The serve looks like its coming along well, but I think you are missing the BIG picture, which is how do you make that serve earn you points. Maybe its a new endeavor which then fine have fun, but if you are planning to use that in a game, you need to make it as to generate third ball attacks for you. In a match against a 1700+ player, they will pounce on that serve as it comes right out to the forehand begging to be ripped. I suggest seeing how Wang Hao uses that serve in a game and emulating his progression, and it can be really useful.

I actually don't see anything wrong with the serve as long as you start from the backhand corner. If you can hook it into your opponents playing elbow it could force a miss or a weak loop.

From the forehand corner mix it with a short dead, topside, and backside pendulum serve to the forehand and know it will probably comeback to your forehand which is what you want being a penhold player. Also if you can mix the placement from standing on the forehand side to the backhand making all the serves short from there the long topspin serve to the wide forehand will still be effective.

What I am saying is the new serve can be good as long as you combine it with other short serves and use it very sparingly. Also the more sidespin you use on that serve the more difficult for your opponent because the safe play has to be down the line to your backhand... If they are not careful it will go off the forehand side and not hit the table at all.

But it is true. Know what you want to achieve with that serve and when to use it.

that was just the first bit of training i had using that serve and i was mainly practicing getting the timing down, while keeping it low and quick. which would be more of a surprice serve as it starts with the normal back spin motion/beginning followed by a quick transition to the reverse side before contact.

so most of the balls i was trying to get to the opponents deep FH side and even deeper and shorter ones as well. kinda like what He Zhi when does to right handers and sends the ball deep and fast



heres an image of what i was practicing mainly.

the diamond represents serving position/ball contact. and the red lines are desired ball trajectory

there were some parts where i served to BH jsut to mix it up..

also most of the spin generated will come from torso rotation , bat movement only helps with speed and desidred spin and trajectory. thast what i found anyway
