Once again, a great video Tom. Service is soooo much under-practised in some level (not pro, obviously). I especially like Mike reminding how to make the best use of a service. Being a right hand player, if I do a long fast bomb service into the BH of another right hand player, there is 80% chance he will return in diagonal, exactly in the position I served. So I just have to arm my FH and make the point!
Such great tips. If there's any one thing I could encourage others to practice, it's serving. Serving is one of the few aspects of table tennis that you can effectively practice completely solo. Grab a box of balls and go to town
This video comes with great timing. My rally game has been improving recently, and I need to start pushing my serves to the next level. I would like to know how often you change serves in your games. I feel like I sort of pick a serve and use it for a few points, varying the placement and spin, and then I try to pick a very different serve to keep my opponent from getting comfortable. Is this advisable? My other thought is maybe using a single serve until it's no longer effective and only then change serves.
This is a big, huge topic. There is no definite answer. It completely depends on the situation. This is how I approach it... In the first game, I try a few different serves to see what my opponent likes doesn't like. Second game, I may focus more on the serves which have proved more difficult to return, with occasional variation to keep opponent from getting comfortable. And then from this point on, it really does depend on what is happening in the match. If a serve is proving particularly effective, I may use it a bit more. If my serves are getting attacked, I may need to keep them tighter. In general it is good to vary spin, speed, placement. But if you have a serve which is working very well against a particular opponent, then use it a bit more. I think I'll write a longer blog post about this topic on my website. Thanks for the great question!
Yes, I think that would be popular. I have some more videos coming out with Craig on different topics. We filmed these in the summer. But when I next film with Craig, I'll do some more on returning serves.
Good video. Would have been even better if the camera was set up on the left side of the table instead so we could see Craig's contact more easily when he's serving from the far side.
Question: where should you serve on the table? Craig was serving from the very corner, but is that because of his playing style? Or is the corner the ideal place to serve for most styles?
With my 10€ racket on a stone table which functions as a random number generator (rough surface), I just might not be able to reproduce that :) But try, I will.
Technique is the most important part. With a cheap racket you will be able to generate spin. With a better quality racket, you will be able to generate more spin.
Man, I am a good recreation player. Illegal serve, hit flat react to opponents hitting flat often. And also, I am left-handed. The reason for all this is that I want to transition to the table tennis game. So for example, I need a left hander to serve and get a side view so I can see where the paddle is from the back line at point of contact. A multi view SLOW Motion video might be great also. Anyone want to help an aspiring guy out? Thanks in advance
Awesome. Now we need a video on how to improve the receives. :)
Yes!!! Definitely. I will speak to Craig about making some receiving videos.
I agree!!!

Great sir.
I am always happy about new videos from you. You always have very valuable tips that improve my own technique. Thank you so much! Keep it up! 😊
Serving is I think the most important part of the game to set you up to win the point. My serves are good. Wish the rest of my game was as consistent.
Great video. Thank you.
Mantap penjelasannya, sukses selalu.
Great video as always .. thank you coach
Thanks Coach ! This is very useful 🙏🏼

Great video - and timely for me too. Thanks!
Its great .Can you make a video on improving on reading opponents moves beacause i will be participating in small tournament very soon
I have a video on reading opponent's spin coming in 2020. Probably a bit too late for you though :(
Your videos are really good
a little bit advanced for me but good to know!
Can you make a video on how to serve or serve variations for doubles? Thank's before 🙏
Yes, I've had a few requests for doubles tactics. It will take a bit more planning, but I do hope to do videos on doubles in the future.
Great video now how to improve serve receive with Craig

すごく参考になります‼️👍👍できれば日本語の補助字幕を入れてくれたら助かりますけどね‼️😉

Tom Riddle Yep, Eyes: that’s easy hands: That’s impossible

Slow motion please or zoom in could be useful. Thank you
Do u need a professional racket to do these because I dont have one and on my serve I cant put too much spin?
10 Euro Racket is enough for the beginning. To many people buy too early expensive equipment.
As Long as the rubber is complete ass and slippery, it should be fine
Technique is the most important part. With a cheap racket you will be able to generate spin. With a better quality racket, you will be able to generate more spin.
Just get a 30-50 euro blade by yasaka, donic or stiga and some tacky rubbers.
Mantap
I think that your videos watch many people from Russia and Ukraine, it will be very good if you create russian subtitles 🙏🙏🙏
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Doron in his free time plays table tennis
2:13 how to do this serve?
This is the kicker. Craig explains how to do it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/EuXKHxRcRbQ/v-deo.html
Aren't the serves illegal, because he is tossing the ball not only vertical but towards his body?
Sir i want to play with you
He is really good at serving. The serves (hand movement) all look the same -__-
First!
Why do you throw the ball up in a loop towards you, isn't that illegal. I thought the ball was meant to go virtually up?
barry nicholas
Near vertical is the rule. Very natural to throw the ball back slightly.
Craig Bryant Not when I do it, maybe that’s where I go wrong.
Как он это делает?)))
