Serving Practice

Ping Pong Zone - 18:02

Karel: I play against an opponent who does not practice but just plays on Sundays. He does not have a proper technique to play but somehow always manages to get the ball on the table.  I am a much more experienced player and I know my techniques are better but I am just not used to playing this kind of style. , he usually does not do any forehand topspin strokes but just waits for me to push the ball back too high and then somehow manages to shoot it the way that either I don't get it back or I get it back too high so he can continue the attacking.

Faster Backhand - 21:44

Josef: whenever i do a backhand drive or loop i am never quite satisfied with the trajectory of the ball, it always seems to have too much topspin on it with less speed and the ball seem to move like the upper part of a circle..so can you give me some advice on how to make a perfect backhand loop or drive?

Slow Third Ball - 23:28

Sasha: i am worried that my opponent will just counterattack my third ball attack if I just spin it up first.  Is it ok to just spin the first ball and then go for it on the 5th?
