Xu Xin backspin serve

Thanks a video response would really help because I've been trying to teach it to my cousin

Hi Galen,

We show this in our Serving Secrets Course which is available to you as a Premium Member.  Take a look through it and let me know if it helps.

I will but It can still be difficult because xu xin very unique but your lessons are phenomenal by the way, flawless. To do a heavy backspin serve you need a spinny rubber am I right

You do need a rubber with grip.  It doesn't have to be very spinny.  Anything that has grip on its surface should allow you to generate enough backspin.

Thanks a lot Alois, I've ordered your pingskills touch bat, would it generate the backspin to come back to the net. By the way how long does it take to get here, I ordered it last Thursday 

Hi Galen,

The Rook will give yo plenty of spin to make the ball come back to you.  We just need to make sure the technique is good now.  It usually take about 6 to 10 working days to be delivered.  Hope yo enjoy it when it arrives.

Thanks Alois I'm sure I wil  enjoy it, I forgot that it was called the rook :) 

No worries.

Xu Xins serve is odd...much easier to do with penhold. Look it up on YouTube and watch it over and over again. 

Xu Xin has a strange backspin serve that I think most will find hard to emulate. His blade at point of contact almost looks flat (hitting behind the ball) and swinging downward towards the floor at high speed to get the spin. The tricky part of doing that is to keep that ball low and not float up high off the bounce. It's a tricky one. 

I'd recommend following ping skills standard backspin serve tutorial where you'll most likely come more underneath the ball and hitting it thinly. Once you've mastered that, you can being to work on angling your blade even more almost hitting on the front side of the ball for some massive backspin (aka ghost serve). But again keep it low. A lot of ghost serve tutorials out there where people have high bouncing backspin serves which is a no no.
