I'm making a C Drive library of your videos for repeated viewing. The more I watch them, then practice, the more my game improves.
You vs other YouTube instructors:
1) Clear articulation
2) Great demonstrations of each technique
3) Slow Mo of each technique
4) Top Tips
==>>> Your videos are pure gold!

This is actually the best ping-pong tutorial I've ever seen. To me, as someone who's only learning from YouTube and not a real coach, having a very detailed explanation really helps me, especially because you explain the thing process.

Your tip on the loction of the table to ensure a quality short top spin , along with the simple yet brillant explanation of the top spin disguise ..best I have seen ... will definitely share your channel

I like your calmness: it's a welcome change from the overly enthusiastic videos we often get. Very soothing.
Everything else is absolutely top notch: the 3 steps, the repeated placement argument, the location of the first bounce and why you choose to deceive towards the topspin motion.
What I''m taking from this is going back to practicing pure sidespin pendulum with all the "minor adjustments" you advise and play practice matches with variation of placement alone. Then I might go back to where I am today: variation of spin. Deception is not for me yet: it screws up the spin itself. On the backhand I find much easier to include some deception and pull back the elbow before or after the contact.
Thanks a lot!

i prefer the bloopers because its closer to my own game ! Plus it shows you are human and aren't pretending to be perfect. Great instructive class  !

[timothynguyen]

It's my favorite serves! And I love the deception part where you merge the after-actions together. Much appreciated, Craig! For the next videos, I would love to see how you use these serves strategically to set up for a 3rd ball attack, or control where the 2nd ball will be returned to your side. Thanks.

Your SOSIA here Craig thank you so much for this video, because I want to improve this service! 💪🏻 The second part and third are the most dufficult for me

i really like these long tutorial videos. Very detailed. IF you somehow can add where you exactly hit the ball with a mark then i would be so happy. Golden delivery!

[sudori]

good commentation. especially 1st section about an angle. I have produced a backspin with a flat angle.

This tutorial is a fantastic breakdown of the pendulum serve! The detailed explanation of grip and stance really helps understand how to generate spin effectively. A must-watch for anyone looking to improve their serving technique. 👏👏

[jayaragay]

I truly appreciate the tips and advice for this video; it's truly helped a lot. Keep it up, coach. Greetings from the Philippines❤.

[michaellevi]

Brilliant tutorial. Very methodical and instructive.

[andyman]

Thanks a lot for nicely breaking this serve down into its most important components, makes it so much easier to learn. I would like to see more on deception techniques 👍

[mecagoenparis]

Great video, good explanations and many details. Some people talk too much, not you Craig :) Thanks a lot!

[BaoAnInvesting]

love the videos, verry useful, easy step by step implementation, even as an intermediate level player could learn a lot from the breakdown explaination of those techniques

[garciarichardson]

I love the deception part in the video and very useful tips on doing the pendulum serves

[tiafoeindisputedgoat]

I don't usually comment but it's a pleasure to watch your videos, I'm a little frenchie amateur and listening to you helps me to practice both english and table tennis skills ! Keep it up :)

[akfsx]

Actually watched it. Very big improvement in quality comparing to your early videos with Tom. Not too slow, not too fast and I could clearly see what are you doing even without slow-mo. Exactly what is needed for a tutorial video ❤. Perhaps the brown doors and camera angle helped a lot.

[masterflamewing]

I followed your tutorials for pendulum serves and watched closely. Needless to say im cooking now, easily went up 100 rating points since it added the spin and missing parts I needed. Thank you

[electrichospital]

Thank you for the great tutorials. I watched some where the elbow was maintained very high throughout the serve. The claim was the muscle group was faster on the elbow down. I have also watched where the various spins changed by where the ball was contacted in the arc of the paddle. Backspin as the paddle is headed down and top spin as the paddle is arching up. The side spin changed as to where on the ball you did your magic. I would love to see this with a penholder grip too. I look forward to your thoughts.
