0:11The snake serve is used very seldom as it's hard to control and almost impossible to learn.
0:18Before showing you the mechanics of the snake serve, let me share with you an almost true
0:24story of how I tracked down the master of the snake serve near the Thai, Burmese border.
0:32For the longest time, I'd heard mysterious stories of a magic reptile that lived deep
0:38in the jungle and held the secret to the snake serve.
0:44So I headed North and dedicated my life to finding this magic reptile.
0:50After months in the jungle of searching high and searching low, I stumbled across what
0:57was undoubtedly the master of the snake serve.
1:01Master Snake convinced me to dedicate 3 years of my life. I agreed on one condition. That
1:08Master Snake also trained me in the reverse pendulum serve and the snake serve can't be
1:13used alone.
1:14The master agree and so the training began.
1:18We went to a hidden Buddist Temple where he trained me in the ancient, forgotten art of
1:24the snake serve.
1:25Most wrist he would scream, more wrist. Imagine your arm is a snake. He even moved me onto
1:32a diet of mice and small rodents.
1:35Then after I finally got my ten thousand hours of training, Master Snake announced that I
1:41was ready.
1:42He made me promise to share the snake serve on YouTube so the art would never be lost
1:47again.
1:48I'll bet the suspense is killing you. You're screaming inside...Dude, just show me the
1:55snake serve!!!
1:59Before unleashing the serpent like serve, I'll start with a couple of reverse serves
2:04to show contrast as the snake serve is designed for deception.
2:08The arrow on the screen shows the line of the reverse serve.
2:14Note the elbow and finishing position of the reverse serve.
2:18Here's a couple of vicious snakes serves for you.
2:22With the reverse serve your contact is down here as you're pushing out, but the snake
2:28serve is completely different.
2:31The contact is here as you're moving your wrist in and pushing your arm out at exactly
2:37the same time.
2:39This contact here is what generates all the topspin.
2:43So this is slow mo of the snake serve.
2:46The red arrow shows you the line of the reverse serve and green arrow shows you the actual
2:52line of the snake serve.
2:55Note that my finishing position is almost identical to the reverse serve.
3:00This is a side-by-side view of the snake serve and the reverse serve.
3:06Notice how similar the actions are and again, look at the finishing positions for both serves.
3:12Both of the following 2 serves are not examples of snake serves. They are just regular sidespin
3:19pendulum serves and the arm is just moved around at the end to try to create the illusion.
3:26Master Snake calls these serves Lizard Serves!
3:31Now we have a different angle for 2 reverse serves, 2 snake serves and 2 lizard serves.
3:45To conclude this saga, Master Snake Skype called me last week and told me that he'd
3:50be visiting us in Chiang Mai to help out with some of the coaching here.
3:55Didn't you Master Snake
