Hi, Jeff and Alois

Recently I have discussed with Jeff about choosing a table tennis rubber. And something occurred to me about my blade. I have, as I mentioned Tibhar Samsonov Alpha, designed with cooperation of Vladimir Samsonov himself. I have seen you demonstrated in your videos serves of Ma Lin, Hu Shi Wen, Par Geller, etc. Can you show me the specifics of Vladimir Samsonov's serve, I find it very effective and would like it to try.

Best regards

Hi Pedja,

He is one of my favourite players to watch serve.  We have an Ask the Coach response for Premium members already.

No Spin Serve

It may sound like a bad idea but the no spin serve can be effective when put together with a range of spin serves. In fact, this is a must have in your arsenal of serves.

The question Alois is talking about is How to do the Vladimir Samsonov serve?

Well, Alois, we both agree he has a great serve, it is very unusual, and complex for me to perform. I am not still a premium member, if I become, I will certainly watch the video.
