From the perspective of side rotation, the rotation of the ping-pong ball is divided into left rotation and right rotation.
Take the right-hand racket as an example, we rub the ball from right to left, and the ball rotates clockwise, which is the left rotation; if we rub the ball from left to right, the ball will rotate counterclockwise, which is the right rotation.
Right-hand rotation, which we often call inverse rotation.
Many athletes are very fond of reverse rotation serves, such as Zhang Jike, Fan Zhendong, Lin Gaoyuan and so on.
In the reverse rotation serve, there is a very classic, that is, hook hand serve, like Wang Hao, Liu Shiwen uses hook hand serve more.
This article, let's talk to you about it: how to serve the hooker well?
01
Advantages of hooker serves
Personally, I feel that the advantages of hooking hands are mainly as follows:
1. The racket has a stronger sense of wrapping for table tennis
We can observe our own ping-pong racket, it is an oval shape, this ellipse has two important lines, one is from the handle to the head of the racket, this line is relatively long, the other line is perpendicular to this line, this line is relatively short.
When spinning the ball smoothly, the friction path of our racket and the ball is, this short line, and its friction route is relatively short.
And the hooker serves, we use the longer line, whether it is a horizontal board or a straight board, you can use the racket head to rub the ball, and go hard towards the racket handle, so that there is a longer friction path.
In addition, the hooker serve naturally has the advantage of angled stability, so it gives the table tennis friction is relatively strong, that is, the ball may be sent more turned!
2, can add the body, more confusing
When the hooker serves, the left and right traverse of the body's center of gravity is greater than when rotating.
The server pulls the shot back, pressing the center of gravity onto the left leg, and then moving from the left leg to the right leg, during which the racket rubs the ball out.
In this process, due to the large amplitude of the left and right exchange of the center of gravity, so you can choose to turn around and not turn around when the shot, such an advantage is that the friction between the racket and the ball is relatively hidden, there is a shielding effect but not a cover.
In this way, the serve is more confusing.

The essentials of the action of the hooker serve
1. Range of motion
Compared with the more smooth rotations we usually send, the hook hand (a kind of reverse rotation) serve can be used by the body to create a larger power space.
Therefore, when we first start practicing this serve, we must dare to make the range of movements larger and pull away.
Many golfers can't let go when doing this action, so it is recommended to practice more, and the movement can be coordinated after adding the ball.
2. Power
As mentioned earlier, hooking hands serves the ball, which requires higher requirements for the conversion of the body's center of gravity.
Specifically, when taking the shot, the left foot in the front and right foot in the back of the body naturally lean down, this is to control the arc, the body center of gravity from the right foot to the left foot shifts.
Then the center of gravity of the body goes from the right leg to the left leg, and the ball is sent out with the help of the body's force.

Methods of hooking hands to serve the ball
If there is no basis for the reverse rotation of the serve, it is recommended that you first do the action of leading the shot with your bare hands, and in this process, the amplitude of the action will be larger, and the key to clarify is whether you should throw the ball first, or should you lead the shot first!
