Zhang Jike's Reverse Pendulum Serve

[Hoàng Chinh Trump]

The point in the opponent's table when 2 players have the same dominant hand and different dominant hand?

The opponent's serve return?.

Ma Long's solution when handling this serve in the best match in table tennis history (Final 2017 World Championships)?

Why does this serve have problems with player who doesn’t have same dominant hand (Left - Right)?

Compare this serve with others which have same spin.?

Why is the serve so good that all athletes don't learn and practice? Let's watch a game between Liam Pitchford and Fan Zhendong.?

Open Discussion (Not in the video): When the soft-ball is applied from 2020 by WTT, the ball speed decreases, opponents can completely push left, flick left to race against each other when encountering a cross. ?

Thanks for creating the video. Can you change the video so it's "made for kids"? Because you've made it that way, I can't save it to a Youtube playlist.

Note that "made for kids" is meant for videos specifically directed at an audience of children. Since your video is made for everyone, you should mark it not "made for kids."

Oh I did.

I have a few opponents who specialise in doing this serve and it is indeed a very annoying serve.

Against this serve, BH chiquita is the optimal receive, especially the diagonal to the wide FH. But the footwork is difficult especially if the opponent mixes the long/short placement up.

There are other very good receives including short push back to the FH short (Ma Long's favourite), the FH flat flick to the middle or BH - very importantly this flick should come as flat and fast as possible without topspin to cause max trouble ideally with sidespin (flick with topspin is much more easy to handle), and finally a deep spinny push to the BH (always a good option if you have a good block).

The problem is the server doesn't always have to serve short, he can also sneakily serve a bit longer which reduces the stability of all your short receive strokes - identifying when it is long and when it is short can be difficult. And the half long serve can be a nightmare to loop especially if it's near the side corner of the table.

And like you mentioned, the long fast serve to the BH is always a danger once you're hyperfocused on the short FH placement.
