Only just got it in, I've only watched the preview...

I expect you're too advanced to benefit from it BH since you're one of the highest level players here, but I think a lot of other people will probably find it useful... I hold Jeff and Alois in high regard, they are very knowlegable!

I'll watch it on the weekend and give you my thoughts..

Oh no.....I'm far from being an "advanced" players. I got murdered by those US nat team by their serves!!!!!!
I think those guys "Jeff and Alois" must be at least US 2500+ and they must know somethings I don't know.

Note: Serving thing is one of my most "interest topic" and one of my specialty so I kind of want to know all of serving trick. The "pro table tennis serve" by Alpha is a big disappointment to me so I want to know about this one.

Jeff was a top aussie player, not sure how that compares to US. I've actually met Alois who's a real nice guy, and from talking to a few players is a very highly regarded coach, one of the top in AU.

I don't know exactly what level of play they are targeting in the DVD, but I'll find out... It is always a matter of opinion how good the DVD is... I have not seen the Alpha one to compare...but I'll give you my honest opinion...

They demonstrate the pendulum, reverse pendulum, tomahawk, backhand and high toss serves, plus discuss various basic tactics. I would have liked to see more actual examples of serves in game situations and also a discussion on advantages and/or disadvantages of serving with or against LP, SP, anti and tacky rubbers. Overall, it's a pretty good overview and probably the best thing out there in English.

Slippery, as you are above me on the OAK rankings I think I would be a better low level reviewer, so I am willing to volunteer my time to watch it and do a review. And I'd be more than happy to recommend to you whether it would be a worthy purchase or not too

Yeah, they had a pre-release special on it and it arrived yesterday. Since my serving is so bad I thought I'd better watch it right away.

Yes, I was very disappointed by this DVD, and I can't believe I paid $26 for it to just watch a bunch of pro players doing different serves. Some were pretty obvious and some were not. I would rather watch BH serve, it looks more deceptive.

Ok, here is my mini-review of the DVD:

I've watched it all and I think it's quite a good DVD, the best DVD on serves I've seen and I'm happy to recommend it to people. It's about 50mins long and it basically illustrates the major serves used in TT.

A few comments:

- Good details of the basic mechanics of all the major serves
- A good guide for someone that does not have the full range of serves
- highlights of the major points that are important adds a nice touch
- excellent slow motion really helps illustrate the details
- music adds a nice touch
- video quality is good and clear, although the lighting is a little dark at times.
- sound not as clean and consistant as is professional DVDs - not a big deal as everything is clearly understandable
- video lighting could be a little better - not a big deal as everything is clearly visible

For some people in the higher grades in clubs (like myself), it did not reveal anything really new (or secret ), since I pretty much knew the serves covered, although there were a few tips I did find very useful, and it highlighted things to focus on to make the serve succesful. There are many people in the top grades that do NOT have the full range of serves though, who could well benefit from this. The DVD is aimed at club level players that do not have the full range of serves, or want to learn some new serves or variation of serves.
