Trick your opponents with service deception (with Craig Bryant)

In this video, top coach and service expert, Craig Bryant, explains how to cause utter confusion by using deceptive serves.
This is where your service action looks like topspin, but the spin is actually backspin. Or your service action looks like backspin, but the spin is actually topspin.
If your opponent misreads the spin, then you can win a cheap point or get a very weak return for an easy 3rd ball attack.
In the video, Craig explains how to create backspin deception, topspin deception and sidespin deception. He also explains how to keep the deception realistic and discusses the importance of being unpredictable.

[@eloimumford5247]

i have not a super-vision , i found the practical/easiest respond is attacking the ball to kill the spin thus impose my own ...practice is the secret ingredient .Thanks Craig&Tom.

[@robertplatttTT]

Truly amazing spin deception on serves, If only I could emulate them !. Great video from the "master" of serves, please keep them coming.

[@yunghanhuang8188]

I didn't get it last year, after 1 year I come back it makes sense now

[@phil2877]

Great vid. Use of shoulders is key as well, particularly on quick serves to the corner.

[@MarcelSM01]

Another gr8 video, will take me awhile to even get those services as shown here, even without the deception.

[@MK-tb2si]

Amazing video Tom and Craig i would love to see even more killer serves from Craig and you.

[@saishvi1]

Nice tips. Thanks

I think I would hate to play against Craig. It would humble me for sure. Great video :)

Thanks a lot!!!

[@nightlightoasis]

Can you guys talk about different and the best ways to slice the ball, especially for different kinds of returns?

How to read Craig byrant serves: Step 1: buy a magnifying glass in amazon Step 2: if you still get tricked, make sure you’ve receipt for the refund from amazon 👍👍

Amazing

[@endirochandi9024]

Its great serve

[@wolfgangbecher4906]

I think it takes a lot of time and talent to master those complex kind of movements. It is by far not as easy as it seems. May be worth the effort though, resulting in opponent's mistakes giving you an edge in critical situations. I wish I had Craig's abilities, but he is a pro and I am not for a reason.

thank you♡

[@Youda00008]

I don't see the correct spin even in slow motion lol, how can i then see it in real time?

[@TomLodziak]

Pray! Ha! It is really hard. You have to watch very closely and then also watch the ball to see how it is spinning. Even then, it's still very hard!

[@dscoding9172]

I JUST LOVED THOSE SERVICES BUT WHAT HAPPENS IS SOMETIMES THE DECEPTION MOVEMENT ADDS SPIN TO THE BALL. PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO OVERCOME IT??

[@KlanBr1]

Why don't use topspin o flick spin to return all the serve Tom? I mean as the video to return serves, in the same Chanel

[@vitalnvs1351]

@Tom Lodziak could you share please Craig's equipment!? Really interesting what the blade and rubbers he uses. Thank you.

[@richardj6593]

Amazing video! I have learned the first two serves from watching the last video you did with Craig. They work perfectly! Craig, can you show how to do the backhand serves you do to get deception?

[@craigyb22]

Richard J Although it’s not my strongest serve we’ve videoed the backhand serve, so that will be coming out at some point 👍

[@cashatany5292]

In switch city is this table tennis club in the United States?

[@rosybiswas3068]

Thanks for your tips, but when we try to make the serve deceptive then we put more effort to make the spin fake than to spin the ball. I tried to make the serve deceptive but it goes as float.

[@craigyb22]

Rosy Biswas First thing is to make sure you impart the spin before you try and move off. Then slowly improve the speed of the deceptive movement.

[@user-hy9lr8vl9j]

¿Does Anyone know what is his equipment, balde and rubbers? Amazing video 🤯💥💥💥

[@phil2877]

Craig uses the Joola TPE Fight Blade and Joola Rhyzm-P Rubbers according to the Bribart TT website. I've just started using the TPE Perform, which is the slightly slower version, and it seems good.

[@kdgr]

👍🏓

[@antonyang7273]

But if you play with a good opponent, he can flick/top spin the ball regardless what kind of spin applied

[@TomLodziak]

Of course. But if your opponent mis-reads the spin, he will flick in the wrong way and make a mistake. This is why deception can be so effective.

[@jsss1489]

@@TomLodziak play fair. Stop doing this spinning stuff.

Now create a video on how to read those service deceptions

[@MrBarrynicholas]

I thought the ball had to go straight up from a flat hand, not in and arc.

[@eloimumford5247]

Can Craig shows us how to fight back those unreadable serves ...this way Tom will start to beat You ...trying is winning !

[@zevlibin8892]

also, what makes these serves tricky is the fact that you can't see the contact

[@jgutsch168]

[@ravik2082]

Do international players use deceptive serve ? I never saw .. does anyone .. However Craig is master of deceptive service .. 👌

[@hydemir11]

Hard to see

[@Geno_Whirl]

I’ve seen even world top players receive a serve and the ball just skyrockets to be smashed or just falling off the table directly. It can definitely happen and not too rare.

[@Franky_1974]

Very good video again. :-) But I don`t like "serve cheaters" because I can`t read the kind of the spin and make a lot of mistakes to play back the ball. Sometimes the serve is so fast, that you can´t see the contact point of the ball and react not correctly. How can I learn to read the serves much better?

[@TIEWCINDY]

Long and fast serve?

[@Franky_1974]

@@TIEWCINDY The movement of the cricket befor contacting the ball is almost very fast and then I don`t know, which spin is in the ball. Doesn`t matter if it is a long or short serve.

[@user-lp1im3nt6x]

@@Franky_1974 Watch the ball spinning and if it is gettin faster or slower : slower= backspin faster = top spin side= sidespin

[@Franky_1974]

@@user-lp1im3nt6x Thanks for the hint. I will open my eyes while watching the serve and the speed/direction of the ball. :-)

[@TIEWCINDY]

And you gotta really focus on the contact point and react fast and correctly

[@nikodemczapka420]

Are you from poland???

[@TomLodziak]

From UK, but my grandfather was Polish.

[@TIEWCINDY]

I would prefer doing no spin deception which looks similar to a backspin serve

doesn't help us without real slow motion playback please

[@starking1187]

Anyone in the comments section can read his serves raise your hand ✋

[@TIEWCINDY]

Must be really tricky to read ...

[@TIEWCINDY]

Has Craig used these serves in national tournaments? If yes was it successful?

[@craigyb22]

This is my main serve that I use. For me it’s been successful at National and International Level. Normally, if I’m playing a higher level player than myself, it’s the rest of my game that lets me down! 😕

[@TIEWCINDY]

@@craigyb22 wow wasn't expecting you to reply:)

티구매방법

[@jazzman1954]

Sometimes I think we should return to hard simple bats with little or no spin. It would make the game more of a sport and less about this kind of slightly devious trickery.

[@globetrotter8556]

He threw the ball side ward, not straight up. That’s illegal!

[@TomLodziak]

The toss has to be "near vertically". It's a vague rule. Many pro players toss the ball like Craig.
