on 1/13/2009 With all due respect for Scott's passion for table tennis, I believe his comments/advice reflect his skill level, which I estimate as high level beginner. Based on reviewing his videos, it's obvious to me that Scott doesn't understand table tennis technique and rules and shouldn't be considered an expert in this area.
I'd advise viewers to visit the following websites for expert advice:

Video Transcript

"SCOTT BROWDER: Now that we've established where our body should be, we want to be able to do the same thing with our spins and the speed that we're putting on the ball. So we talked about the outside spin, we talked about the inside spin. Now, I'm going to talk about a cut shot or a cut serve. So what we're going to do is we're, again, our body position is going to be down low in the, kind of almost in a ready position. We make our toss, you can even toss it from below the table level as long as the ball is visible at some point away from your hand, a hundred and eighty degrees, then that's a legal serve. So we could even try that, especially with the cut serve. So we can launch it, come, start high on this serve, and you're actually coming down with the face of your paddle not moving. Hardly at all, it's more of an arm shot, and you're coming down in to the ball. So we'll basically be slicing down under the ball with our paddle angled at that type of an angle. Maybe it's a twenty degree, whatever. You're slicing down starting high, finishing low on that slice shot. And that's the slice serve."
