Hao Shuai Serve

Rob Janssen Asked 11 years ago

Hi Coach,

Ive been watching Hao Shuai vs Michael Maze WTTC 2005 and what impressed me was Hao Shuai his serve. He could get heavy backspin of a very small motion. Its like he is not even brushing the ball. Michael Maze pushed his serve into the net multiple times.

Here is a video of Hao Shuai training 3rd ball attack on a long push;

After watching this video I still dont get it so maybe you can see it?

Thanks

Hi Rob,

Rather than the amount of spin I think it is the deception between his sidespin topspin and his sidespin backspin serves.  He does a fake motion at the end of the action which makes it a little harder to tell which of these he is using.
