p/s : sedutan amik kat forum lain.. corkspin tu spin camne ehh?

Hi Friends,

I've been watching this video quite a bit, especially the serves section. I don't understand the language but can piece together some of what is going on, here is what I have so far, if others can clarify and correct any errors it would be very helpful!

This is covering the pieces shot in what resembles an underground playing facility with low light - includes slo-mo, and multiple videos of the same serve (played together).

Ok, here is what I have so far; all serves are forehand from backhand corner:

13:11 - 14:03: "There are different opinions, some people say you have to make ball-contact with service early. Even I can't do that...like make ball contact early and than let it go at the end (of the rubber, like he demonstrates). That's so hard. For me it's right to even hit the ball (?!) and then...When you want to create spin, you'll need a fast movement. And to accomplish that: Training, training, training. First you'll start slow...with a low amount of effect. But after a little while you'll get more feeling..it'll go faster and faster and then you'll able to produce good spin on your services. --- a lot of training and then you will get it right and get a good timing and you're hand/wrist movement will be fast and then you've got spin!"

14:17: Schlager performs forehand underspin short serve to the middle - a little bit of side creeps in. Notice how he scoops under the ball and in the front of it to maximize the underspin.

14:39: Schlager repeats the underspin short serve to the middle, this time using a reverse pendulum motion.

15:05: Schlager performs a long underspin serve to the backhand corner on the opponent side, using a reverse pendulum motion.

15:30: Schlager demonstrates left-to-right side-spin to the middle using reverse pendulum motion.

16:06: Pendulum serve: Side-top spin variation, short to middle / backhand side.

18:30 - 19:13: "When I look at someone elses play and I see that someone's got a strong service..I want to immitate that..but I can't. ..That's his service, he has got this feeling..he can hit the ball at a particular way, with such a fast movement, that he can produce good spin like that. But I can't do that. You must not copy the service exactly..but about the same. You try to do his service, and do it again and again and again untill you'll also be able to make a short serve and untill it'll be of good quality."

19:15: Reverse pedulum serve with full pendulum motion: Underspin short to backhand side.

19:30: Deception! Serve appears to be a reverse pendulum serve, but at the last moment, Schlager performs a (mini) pendulum side-top serve to the backhand side.

20:08: High-toss, short underspin serve, some with varying amounts of sidespin.

21:08: High-toss, no-spin / light side / top serve fast down the line to the forehand.

21:38: Here I'm a little fuzzy - low toss, corkscrew side-under spin???

22:18 - 22:51 In this part he tells about practising service. When you're only practising with a box full of balls and stand next to a table and perform loads of services you'll never get as consistent on your services as when you do a lotof trainingsmatches. Because when you train with just a box of balls the position in which you stand in the beginning and at the end of a service will be different as in a real match. So he tells, to train your service it's best to just do a lot of mini-matches.

Please post any comments, additions, corrections and I will merge them all into this list! thanks!
