Table tennis serve is the only technique that is not affected by the opponent and has the most room to play. A good serve can not only create opportunities for the offense, but even score points directly. Think about it, ideally you can get two points in your own serve round, then at least you can guarantee that you will not lose. This also fully illustrates the extreme importance of serving technique in table tennis. Modern table tennis technology has a simple and effective, confusing hooker serve, which is a scoring weapon that table tennis enthusiasts should master.
Hook hand serves belong to the reverse rotation class of sharp backhands. Taking the right hand shooting as an example, after the hook hand serves, the opponent is very likely to return the ball to his own backhand position, which is a long serve that the player with a strong backhand likes. For example, Wang Hao and Liu Shiwen mostly use hookers to serve. Therefore, the position of the hook hand serve is very large, you can serve in the side position, the middle line, and even the forehand position, and then you can use the backhand to grab the attack.
Hooker serves are simple, effective and confusing. Serves can be long and short, up and down. The most common hooker serve is the ball with side rotation in the downward rotation. This kind of ball will have a strong upward momentum after bouncing on the opponent's table and obviously turn out to the left side of the opponent (taking the right hand to hold the serve as an example), and if you are not careful, the ball will miss from the head of the racket, which is a very effective serve.
Hook hand serve points (take the right hand to shoot the ball as an example):
1. Standing position
Usually standing in the backhand position sideways hook hand serve, of course, after proficiency can choose to stand in the midline position or forehand position to serve.
2. Force part
Hooker serves don't focus on the wrist like other serves. Hooking hands requires the coordinated force of the whole body, arms and wrists. Therefore, when throwing the ball, you should throw the ball close to your body in order to exert the combined force of the rotation.
3. Preparation for action during the throwing of the ball
After the ball is thrown, the body is thrown upwards, and there is a forward momentum movement at the waist, while the large arm drives the forearm to the right rear of the body. When the ball is to be rotated, the wrist should be properly relaxed and raised; when the spin is to be sent, the wrist should be properly tightened downwards. When throwing the ball and pulling the hand, the beat type is generally adjusted to a vertical surface, which can confuse the opponent and help cover up the rotation of the serve.
4. Serve
When the ball is thrown, the waist turns to the left, while the forearm drives the large arm from the right back of the body to the right front of the shovel. (It's a bit of a detour here, because the body rotates in the process of serving, so the difference between left and right is based on the body as a reference.) When the racket touches the ball, the body, arms, and feet release power at the same time.
If the downward spinning ball should be sent to contact the ball at the bottom of the ball, the arm should be sent forward and downward, and the wrist should be shaken downwards, so as to create the downward spinning ball; if the upward spiral ball should be in the middle of the ball to contact the ball, the arm should be forward to the trend, and the wrist is shaken upwards, in order to create the upper spinning ball. Regardless of whether the ball is rotated up or down, the hooker serve has a pronounced side rotation, making it more difficult to judge and handle.
