We often receive really encouraging emails from readers. Here is one from Aashish.
Hi Alois/Jeff,
I have been a passive visitor of your website (pingskills) for over a month. I have been following your training videos very closely and have learnt a lot about the game and how to play strokes more effectively and technically.

Training Secrets RevealedOut now

Thanks to Andrew for providing us with some feedback on our new Training Secrets Revealed DVD.
Hi, thanks for the Training Secrets DVD, received today. I must say you have put a lot into this one!! Well done. There is enough to keep me training for years on this! Nice to see the […]

I just purchased Serving Secrets Revealed (the download version). The download process went very smoothly, no problems at all.
Excellent!
Thanks

Your serving DVD lessons really work. As a recreational “basement” player I was able to do quite well against a much better opponent at a local Table Tennis club. Thanks for bringing me and my family great enjoyment of the game with your easy to understand and thorough lessons.

I just came across your videos on YouTube and they are absolutely wonderful!
I teach art at a a small high school in Northern California. I’ve always been an avid recreational player and I recently donated my old table to our school. The table became so popular that another teacher, Cameron Layton, wrote a grant and […]

Thank you guys for teaching me these lessons on the internet. They are very helpful because now I am beating all my room mates at Table Tennis

Wow thanks a lot. I went to look at the spin on the floor and then brought it back to the table and my serve moves way more and is moving more consistently. Your site and videos have helped me so much i’ve gotten so much better in the last month after discovering Ping […]

I received the DVD in the mail today. It looks good - you’ve managed to include a lot of material in those 50 minutes. The breakdown of the pendulum and reverse pendulum serves might alone be worth the price of admission. I have found it hard, so far, to figure out the […]

I am very happy with the video which helped me a lot. I painted the half of a ball and started practising on the floor as you recommend. Now I can get pretty good serves on the table with much spin that is what I like best.
My best serves are the pendulum and backhand (backspin […]

I received the DVD. Very impressed with the quality of explanation and it has already changed the way I practice. Thanks again.

The DVD is simply the best compared to other serving DVD’s.
Your points, of listing the requirements for each serve is helpful.
Alois, I especially like your segment on the web site “Ask the coach” and
the availability for people to have their techniques, game etc. analysed.
I hope more and more people visit the Pingskills web site.
Keep up […]

To give you some feed back on latest serving dvd. Okay well I have watched it a few times now and from a learning aid point of view its second to none. The steps in each section are well highlighted and can be watched with ease without getting you twisted in knots. […]

Frankly, I am very much impressed with the presentation of the material which exudes so much clarity that even a beginner could understand and absorb the substance without difficulty. Especially, the use of the spindle and wheel with a clock-face to show the direction was an excellent concept to demonstrate a point. […]

I received the DVD in the mail today - had a quick look and it looks great - I particularly like the slow motion. I know I need to practise for a while first but I might try to slip the odd pendulum in at pennant tonight. I’ll let you know how it goes!!!

Great video. Looks like you had some fun making this –trying out
different things. Together, they worked well.
I liked:
the “secret” whispering style towards the end,
the use of section headings and recap points with their music,
the use of the spin meter,
the slow movement simulations of the strokes,
the demonstration of the amount of spin […]

Received the DVD yesterday - watched it last night and got a lot out of it - finally understand how to serve the reverse pendulum serve which I struggle to handle when returning against better players so it looks like I’ve got a bit of practice ahead of me.
I was excited to watch. Your DVD […]

As I mentioned earlier, I was able to do proper pure backspin pendulum
serves (following Jeff’s model) during my first table tennis session after
watching the Secrets DVD. I made sure to watch the DVD again before my
second session, and this time something just clicked and I was able to
also do effective sidespin (and to a […]

I’ve received your DVD a few days ago. I’ve watched it many times and first tried some strokes. Then I trained to do a reverse pendulum serve. After the wonderful experience that it worked I tried many other things you explain on the DVD.
I love your concept to keep the things simple.
In the past […]

Serving Secrets Revealed has been out and about. We have received some great feedback from some of our customers.

Played my first competitive match last night ( Summer League ) since the DVD arrived. Won 2 from 2 . Never had a clue before how to serve with top-spin , practiced a few times & […]

Hi Alois and Jeff

I received the Serving Secrets DVD today and just finished watching it Thanks! I thought I’d just quickly give my feedback.

This is by far the best, most useful guide to serving I have seen to date. There was plenty for me to think about and I can’t wait for my next table […]

I play table tennis at my neighbor’s place once a week. It’s outdoors, but that’s not a big problem because we enjoy it so much. I’m starting to realize it’s a great sport and I just stumbled upon your site and appreciate the instruction. Through playing regularly I have developed skills that I don’t know […]

This awesome coaching needs to be promoted more! It’s the clearest coaching all over the web. I love the video lessons and it is fantastic that you now have them available on DVD. Keep up the great work.
