Actually, I have seen you doing this return a lot of times, but I just never analysed it this way, thank you so much Timo, love your content.

[@advit2110]

Thank you Timo Boll😊

[@GATOtyger]

Very interesting, especially for those players who always chop under the ball with underspin and return high balls due to the side spin for the opponent's third ball attack.

[@cenksozer4214]

Thats why I always flick

[@cenksozer4214]

But sometimes its so hard to backhand spin especially on fast spinny balls coming to yout elbow

[@PakWisnu]

Awasome video as always! Thx and keep it up.. always waiting for next

Many years of watching Timo videos playing, and _now_ I recognize that service-return. I never even thought about it.

[@jyothibanno2053]

Thanks Timo Boll for making such a useful video. I personally really wanted to know how you receive this short .

[@philippk.0658]

Deine Rückschlagtechnik finde ich sowieso beeindruckend: du schaffst es oft, auch bei starken Seit- oder Unterschnittbällen nicht zu stark unter oder seitlich am Ball vorbei zu gehen, sondern das Schlägerblatt relativ gerade zu lassen. Sehr genial, kann mich sich enorm viel davon abgucken!!!

Very very helpful. I play rather defensive and try to keep pressure away so I can get into my attack, with long pips on backhand, too. This return fits my playstyle so well. Thanks Timo✌️👏

[@amarsingh9973]

Thank you Timo.. you’re a legend

[@marek546]

Perfect video, perfect tip Timo. One more recommendation for players- play this short hit closer to the your handgrip(on your racket) , it will have less energy and your receive will be shorter. Marek

[@josephchow42]

This is a great move! really diversified pace of my receive game against heavy top-side spin serves. they can no longer just lurk in the back hand corner to counter my long returns! (I play left hand against a dominant right-handed group of friends). Thanks a lot Coach Timo

[@OSCAR29ify]

Thank you for your great input. Can you please show us how to do the same technique when receiving from the backend. Thanks in advance

I actually started doing this instinctually in response to my brother-in-law's sidespin serve. I can't get it as short as you though!

[@ichiroakuma7311]

You really need this return when facing a strong player who can loop any long return. You have to return his/her serve short.

[@abdulhameed2316]

[@3amwanderer880]

Hi Timo ! inspirational as always ! thanks for teaching us amateur player a lot of useful skills in table tennis. as i think the aim of your channel is to allow amateur player to up their game with some pro tips. However, IMO, I think there are two main reasons of what makes a pro player pro and a amateur player stay amateur, which contributes to the difference in the quality of coaching and the difference in the quality of training partner. well, it is seemingly impossible for amateur player to get a session from Jörg Roßkopf lol. therefore, it will be great to have some of your insights regarding the pros and cons of a table tennis machine. thxxx :)

[@nnamdichrisume9384]

As a leftie I will definitely try to copy your service return movement and add it to my arsenal👍

[@ekarter1981]

@@timoboll8381 Sure, Timo! I will try it this week💪 By the way, I sent you my "coffee" address on Instagram and email in April. Did you see that?

[@ekarter1981]

@@timoboll8381 Tried this receive method an hour ago. Of course, missed a lot of shots - it obviously takes much more practice. For me it's easier to find right angle for side-top spin serve than for side-back spin serve. So, will keep practice! One more thing - to make close to the net (drop short) receive one need to have ball's contact point close to handle of the racket - near rubber model name. It's visible from your tutorial but in my opinion, it's useful additional small tip for us if you mentioned it in video:)

Great tip. Particular for left handed players like my self ;-) I just tried the technique using my robot and it works to give more control. also it can give a nice curve to the service return as a bonus. Next step is to use it in my matches tomorrow :-)

[@phtabletennisvlog4473]

Thank you Timo for the video. This is very helpful. Can you also show how it's done if the ball goes to the backhand side?

[@AA-rc4zr]

Hi Timo, Thanks for the tips. Would you say you have an unorthodox grip? When I was learning to play I spend frustrating hours trying to “correct” my grip that according to the coach needed correcting. As hard as I tried, my new grip never felt comfortable. As the result I constantly had to second guess myself. I must add here that this coach was a world class chines woman player. How important is it to have a “perfect” grip? Many aspects of my grip (before the attempted corrections) looked very similar to yours. Just imagine how far I could have gone if I had continued with my original grip.

Thanks Timo!

[@angelobannout9992]

Danke, für mich als (bisher noch) schwacher Rückschläger immer toll, solche Tipps zu bekommen. Ich hätte allerdings eine Frage. Als Rechtshänder, wenn ich mit der Vorhand retourniere und wie du den Schläger beim Rückschlag in Richtung Vorhand bewege, würde ich bei der gleichen Bewegung den Spin doch mitnehmen und den Ball eher beschleunigen, da ich ja in entgegengesetzter Richtung als du auf den Spin reagiere? Wie würdest du das lösen? Mit der Rückhand (äquivalent zu deinem Vorhandreturn) zurückschlagen oder doch in entgegengesetzter Richtung mit der Vorhand? Liebe Grüße

[@timoboll8381]

Diese Technik funktioniert natürlich nur, wenn du den Spin aus dem Rückschlag nehmen kannst. Das gleiche mit der Rückhand zu versuchen, würde ich nicht empfehlen

[@angelobannout9992]

@@timoboll8381 Ich verstehe, also würde sich dieser Return zum Beispiel (bei 2 Rechtshändern) gut als Reaktion auf gegnerische Rückhandsidespinaufschläge anbieten. Danke für die Antwort :)

Interestingvideo Timo! How would that work with backhand, as a right hand receiver?

[@rrahul8585]

Was just thinking the same lmao

[@anchormustermann4911]

Very difficult with Backhand IMHO as your wrist can't adjust so finely.

[@cenksozer4214]

I think backhand against spinny pendulum serves are so risky,I prefer going with forehand spin

[@cenksozer4214]

And I think against left hand players thid tactic is working perfect! I have 2 good players in my team as lefty

[@filipmaksimovic1640]

I only have to ask one more question, u bought a new racket, and i bought timo boll black from butterfly and it is Really weird, i can only do 2 types oh attacks, a fast one without any spin and a very spinny one without any speed, there is no combination, everytime i try to change my playstyle i Miss the table And i play table tennis everyday with my friends so i am in pretty good shape. So my question is: What do you do to get that sweet combination of spin and speed?

[@fynnweiler7660]

@@filipmaksimovic1640 you need Training. What you have is a beginner Racket. You have a slow Racket with a lot of control. Beginners need that to learn the techniques better. Timo has a lot faster Racket and more grippy and faster rubbers. Of course timo can produce more spin and speed. He also trained it for years. You have to Practice with a coach and After times of good Training and improving skills you can go to a Material seller and get advises about new Material in combination with your play style.

@@fynnweiler7660 so you are basically saying i am too good for my racket, well that's a shame, and I am no rookie I play table tennis for 1 year with no breaks every day or every other day. Plus i train on every monday wednesday and friday with a trainer so....

[@fynnweiler7660]

@@filipmaksimovic1640 i dont know how good you are. If you train so much and you hit the Ball with an good technique and it comes on the table you can think about new Material (but not too fast. You have to steps in terms of Racket speed). If you have a seller of all brands of table tennis blades and rubbers you should go there to get advises. So you can try out almost everything and look what fits best

[@brunoamsantana]

Amazing

[@IgneelS11]

Pro Tip: Play Timos videos mirrored to see correct movements for right hand players.

[@voberle]

Isn't it less useful for a rightie returning against a rightie? The classic pendulum serve will have the spin going towards you, so it doesn't work so easily to cancel the spin, or what am I missing?

[@timoboll8381]

Yes, normal sidespin if left vs left or right vs. right won't work with these special technique
