What I like is that when you start playing, you notice all these tricky serves, but after a few years, you wonder why not so many people use them. Then you realise, they still use them, but you have got used to returning them, so they're no longer tricky serves.

Great tutorial man, greetings from Romania !

Great Content as always on serve return at basic and advanced level.
Another perspective like advanced vs basic could be backhand vs forehand. For example
how one receives a tomahawk on forehand and on backhand. Likewise for Pendulum serve, how to receive them on both sides. This would be very useful because often at amateur level we find ourselves chasing the serve because of where we were positioned and where the opponent have placed the serve. We could benefit a lot if we can get some suggestions

Grüße aus good old Germany. Hallo Craig. Ich schaue Deine Videos ziemlich von Anfang an. Es ist schön zu sehen das Du mittlerweile sehr bekannt bist und Dein Wissen auch bei Profis geschätzt wird. Das freut mich sehr für Dich. Ich hatte zu Beginn oft überlegt ob ich Dein Serve Online Tutorial buchen soll aber ich hatte Angst wg den Kosten und wenn ich sehe wen Du mittlerweile trainierst.... ist es vermutlich nicht günstiger geworden 😂😂😂. Das freut mich für Dich. Deswegen möchte ich mich aber bedanken, daß Du dennoch Deine YouTube Videos hier drehst um auch Amateure und Anfänger wie mir Hilfestellungen zu bieten. Danke dafür. LG

Against the ghost serve (or backspin serves in general) I think stepping in with the right foot, firmly placing it under the table, is key. Most amateurs use the upper body and arm to get under the ball, but don't put enough importance into the footwork. In fact, I'd dare say even Shyan is doing this a little bit - he's a much better player than me though.

Great video! Silly question: can a backhand flick be used to receive a heavy backspin short serve?
If yes, what would the technique look like?
Likewise, can a forehand flick be used to receive a heavy backspin short serve?
Thanks.

Hey Craig great video as always I am struggling with long fast dead serves with maybe a little bit of backspin but purely no spin serve.When I try to play quality low to the net and fast I make error to the net and when I try to play high spin quality deep so I don’t get killed on the counterloop I miss out of the table any tips on that I cant seem to find the perfect execution and what to aim for in my return.(specially in my deep backhand corner or middle if its clean to the forehand its managable).

Craig, I’m using Spinsight to train my serves. I’m sure you heard of them. My question to you is: Roughly how much spin (rps) should I be aiming for in my ghost serve? My level is around 1300 TTR

Hey man! the majority in the Amatur (Romanian Amateur league: categories from Hobby, Advanced, Open and Elite) league is serving long. one bounce in the opponent side. I know that you suppose to attack those serves, but is not that easy. Could you show how to approach and deal with these kind of servers. How to get better in attacking long serves. Thanks and GAME ON!
