i could do that surventhat good
Yes, Lucky 😇
Back spin 😊
Werry got thenks

Backspin
Hi Craig. I've been waiting for this video for a long time. I ask you a question, in this service is the wrist important or is the arm used more to generate the spin? It is difficult for me to generate a strong spin on the backhand serve.
If the grip is not tight (just light enough) then you'll benefit from some wrist action in the serve, which will allow for more spin. So, yes, it can be important.
Backspin 😊
Backhand topspin
What blade/rubbers are you using? I had to switch to Rakza Z to improve my serves, but I'm not sure I like it on my 2nd/3rd balls.
I use Dynaryz AGR. Yeah, important to find a river that you’re comfortable with for all aspects of the game 👍
@@TheTableTennisServiceGuy Oh, great rubber. Too rich for my blood though.
Topspin
would a lot of these principles still apply to left handed players, if so how would it differ?
Serving to a left hander, yes
Could you please let us know what blade and what rubbers you use? Thank you

Lucky !
For me is a topspin service, following the trajectory of the ball. True?
Double check…are you sure?
I’d go for Topspin
How sure are you?
Love the videos. How about backhand no spin variation?
Maybe you could mention how to build a simple rebound board using old table tennis rubbers so people can confirm the spin they "think" they have applied to the serve.
Cheers from Canada
No spin is always a useful variation. I’m definitely not skilled enough to talk about ‘how to build a return board.’ One of my clients has just sent me theirs though, so I’m sure that’ll feature soon.
Topspin.
Sure?!?!
Ding Ning!
Guessing topspin
Ooooh, how sure are ya?!

Hmmm, how sure are you?

backspin, early touch/ brush
I think it´s topspin! 😅
Awesome. Is the jury still out ? Top or back spin ? Shows how good the technique is ! Using this serve a lot now . Many thanks Craig ! 😊🏓
Lucky ;)
13:25 backspin and later topspin.
It’s the same serve, just slowed down after 👍
@@TheTableTennisServiceGuy ua-cam.com/video/xyKkWR6DbfI/v-deo.html a glance to you, it works even at my level
Topspin, easy to see with 0,25 playback speed 😀
Oooooooo, are you sure? Even at 0.25?!?!?
@@TheTableTennisServiceGuyI'm pretty sure too. Topspin
@@TheTableTennisServiceGuy eeehm, Not any more 😅 by the way, I have a receiving-problem 😊
Lucky indeed, it wasn't bad at all! 😂
:D
Lucky
Backspin?
Answer to your challenge - it was a backspin serve.
Backspin😅
Lucky. Needs lots of practice.
Its a topspin. Your elbow goes to the head
Or…did you fall for the movement?! 🤷🏻♂️
Backspin 💩
Interesting choice of emoji!
Or maybe this one 🍀@@TheTableTennisServiceGuy
I think you need to invest in a decent camera and light. Quality is very poor, shadows everywhere, grainy. YT is all about presentation
After watching back, I agree, the quality is off but I’ve used the same set up as before and the quality in the others has been okay. I had a different light (heater glowing red - it’s a cold hall!) on and perhaps that’s what’s distorted the picture.
What is this nonsense of taking your jacket
Lucky! I'm a beginner, if somebody serves a backhand serve like this, should I aim the bat to the left or right if I want to return the ball to the middle of the table?
General role is aim for where the bat is coming from in the motion. His bat starts at our right, so aim to our right.
@@rfbooth nice one- thanks!
What @rfbooth said!
@@rfbooth this works in (mostly?) all classes. but sometimes i do exactly the other way, because he dont think, that this can happen. the surprise is on your side, even in a bit higher amateur leagues. (in pro league i dont know, i dont play there ^^)
@@TheTableTennisServiceGuy great vid!
Backspin, as the bounce is closer to the net and is slower over the table.

@@TheTableTennisServiceGuy looking at it again its hard to see the under spin disguised with arm lifting at the end. But looks to me slight under spin
