Points to look for:
- The player is continuing to watch the ball closely.
- The free arm is on its way to the left side of the player to conform with the rules of table tennis which state that the free arm must be moved from the space between the ball and the net as soon as the ball is projected.
- This is a fairly high ball toss, which suits the player's own rhythm. A higher ball toss will give a little more speed and spin on the ball, but a lower ball toss is perfectly acceptable. In fact, varying the height of the ball toss is a good idea.
- In this particular serve, the player has reached the end of his backswing at the same time as the ball reaches the top of its flight. This is not something that has to be copied, but just reflects the technique of this player.
