Plato said: "A good start is half the success." If it is in the field of table tennis, it can be said: "A good serve is half the victory of the game." Looking back at the five "Grand Slams" in the history of men's table tennis, Waldnell , Liu Guoliang, Kong Linghui, Zhang Jike and Ma Long, each of them are masters of serving.
For table tennis events, the scores of the serving directly are the same as those of the scores scored by the ten-point board, both are 1 point, but the energy consumed is very different. In addition, serving is the only technology that is not restricted by opponents in the table tennis event, and it is also a technology that can be practiced without the help of opponents (people/service machines). Practicing the serving is also of great help to deepen the understanding of rotation and improve the butt serving technology.
Therefore, I think that serving is the most cost-effective technique for amateur golfers and even professional players, and it is worth investing a considerable amount of time to ponder and practice. The following are some of the steps and tips for practicing serving that I have summarized and summarized. I hope it will be helpful to the ball friends.
Step 6: Practice a standardized and stable ball throwing. was easily overlooked by football friends in the past, but as the International Table Tennis Federation's penalty for serving rules became more and more strict, even the national table tennis team was repeatedly punished by referees and even the Hawkeye system for serving violations, basically because the angle of the throwing ball was not vertical enough or suspected of blocking the serve. As amateur fans, we usually hate those illegal serves when we play games. As the saying goes, "Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you." When we practice serving, we must be standardized and stable.
specification is to avoid violations, and a stable throwing is the basis for practicing accurate serve. The key points of standardized and stable ball throwing movements are as follows: spread the palm flat, slightly higher than the table, place the ball still in the palm of your hand, and push the ground with force with both legs. The body drives the arm to throw the ball upwards. The height away from the palm is not less than 16 cm. Try to go straight up and down as much as possible. The ball cannot touch anything before being thrown out, and do not block the opponent's sight.
It should be emphasized that the reason why many golfers throw the ball is not stable enough, the ball throwing arc is high and low, and the landing point is front and back because they throw the ball with their fingers or use too much force on their forearms and wrists. If the throwing ball is unstable, the hitting point when serving is difficult to accurately determine, and the quality of the serving is not guaranteed. A good ball throw must be mainly based on the force of the waist and legs. The arm uses the power of the waist and legs to "send" the ball upwards, which requires special attention.
Step 2, practice sending a flat shot and hitting a long ball. The key point for mastering the long ball of flat shots is: the hitting point should be as close as possible to your own end line, the board shape should be bright when hitting the ball, and the direction of force should be mainly from behind to front. During the practice, you must practice the three routes, left, middle and right. The longer the jump drop point (try to get close to the opponent's end line), the faster the ball speed, the better.
The reason why the long ball of the flat shot is used as the introductory action of serving technique is the following: first, the flat shot serve is mainly impacted, which is easy to cultivate the feel of serving; second, the long ball serve requires a little force, which is easier to help the ball player experience the exchange of center of gravity; third, during the practice, you can establish a sense of landing point and route.
Step 3, practice sending flat and hitting short balls. exercise requirements: Control the second jump and do not release it, and the landing point should be as close to the end line/edge line as possible. You must practice the three areas of forehand short ball, backhand small triangle, and middle short ball. Focus on realizing that the hitting point is basically flush with the net height, control the first landing point of the ball in the middle of your own ball table, use the center of gravity to lower the arc, so that the ball can just cross the net but not touch the net.
The advantage of practicing flat hitting short balls is that it can strengthen the feel of the impact and enhance the control of your own force. The short serve is not released to avoid allowing the opponent to attack with high quality; the second jump is close to the end line/side line, which increases the difficulty of the opponent's judgment of billiards in half, and makes it easier for the opponent to receive and serve, which is conducive to his own attack.
Step 4, practice sending pure lower spin balls. This step of is a key technical threshold: from experiencing impact to experiencing friction, once you go over, it will be like a fish leaping on the dragon gate and entering a new world.If you can make the ball very turn, you will be better than half of your amateur golfers. One of the greatest charms of table tennis is that it is a rotating art.
In order to better overcome this hurdle, I suggest everyone start from three aspects: the first aspect is to understand the principle of friction creating rotation in their minds. Simply put, friction-making rotation means that the force direction of the racket should be deviated from the center of the ball as much as possible, and convert the kinetic energy of the racket into the rotation potential energy of the table tennis ball. The second aspect is to experience the feeling of "relaxing" the body. Finding the feeling of "leisure" like a swing is better for coordinated force when serving. The third aspect is to experience the feeling of instant force on your fingers and wrists. To put it more vividly, we found the feeling of "waving" when we were childhood and "filling" the ball out, and the ball will naturally be able to be rotated. How to test the effect of
is also very intuitive, it is to send a short lower spin ball on the forehand position. If the shot ball can rebound to the front of the net along the U-shaped trajectory, it means that the ball's rotation strength is enough. There are many videos and dynamic pictures of Ma Lin practicing "devil serving" on the Internet, you can search and take a look.
Step 5: Practice the redirection or not to serve the ball + the side upper side and lower serving routine. After mastered the mystery of friction creating rotation, everyone can basically learn from one example and understand it all. It is very natural to transition from downward rotation to other rotations. At this point, the intensity of rotation is not the main goal we pursue. We need to practice this step with practical purposes. Our goal is: be able to deceive one is one!
The reason why it is recommended to rotate or not + serve routine combinations of side, upper and lower sides is because the preparation movements of these two sets of serve are almost the same, making it easier to use similar movements to send out balls with very different rotations. Under the rules of serving without obstruction, the more changes the rotation of your serve, the longer the opponent's adaptation process will be. The key point of this step of practice lies in the precise control of the details such as the hit point and force direction. For example, when the serve is not rotated, pay attention to the difference in the rotation of the serve at different positions such as the slap head, sweet area, and shoulder; when serving on the upper and lower sides, pay attention to the understanding of whether the raft is "buckle" forward and lower, or "hook" sideways...
Step 6, add one set to two sets of serve changes. has reached this point, and you are already a serving expert. You just need to choose one or two sets of N multiple serving routines such as reverse rotation serving, hook serving, backhand serving, straight back serving, high throw serving, chopping serving... according to your preferences, as the "trump card" to get rid of the difficulties of the game and quickly pull the score open. Given the time and energy of amateur golfers, I personally recommend that this type of supplementary auxiliary serve should be more refined than too much.
Step 7, practice serving and attacking routine. has reached this point and has entered the ultimate form of practicing serving skills. Under the unblocked serve rules, the probability of serving directly scored is greatly reduced, but high-quality attacks can put huge pressure on the opponent when receiving serves, making it easier for us to serve and score. At this time, our serving idea should shift from direct scores to high-quality attack and manufacturing opportunities in the third board, which is the "top three boards" technology passed down by our national table tennis team. The focus of this step of exercise is: First, combine the actual combat to summarize the rules, strengthen the prediction of the return ball landing point, move ahead of time according to the predicted position, and make preparations for hitting the ball at the same time during the movement; Second: Master the difference between downspin and topspin of rushing; Third: Master the difference between short balls and long balls.
or above are some of my superficial opinions on practicing serving. If there are any inappropriate points, please criticize and correct them.
