Thank you so much for what is undoubtedly one of the best videos on UA-cam on return of the pendulum serve. It was particulaly good that you had someone else making the serve so that you could demonstrate the return. One thought/question - appromixately 10% of our opponents are left handed - could you cover off in future vidoes how you deal with the return of service when you are facing a left handed opponent who is serving? Excelllent table tennis series - really enjoying the content.
Hallo Mathias, danke für die Insights. :-) Nun ist Üben angesagt. Ich bin nach 25 Jahren Pause wieder zum Tischtennis zurückgekehrt und hoffe im Laufe des Jahres mein erstes Mannschaftsspiel bestreiten zu können :-)
The most comprehensive video about receiving pendulum serve. Really love the way you capture from the side as well so we can see the foot work. Thank heap. Please consider receiving tomahawk serves to your list as I am struggling to receive them.
This is a great video! Thanks a lot and have been a fan for a while now! Is there any chance you could make a short video on the foot work for receive and the serve? I saw in time step 5:35 you talk about the 1-2 movements. In particular a helpful for me video would be 1. what are you thinking before receiving a serve (short long, flick, push)? 2. what do you look at exactly when the opponent is serving? (stance, elbow, ball height, contact point, bounce on the other side etc) 3. what is the appropriate footwork based on what you see your cues? same for serving and third ball attacking. I think most intermediate players like me struggle with a system to think through before the ball starts and having at least an outline would be amazing ! Thanks again for these video and definitely learn a lot from them! keep it up !
@@limittless. Looking forward to the videos ! Keep up the great work ! Having a comments QA session at the end of the video would be a great addition if there are enough question ! Just a suggestion :) Thanks again for the video !
I was looking forward when i saw the title but this does not really help much in the TTR range of 1500-2000, where bascially nobody can/do banana/bh flick yet and a lot of long servers are coming too. So a lot of ppl using pendulum serves long/fast to your backhand with spin variations from side/backspin to side/topspin making it tough to read it exactly and basically impossible to recive passively with a push/block without getting a killer 3rd ball right after, coz those long serves are hard to push short. I know a lot of players getting half their points just with their long fast pendulum side/top which many oponents cannot read well, try to push/block it bad first and then try to attack right away but missing a lot too coz of the crazy side/topspin curve the ball is doing on the table and also failing to attack that serve well coz they are not sure how much side/back/top spin is in it exactly. So it woulda been helpful to see some long side/top variations too and how to attack them well, but i guess Andreas cant do those yet and i see his pendulum has mostly backspin very easy to read anyway. Using only backspin variations is not that adavanced tbh.
I have difficulty with the reception of side backspin. Is the movement you make just upward and catching at the highest point? Sometimes the ball hits the net or goes out. I don't know where I'm going wrong.
What is really important is that you need to have the ball as long as possible in your rubber so you have a lot of control. What I see many players do is that their movement is too fast and therefore uncontrolled. Try to let the ball jump and wait a bit until you push it. Then it will have less spin and speed
@@limittless. Thank you for the response. Another question to complement: Do you use only forearm and wrist for reception? And the touch on the ball would be something around 50% spin and 50% hit?

Thank you for the nice comment! 🙏
That’s a good point👍🏻
Thanks a lot for this usefull video...
I even can practice alone to do topspin....for moving our body to be healthy although doin alone in home 👍👍

Thank you for your kind words😉
I will cover this in a future video👍🏻

Great video! Very helpful!
Very informative!
Nice Video and explanation. Can you tell us about your blade and rubbers you are using?
I am using the Zodiac Libra blade and on both sides K3 rubbers from my sponsor TIBHAR😉
Thanks.
Can you do a video about receive of reverse pendulum?
Yes it will come after the tutorial of the reverse pendulum😉

my achilies heel, pendulum serve, if you can serve that you will always beat me, if not forget it
Find someone that does it and practice receiving with him.
Nice video, thanks for sharing it 🎉
