Table Tennis Serve
Serving
Pedja Maric Asked 12 years ago
Hi, Jeff and Alois
Recently I have discussed with Jeff about choosing a table tennis rubber. And something occurred to me about my blade. I have, as I mentioned Tibhar Samsonov Alpha, designed with cooperation of Vladimir Samsonov himself. I have seen you demonstrated in your videos serves of Ma Lin, Hu Shi Wen, Par Geller, etc. Can you show me the specifics of Vladimir Samsonov's serve, I find it very effective and would like it to try.
Best regards

Hi Pedja,
He is one of my favourite players to watch serve. We have an Ask the Coach response for Premium members already.

Well, Alois, we both agree he has a great serve, it is very unusual, and complex for me to perform. I am not still a premium member, if I become, I will certainly watch the video.
