We decided to try out the world's fastest table tennis serve and analyze the technique behind it. As you can see from the video, it's really difficult to become consistent with the serve and get to the same level as the Japanese table tennis player Asuka Sakai (kzread.info/dash/bejne/mZp4uLqJoq-8m8o.html). Nonetheless, it was fun and interesting to try out this serve!

David Fhima , now THAT would be interesting to see... Is it easy to just put the racket and return - is the serve a good setup for a third ball attack. Maybe vary the serve with a straight serve to backhand (yes, I know, a bit slower due to the table being shorter at that angle...but the surprise!)

Yeah I think it'd be best just to put the racket out on that serve and block it back. It'd be pretty fast coming back. But I'd bet you could get a fair # of people to make errors in trying to block that. It's pretty quick. Still, they know exactly where it's going as it's corner to corner and the error % on this serve is probably high so who knows. Still interesting to test out.

The technique is to look at the opponents racket angle and estimate where the shot will hit. This works almost all the time for me since I can react fast to these types of shots/serves. I had someone perform this in a match and he did not expect me to deliver it back and I took the win. People with these serves can sometime if not all the time get very cocky.

I learnt this a long time ago, I'm super excited to see you guys using it now!

This is basically how I play my forehand in table tennis. It looks near identical to a western forehand tennis stroke (which is where I got it from). I will have to practice this a bit. I've tried it numerous times in the past with minimal success. I never thought to aim shallower in the court to maximize distance. It's such a simple elegant solution to making it consistent

I’ve meet this type of player using this serve. It’s huge serve. The best things about it is, easy to predict the ball and just need a small amount of power just to block the ball. And guess what, the return serve also is huge.

Not as fast as the speed I clicked on the notification

After attempting this movement a few times, I've come to the conclusion that the single most impressive thing about this serve is pulling it off without hurting your arm. Still, I intend to work on it, at my very amateur level I imagine it will be devastating. Especially as a variation to my primary backspin serve.

The reason why it's served with the backhand side is less to do with surprise factor and more to do with generating spin. More top spin means the ball drops down faster, which means you can serve faster for the same distance. With the backhand side, you flick your wrist "down" (faster than "up"), generating more spin. If you tried forehand, the angle you're hitting the ball would be more awkward and there would be less spin. Cheers, great video!

I love all your videos
