In this video I demonstrate how to do four simple serves. These serves are ideal for beginner players as they are easy to learn and execute. You will learn how to add different spins to the ball by changing your bat angle and swing trajectory. In the video I demonstrate a backspin serve, a topspin serve, a sidespin serve and a no spin serve.

Very good guide. To anyone beginner wondering what to expect as a standard return (assuming you play against a beginner/amateur): 1) Backhand serve: If you served short, expect a short backhand chop. If you served long, expect a long backhand chop from a beginner or a top spin attack from an intermediate+ 2) Top spin: Except as fast play unless you are against a very beginner which should end-up with the ball out of the table or very-high&easy-to-return. 3) Side spin: If short, expect a short chop on the opposite side. If long, expect the table to barely return (LOL) as this is a very effective serve. 4) Flat: If your opponent judges it correctly, be prepared for a very fast return. Of course this is all conjecture and will NOT apply to all opponent.

As a beginner just starting to play table tennis in the VR game "Eleven", I'd really appreciate an explanation on why you should learn these shots and what the effect may be on the return shot. i.e. "If you serve with a lot of top spin, the opponent will have less time to react and the return ball is likely to bounce very high" or whatever. Therefore, If I try a top spin serve and it bounces up high from the opponent, I'll know I did it right.

@dontdoxmebro1780 Год назад

If you allow the ball to fall extremely close to the table top on a no spin serve before making contact you should be able to get a very flat low trajectory no spin serve to the baseline. I have found this variation the best no spin serve.

@eloimumford5247 Год назад

@ my senior club 95% of players use the same serve days in days out , should watch your tutorial. The easiest way to respond the flat and heavy serve is simply blocking ...boomerang effect is a winner

@darrenhagarty6716 Год назад

Good video as usual Tom. Hi from Oz. I’m not great at reading serves. In first year of fixtures after playing at home. I have moved a bit further back from the table to receive to give me more time. I basically expect a flat, topspin serve as a starting point but if the bounce is low and skidding then I go for a push.

@TomLodziak Год назад

I think that's a sensible approach. This will give you a bit more time to read what the spin is. Over time it does get easier to read the service spin.

@dennisbernhard3117 Месяц назад

I started playing with my girlfriend a couple weeks ago. I can do the backspin serve fairly well, but I struggle a lot with the topspin serve. I can already do topspin shots and I can do topspin serves when I don't toss the ball, too. But if I go for a legal serve and toss it, I either miss the ball completely or I hit it way too thick so it doesn't hit the table on my opponents side, or makes for an easy attack opportunity for the opponent. Can you give any advise on what to focus on? It feels like I am missing something very important, but can't figure out what it is.

I have a question. When you hit the ball, is it necessary for it to go into one of the corners of the table? Or can it go anywhere on it?

If you're playing singles, it can go anywhere. If you're playing doubles, you have to cross like you would in tennis.

Try to make contact with ball around net height, this will keep the serve low over the net.

Yes, a no-spin serve can be hugely effective against some opponents. It's very satisfying when an opponent mis-reads the spin!

Where do you aim the ball on your side of the table? At what height do you aim to hit the ball? Thanks 🙏

@TomLodziak Год назад

For the backspin, sidespin and no spin serves, you can aim the first bounce roughly middle of the table. For the topspin serve, you should aim the first bounce closer to the end of the table. Try to contact the ball around net height.

@Iceethe1 Год назад

Whenever I try some of these serves the ball bounces super high and flies over the table, do you know why?

@TomLodziak Год назад

It could be that you re hitting the ball too hard. Try brushing the ball more. The spin will help keep the ball on the table. Or it could be that you are contacting the ball too high above the table, causing the ball to bounce too high. Let the ball drop to around net height and then make contact. This will help you keep the ball low over the net and prevent you overhitting the serve.

@Konstant15. Год назад

Just to be clear, what option would be the best?

@TomLodziak Год назад

At very low levels, any of these serves are likely to be effective. Try them out and see which works best for you. Ideally you will develop a few different service variations, as this will be much more challenging for your opponents.

@michaelfoley5295 2 месяца назад

One thing I find very frustrating in any instruction video, is when the instructor gives an explanation both verbally and demonstrating the action, not actually performing the action, and then performs the action and the actual performance of the action is significantly different then the explained action. Here Tom has performed the backswing serve. His blade when striking/brushing the ball is virtually parallel to the table. In the explanation of this serve however, Tom states he opens the angle of his blade slightly, and shows an angle at about 45 degrees. This is not at all the angle of his blade when he actually performs this serve. And to achieve the amount of spin Tom is getting is NOT at all easy.

@daedalus25 2 месяца назад

Rubber actually makes a huge difference in generating spin. A cheap paddle isn't going to get the spin that he demonstrated.

Первая же подача нихрена не простая. То есть по сути подать нижнее просто, но вот так чтобы как в ролике получилось - нихера не просто. Да и принимается она тоже просто, нижнее дальнее принять сложнее - по нему надо заходить и крутить, а все его тыкают и попадают в сетку обычно.
