[@tonyping3678]

Good tutorial. Another tip may be looking at the logo of the ball to see how much spin there is whether it’s heavy spin or a no spin serve.

[@niklaskras5498]

@@tonyping3678 hard to really get the amount of spin that way especially on long serves. but helps for short/slow and float serves

[@NinjaWarriorFanclub]

Thank you so much for These Tipps 👍That will Help me a Lot in Matches ‼️ I'm returning the Most serves to passive now i can read this serves early enough ‼️🥳💪 Because of this Video i can be ready for suprising and difficult serves 🔥 Thank you Guys you're Doing a great Job 💪❗

[@JoshuaGrahl]

Sometimes, the opponent puts so much spin on it, that you actually can’t attack it or take it early. So yeah sometimes you have to wait a little bit for the ball.. all in all good tips I’m gonna keep an eye on the racket angle now, when I receive the serves.

[@NinjaWarriorFanclub]

@@JoshuaGrahl yes Normaly i can't read the Ball before He have Hit it and then i Look at the Ball and know the Spin very well but i can't Attack or Return very difficult for the opponent. In Matches i will remember These Tips and can Attack fast/ Long very good🤗❗

[@jmlainez]

One tip: if you can read the brand of the ball, there's no spin on the serve.

[@yesnt3900]

i knew that but thnx

[@cuongtkong58]

Yeah, and if you can see the ball . . . you're not blind.

[@slavetislamic1957]

hahahah

[@solitaryrvenge2345]

lol

[@percevalzinzin5983]

And if you can't read the brand on the ball, trash the ball

This is the most useful guidance for return of serves I have ever watched. Thank you so much for sharing such precious information.

Thank you! We spent a lot of time thinking about the important elements of returning a serve, glad you like it 😀🏓

Tip #6: use long pips

Yes lmao😂🤣😂

Hope this helps Gustavo. Remember a lot of serves do come long 💪

@@TableTennisDaily yup, for sure! Thanks for the tips!

[@connorpowell9894]

Unexpected but extremely helpful

[@TableTennisDaily]

Thanks Connor 💪

[@Lord_9_Six_IV]

Great tips as usual! Some players when they can't handle a serve have the intention to go closer to the table. And try to catch the serve earlier but are so close they don't have time to decide topspin, flip or push. I normally advise them to take a half step back especially on heavy spin serves. Moving forward on a serve is easier then moving backwards. Thanks for sharing Dan and Tom!

[@konstantin6567]

Another tip: Return long services a bit later, because the ball has less spin with time. Great video 👍🏼

[@Spinspiel]

It's important to mention listening to the contact sound of the blade on ball in addition to visual cues. Soft contact is usually spinny and loud sound is usually fast and generally topspin.

[@TheGazBass]

Is that why players stamp their feet on contact, to mask the sound?

[@RobertoCostas]

@@TheGazBass It's one of the reasons. Another one can be weight transfer.

[@MrASETPresident]

Hi Tom & Dan, Thanks for this very useful & helpful video lesson. Returning serve is one of the most difficult skills in TT. It will benefit to many lesser experience players to enjoy the sport. Thanks. 👍🏓

[@murtuzaarbaz2321]

Situation gets tricky people hide their elbow until they make contact with the ball. Like having body covering up your racket and elbow positions, they will toss the ball near their making the toss visible, making the contact visible with the racket (makes the service legal), it's becomes harder to judge the amount of spin on the ball. Also I learned few points through this video, thanks a lot.

[@typeosign5094]

Great tip about aiming where the opponent’s racket started its swing. Nice additional way to think about counteracting the spin. Love this channel. Thanks!

[@megamasterblogs]

Great tips, I have never thought about the height of the elbow. :)

[@Topgunindia]

yeah me neither, i always kept an eye on the bat angle. this could be useful for simpler serves . howeverm you could have a flat elbow and drop the wrist to confuse people. ultimately it is the angle of the racket with respect to the ball that counts.

[@biggenius5322]

I thought table tennis is about smashing the ball. I thought there are no tactics and strategies.

[@ttjesus4959]

@@TableTennisDaily Serve RETURN and following your own serves with 3rd ball attacks are the keys, I'd say. Your serves can be average, as long as you're great at following them with attacks on the 3rd or 5th balls. You can nullify your opponent's top tier serves with great returns too, and that stops their 3rd or 5th ball attacks from being strong. In fact, it allows you to get in the first attack more often also. This is the plastic ball era. Serves were the key in the celluloid days because great returns couldn't really nullify great serves. You could actually win points on the serve a lot more often, which meant that you could feasibly try to go for points right from your serve. You didn't have to be as great at 3rd ball attacks because serve returns weren't as good. Also, it was less likely that the returner would get in the first attack. So yeah, serves were the key back then. But, I don't agree that they are now.

[@bloodfowl4719]

I am a penholder in table tennis but my coach tells me to play with shake hand grip. Due to my penhold, i often flick the back cause its like an easy offense for a short ball and the reaction time of the opponent needs to be up to date with the speed cause of the variation of rubber speed now a days

[@Markuel]

Thanks

[@bloodfowl4719]

Whatever it is: backspin, topspin, sidespin i am usually more on with a flick since it makes the opponent struggle a lot

[@bhaveshmahajanchess]

u dont mention about look at the curve off the ball when touch the table...ball reaction to table also can help

[@Aditya-l9f]

I wanted to ask something.. Table Tennis Daily Where is your campus located Actually i know it is in England (if i am not wrong) but, where in England I would be too pleased if you answer this👍

[@taureanlloyd925]

Dan has nightmares about that kicker serve

[@vasyapozniak407]

What shoes do you have?

[@sodamnhyphy6246]

the high level players are too damn good at disguising their serves lol. A lot of wrist action that is very difficult to detect

[@TableTennisDaily]

Yes as the level goes up players get better as disguising their serves. Focus on the contact and bat angle 🔥

[@-danR]

Not only that, but this video is telling 33,000+ low-level players (including whoever is reading this comment right now) exactly what to do to make their serves exactly the opposite of what Dan and Tom are telling us to read what we think the serve is. Eg. I will now practice making strong backspin with my elbow _high._ And, I will serve down the line with a strong body twist, because that body twist tells my opponent the serve is going to his _forehand._

[@artnandavns]

@@-danR good luck dude hope u become an international player

[@lani9loo]

What would have been good to see was for you to break down the serves you struggled with as you showed in the video highlights and why. Using these videos as visual aids and why you struggled, as these are real world examples and better than fabricating it in the studio. Just an observation. Other than that great tips and vid.

why do you say "against the spin" when you're returning serves with same-direction spin?

U know what’s funny is I play eleven table tennis vr and meet people who have impossible serves to return but it’s funny cause I’m on the side of the impossible serves

[@washnery]

More tip: simply repeat the oponent movement to return the service.

[@pragyanbaranwal7694]

5th to comment

[@Rog5446]

There's no difference if the elbow is high or low, as back or side spin can still be imparted by the wrist.

Random question do you like unicorns 🦄

[@TableTennisDaily]

Love them 🦄🦄🦄

[@jasper8368]

The hardest serve to return is the backspin half long which the second bounce is 1cm behind the white line. I totally can't return it because it's hard to push short and difficult to attack. Also because I wouldn't want to damage my racket so I always have problems with that serve.

[@divinentd]

Fast backspin in general, whether half-long or long, is tough because it's so uncommon, definitely a serve I need to learn myself.
