Seeing Jan Ove Waldner’s serve, it’s hard to believe that the rule that you cannot hide the ball on the serve was implemented because of anyone else

Of course it was. He was a master of hiding but in fact he was even better to mask his side spin, if you look you always get fooled. So incredible fast, hit one direction and change immediately to the other. Absolutely incredible.

I don't understand,why so many comments have no idea about the rule changed During the time Waldner was playing,hiding serve is legal You can't do that rn is because ittf change the rule in 2002
Tennis used to be my favouritr hoppy! However, watching these guys shows me how difficult the professional level is!!!
I have never seen Ma long serve that way before, and I don't recall ever seeing it all from anyone, frankly. I'll have to copy it, it looks murderous, at least if you use it only once in a match.

It's unique, yes. However, it's not hard to return. In the end, it's a topspin serve. So unless your opponent is completely confused it's easy to return.

Kenta Matsudaira also has creative Tomahawk serves
@-danR

Kenta had/has the only true Tomahawk serve, and used it less and less.. Ding is retired and hardly used it after her teens. A true T-serve is bh/fh side bivalent, by design: the opponent is momentarily caught in a split-second decision process: before reading the spin, you have to figure out the side. There is no such thing as a 'reverse' tomahawk serve. forehand/backhand variation inhere in the thing. Thus, a T-serve is a _type_ of serve, not an instance. Ovtcharov does not have a tomahawk serve, btw. I would call it a sword-serve, or tennis twist/slice serve. That said, he once emulated Ding Ning's bh-side strike in a demo/exhibition event; I don't recall him execute a Tomahawk serve in a real match. Maybe he should, once per match. Even a lousy T-serve from Dima would blow an opponent's mind.
I call the last one the Smash serve 😀
Hmm.. I was lucky enough to play against Carl Prean when he was coming through - not only did he play with black Lentec long pimples on the back hand and black reverse on the forehand, which ordinarily made service return difficult, he would also stand with his back to you and rotate his body back towards you whilst serving. There was another guy around at that time called Billy Gleave who serve wise was even more difficult, he played with black reverse and anti loop - you never had a clue what was on the serve, always fast and at your elbow if you got it back he just clubbed the return and he would twiddle and could hit the ball with either rubber. Not fun if you on the receiving end. Don’t forget the reverse rubbers were all glued to hell with Vulcofux and like and we were playing with the small tt balls which hooped about much more than the plastic blobs today. The rules had to change, but I loved it.
Yo what was the song name for Ding Ning’s reverse tomahawk at the end?
ding ning summoning spirits with that action
Even Persson at middle age keeps falling for it, and they must've played hundreds of times against each other. 🤣
^^ even with 0.25 speed you can't see if the serve from Ma Long is with the backhand or cutted with a spin from the forehand 🤔🧐
😮

Waldner fooling Vladamir twice😂😂😂😂
Two best types of serves: Killer serve Third ball attack serve
See, this is when it should be served similar to tennis, opposite corner to serve to no down the lines...
💪👍🏓😁✌️
Can a player blocks the visibility of the ball at the time of serving? When the ball is served below the arm pit the player does not see the ball clearly. Therefore what is the validity of the principle that the ball must be held on the palm? Contradiction?

Tbh although all the serves look amazing, only Ma Long's and Ma Lin's are legal. Ove Waldner's contact point is obviously hidden. I love Ding Ning's rev tomahawk serves alot. But there is a reason why she switched to normal pendulum serve. Cuz she received alot of controversy whether she tossed the ball high enough, not to mention in some cases she almost dropped the ball instead of tossing. Same with Asuka's, the ball is not tossed high enough

Oh and btw Ma Longs serves definitely arent 100% legal either. If you look closely you can See that He gives the ball spin when throwing it up. Plus he also hits the ball very close to his body which very likely hides the contact point as well. A lot of top players so this actually
It's illegal to hide the ball with your arm.

The secret to returning is predicting where it will go and returning it after half a bounce in a unpredictable direction.
