Hi alois,
I've been looking through some games on youtube and in olympic, but i came up with this question.
When you see ma long, zhang jike or ma lin serve, i cant see them do any effect on the opponent. They just push it or flish it back with hardly any energy. But i'm pretty sure the top players have excellent serves, is it just that the other persons racket is anti spin or long pips
thanks
PS, thanks for the previous answrs, they very helped
Hi Mat,
The better players make it look like the serves have no spin on them. They are using high quality fast rubber and definitely not anti spin or long pimples.
That is what more than 10 years of many hours per day gives you.
