Ma Long's serve
Serving
Xariuz Cruz Asked 12 years ago
Hi Pingskills! Recently I've watch some videos about Ma Long in tournaments. I'm confuse with his serve. His arm movement look like a pendulum serve but his wrist movement is like a reverse pendulum serve

Hi Xariuz,
Sometimes at the end of his service action he moves his hand the other way to give the deception of a Reverse serve. But you will notice that the ball still moves like a Pendulum serve because he hits it before he makes that fake motion.

Variation of Spin
Varying the spin on your serve makes it harder to return. You can vary the type of spin but possibly even more effective is varying the amount of spin.

You in some other posts told that such a deception is not allowed. It is the bad camera angle that makes us view such deceptions. Then how he makes those??
Hi Chandrachur,
You aren't allowed to hide the ball from your opponent but you are allowed to use fake motions with your serve.

ma long's serve is hard
It is indeed. That is one of the reasons he is so good at this game.

Yes. Ma Long's is hard, but if you keep practicing his serve you too can do it just like I did
