Ding Ning's serve

Cristh Garrido Asked 11 years ago

Hi Alois and Pingskills

i don't know if you saw this serve...here is a link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGselzWEkZI&feature=related

in the minute, 1:16; 1:37; 1:48 and more times in that match. This is the serve, my question is, can i make that serve with penhold grip?

is effective that serve?

Thanks

Hi Cristh,

This is the Reverse Tomahawk serve. I think you can do this with the penhold grip. You can use the reverse side to hit the ball.

The serve can be effective. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you. It certainly works for Ding Ning.

Hi Alois is a little complicated with penhold grip because the ball goes too high, but with a lot of effect...what i can do for that the ball goes a little bit lower???stoop like ding ning???? Thanks for the answer

Hi Cristh,

Yes getting down low will help you to get the ball lower as well. You need to be hitting the ball when it is quite low to the table. If you are standing up with that action the ball will be contacted very high and so will bounce high.
